It seems that girl’s names with three or more syllables abound, but 3+ syllable boys names are few and far between. What are some of your favorite boy’s names with 3 or more syllables? Personally, I like:
[name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Amedeo[/name]
[name]Mateo[/name]
[name]Anthony[/name]
[name]Malachi[/name]
[name]Marius[/name]
[name]Raphael[/name]
And then, more guilty pleasures:
[name]Oceanus[/name]
[name]Ozias[/name]
[name]Zebedee[/name]
Any others that appeal to you?

Soooo… My boys’ names are all over the place. I don’t know if I would use any of these. Most of them definitely not as a FN. I’ve considered [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Nicholas[/name], [name]Octavian[/name], [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Leander[/name], [name]Dominic[/name], [name]Theodore[/name], and [name]Addison[/name] as MNs. [name]Avery[/name] [name]Linus[/name] [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Boone[/name] [name]Isaiah[/name] [name]Leo[/name], [name]Josiah[/name] [name]Felix[/name] [name]Robert[/name], and [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Edison[/name] [name]Rupert[/name] are on my short list right now, though, and [name]Emerson[/name] [name]Shane[/name] is still officially on my long list.
You’re right; there aren’t many 3 syllables for boys. We considered [name]Callahan[/name] when naming our first son.
[name]Frederick[/name]
[name]Leopold[/name]
[name]Solomon[/name]
[name]Sullivan[/name]
[name]Osiris[/name]
[name]Ignatius[/name]
[name]Thaddeus[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Tobiah[/name]
[name]Julian[/name]
[name]Peregrine[/name]
[name]McGregor[/name]

Guilty 80s flashback for me (although really it has a much longer history than that) is [name]Christopher[/name]. Nn [name]Chris[/name] is solid, but I’m also (guiltily, bc it sounds a lot like Tofu even with my American English) fond of the more exotic nn [name]Topher[/name].
