mn will be Marinos, last name is a nightmare... first name??

DH is Greek and therefore we must name our son after his father, Marinos. Our last name is 12 letters, 3 syllables and looks horrible on paper. I am at a loss for first name, the name that we will actually call him.

We have considered [name]Jacob[/name], [name]Leo[/name], [name]Simon[/name], [name]Thomas[/name] but none are winning. We like traditional and no more than 2 syllables. If it’s a Greek name as well, even better!

[name]Lucas[/name] / [name]Luke[/name]
[name]Alec[/name]
[name]Andrew[/name]
[name]Peter[/name]
[name]Philip[/name]
[name]Stephen[/name] / [name]Steven[/name]
[name]Timothy[/name]
[name]Timon[/name]
[name]Yannis[/name]
[name]Zander[/name]

[name]How[/name] about [name]Victor[/name]?

It’s not Greek (I don’t think) but it’s a great name and I think the sounds would flow well with the middle name. Also, it has a sharpness to it that seems like it would offset a long and complicated (and possibly s heavy?) middle and last name.
Finally, if he’s frustrated with learning/ teaching others how to spell and/or pronounce his last name, he can find some solace in going by the short and familiar [name]Vic[/name].

[name]Theo[/name] came to mind!

[name]Daniel[/name] Marinos
[name]Max[/name] Marinos
[name]Alban[/name] Marinos
[name]Quentin[/name] Marinos
[name]David[/name] Marinos
[name]Felix[/name] Marinos
[name]Martin[/name] Marinos
[name]Andrew[/name] Marinos
[name]William[/name] Marinos
[name]Victor[/name] Marinos
[name]Arthur[/name] Marinos
[name]Ezra[/name] Marinos
[name]Henry[/name] Marinos

what about [name]Nicolas[/name], nn [name]Nico[/name]?

Definitely a relatively short, well-known first name where the spelling is a no-brainer. As Jlm suggested, [name]Victor[/name] would sound especially nice! Alternatively, [name]David[/name].

[name]Mark[/name] would be a good name

thanks all, please give me more!

It doesn’t have to really be traditional, just nothing too unusual either. :slight_smile:

I like the suggestion of [name]Theo[/name].

[name]Alex[/name]

[name]George[/name] Marinos
