Baby boy names with long I sound or ending in ie/y

42 replies

So I feel like I have exhausted every list, Instagram page and thread and I am still struggling to find the right* *name for baby boy.

Our surname is an awkward one, so a lot of names don’t sound right with it. Having said names out loud I think the names that seem to flow best end in an ie/y/ey such as Freddie or they have a long I sound in them such as Milo.

There are a few that I don’t mind but none that I love, so if anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it! The name we had planned to use before falling pregnant was Tommy, but for some reason went off it and now it doesn’t feel right.

I’m not sure I fully understand what is meant by the long l- but here are some options:

Abel
Alden
Axel
Caleb
Callum
Calvin
Carl
Cole
Gabriel
Holden
Joel
Marley
Maxwell
Miles
Nathaniel
Noel
Nolan
Raphael
Samuel
Silas

Some amazing suggestions - thank you!

Sorry, I’ve just realised the I may look like an L. So a long I sound as in Eye - the eye sound in Milo. Isaac would be another example.

Tobias and Elias/Elijah would be obvious picks for the long I sound imo. As the bonus is you get 2 names in 1 in Toby and Eli (popular given names in their own right but nice as nn’s too - good to have the choice imo).
