We’re looking for names with 5 letters but only one syllable for both genders. I have a daughter called Niamh already so would like a name to follow this pattern for our second. Would like to avoid traditional Irish names this time around. So far I’ve come up with

Grace
Fearn
Fleur
James
Myles
Flynn

I would say Myles is two syllables - wouldn't you?

I like Grace and James 👍🏻

Is there a specific reason why five letters? I sort of get wanting another name of one syllable. Not criticising, just curious!

@sinkgirl I suppose I’m just being extra picky Smile and would like 5 letters as it looks nice written down next to Niamh. If we found a name we both liked that didn’t fit this criteria I wouldn’t be stubborn about it but I just wanted to see if there were any lovely options that I hadn’t already thought of.
