Three-syllablle boys' names for a lisper

The surname rhymes with 'Killer', so names ending in -er are out. I like names like Leo, Isaac, Hugo, Arlo, Kit, but have just realised (to my horror) that three syllable names like Alisdair have a much better ring!

Don't like Alisdair (it's a nice name, but I have a lisp). Can you suggest any others? (preferably without 's' sounds! Z is fine ..)

I have a lisp too, and it's typical that all the names I like begin with an S.
Yeah I thought of Dominic too.
Elijah,
Jonathan,
Zachary,
Erm erm erm I think that's it.

I love Jonathan, but if you combine it with DP's surname you get the name of a famous paedophile Shock !

It's annoying isn't it OzmaofOz? in normal life you just have to get on with it, but it seems perverse to name my own child something I can't say! I love love Elijah, that's a new one on me
