One syllable boys names

48 replies

AsanteSanaSquashBanana · 10/05/2021 22:51

Please help me think of some boys names I might like! I prefer one syllable boys names, favourites which I cannot use are:

Max (friends son)
Finn (close family member)
Jake (too similar to DH's name)
Zach (DH says its too American Hmm)

Ideally more traditional names than surnames (Blake / Cole etc)

If you want traditional one syllable then it's got to be John or Hugh imo - so underused now (especially Hugh). They can always be Johnny or Hugo if they want a trendier nn.

Thanks, out of these I love Joe, Will, Guy, Jude - I may add them as potentials! I like Rex too but does it sound too doggy?

I love Rex. Although to be fair I probably will use it for my next dog as I can't have any more children.

If you like Joe what about Joel?

PhannyPharts · 11/05/2021 22:53

Sorry just seen someone else suggested that. Should have rtft
