Boys names - one syllable?

36 replies

Dalmore30 · 22/05/2020 16:35

Hello,

I’m expecting my first baby in 5 weeks and am still nowhere closer to settling on a name.
I like boys names that are one syllable or end in a ‘y’ sound.

Any suggestion very much appreciated!

Here are some I like but partner doesn’t :/

Finn
Ritchie
Bailey
Cove
Oli

What does your partner like? Might help us figure out an inbetweener name.

Thank you all so much!

That’s really helpful - thanks so much for all of the suggestions.

Out of interest - what do people think of the name Cove? Too out there?

Not keen on Cove, it's shorthand for a "bit of a lad" I think. He would be the naughty boy at school! Wink

AragornsManlyStubble · 22/05/2020 18:12

I love Cove. Smile

But I also suggest Bay

Blursula · 22/05/2020 19:29

I like Cove, and I know a baby one. Be prepared for a lot of people to associate it with Covid at this time though! (Not that it will matter a few months down the line)

InTropicalTrumpsLand · 22/05/2020 19:37

When I read your OP I immediately thought of Roy.

TildaTurnip · 22/05/2020 22:41

Cove? No. Sounds like it is short for Covid.

Dalmore30 · 22/05/2020 22:46

Very good point re Covid. Can’t believe I didn’t think of that Confused

What about Cole? Cove is too reminiscent of Covid IMHO

BubblesBuddy · 22/05/2020 22:48

Y sounds are all two syllable. Y is the second syllable. If you want one sharp syllable name there are lots including the above and:

Ben
Dan
Dev
Ed
Fred
Ged
Ger
Hal
Jon
Ken
Len
Mal
Ned
Per
Rod
Ray
Sid
Sam
Tom
Vince
Will
