Two syllable boys names

Along the lines of Arthur, Jasper.

Having a bit of a block on names, with the exception of the two above. I’m quite set on a two syllable name but not immoveable!

Thanks. I knew who Arthur Tudor, but not Jasper. I've never studied English history.

Fair enough! There will definitely be hefty gaps in my knowledge of other countries History.

Is interesting what you said about seeing them as very different sorts of names though, I was chatting about them with my mum and she said the same but didn’t elaborate on why. Not saying either of you are wrong in that, two people thinking it suggests I might be the minority.

Who were Arthur and Jasper in Tudor history? @SemperIdem

This is widely known information but -

Jasper Tudor - Henry VII’s uncle, instrumental in helping get him on the throne.

Arthur Tudor - Henry VII’s first born son, Catherine of Aragon’s first husband. History might have looked quite different had he not died.

Interesting re Arthur and Jasper, why so?

I see them from a (Tudor) history perspective, they were relatives.

Some great suggestions here, thank you!

I was indeed having a mental block, as you’ve all shown there are plenty of names that fit my criteria!

Or if it’s just a similar style but not sound you are after then some of my favourite 2 syllable ones are Owen, Orin, Evan, Samuel, Thomas, Ivo, Edward, Rufus, Maxim, Wilfred and Alfred.

There are a bit of a mix - but then I think Arthur and Jasper are slightly different despite both being popular - Arthur I see as a retro classic and Jasper a bit quirkier.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 30/09/2024 21:39

Oscar, Peter, Walter, Xander, Asher, Victor and Connor seem the obvious first names of a similar sound (plus Casper instead of Jasper?). Or the surname as first name route: Fraser, Spencer, Cooper etc

But some people pronounce their “ur/or/er” very similarly to “ah” in which case you have a lot more options like Luca, Asa, Ezra, Noah, Jonah, Judah … and probably a zillion more I haven’t thought of!
