3 syllable boys' names

37 replies

Elbi · 28/07/2017 20:54

3 syllable names with emphasis on the first syllable (like Christopher or Atticus) go well with our one syllable surname and while we've got a few possibles for a girl, we can't find one we like for a boy. Things like Christopher and Nicholas are great names but I grew up with loads of them and associate them with my peer group. Any ideas?

I do like William but worry it's too popular. Frederick too but he'd just be Fred, wouldn't he? Also I LOVE Simeon but hubs thinks it's too 'weak'... Hmm

Doesn't Simian mean 'ape like' tho? 🤔 Never actually heard of it as a name but can't see it being appreciated by the receiver......

Alistair is excellent.

We're naming our next Nikita if it turns out to be a boy.

SteggySawUs · 28/07/2017 22:46

Elliot. Best name ever!

bridgetreilly · 29/07/2017 00:25

Frustrated, Simeon is a perfectly good name. Biblical in origin. Not the same as simian at all!

I have a Sullivan. Seem to get a compliments on his name, I'm guessing because it's not that well used as a first name!
