Boys names - one sylable

34 replies

I have 2 boys on the way and I am beginning to panic as time is running out and NO NAMES as yet!
We have a DD who has a one sylable name, beginning with F - and it is slightly french sounding. Surname has lots of 'S's!
I quite like the idea of single sylable boys names. One name both DH and I agree is a possibility is Ralph.

Middle names are likely to be Michael, Edward or Kenneth - I am happy that I can get a middle name to fit, its the first names we are really stuggle with.

I could think of loads of girls names but struggle with boys! Anyone got any suggestions / names I could steal? :-)

Edward and Kenneth would be perfect though...I'm going to work on you. Wink

Thanks everyone! I think the shortlist is down to Ralph, Edward (nn Ted), Michael (probably known as Mikey). DH is really not sure about Edward and Kenneth is definitely relegated to middle name :-(

So one sylable is not really working!!

Your suggestions have really helped.

Kit is my absolute favourite boys name. I like Jem too.
