Boys Name Challenge

[JuliaGulia]

Hi everyone.

We're looking for a boy's name, 3 syllables, that hopefully wont be shortened.

Any suggestions? We'll consider anything.

Thanks!

I would imagine names with 3 syllables are ripe for shortening!

Benjamin,
Dominic,
Zachary
Jonathan
Nicholas
Oliver
Joshua
Raphael
Theodore
Gregory
Elliot
Christopher
Will iam
Cameron

Alistair
Broderick
Cameron
Claudius
Damien

Florian
Gideon

Llewellyn
Lorenzo
Lucien
Oberon
Romeo
Sylvester
Sullivan

Gideon is nice. Julian. Dominic.

I don't know if you can be certain it won't be shortened.

I really like Julian at the moment. It's classic without being over-used, and distinguished without being pompous.

agree. Julius might be hard to pull off!! but Julian is a normal sporty sounding of guy. (not that I read too much into names or anything )

I do love Julius though. I couldn't use it myself though.

I don't think these 3 syllable names are necessarily going to be shortened

Julian
Gideon
Damian
Florian

Maggie, every Dominic I know is called Dom .

nathaniel
gabriel
Caspian

Malichai (sp?)
Jeremiah

Thanks for all your great suggestions - we'll definitely consider some of them.

I agree most long names are shortened but we hope that if we promote the full name from birth, friends and family will follow suit.

Can't really use Julian - given my nickname - but I love Elliott (DH isn't so sure) and Cameron is great too.

I'll let you know how we get on!

Elliott really would be tough to shorten but my son is Cameron and EVERYONE calls him Cam or Cammy, including us!
