Name Suggestions for a short one syllable last name

General Name Discussion

My wife and I are having our first!

Completely baffled on names choices to go with our last name: [name]Cole[/name].

Gender is going to be a surprise so both boy & girl names are needed.

[name]Cole[/name] seems like it should be an easy last name to work with. Since it’s short and sweet, you mght want to consider first names that are longer for balance ([name]Claire[/name] [name]Cole[/name] for example, is a bit abrupt).
Are there any names that you like so far to get an idea of your style?
Any names you are considering for middles? Perhaps family names?

[name]Hi[/name] – one syllable names can be tricky. I think 3 syllable names go best, and in general, one syllable names do not (also this is more the case for girls than boys). [name]Cole[/name] is a great one for alliteration, if you like that (which I do):

[name]Caroline[/name] [name]Cole[/name]
[name]Katherine[/name] [name]Cole[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Cole[/name]
[name]Alexandra[/name] [name]Cole[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Cole[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Cole[/name]

I like [name]Avery[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Cameron[/name] for a girl and for a boy the becoming ever popular [name]Beckett[/name].

My wifes name is [name]Alexandra[/name] [name]Cole[/name] & my name is [name]Michael[/name].

Congratulations on [name]Baby[/name] [name]Cole[/name]! Let’s brainstorm names, shall we? I like to do a three-syllable first name and a two-syllable middle name with a one-syllable surname, but this isn’t the only pattern that works, obviously…

We have a simlilar situation, one syllable last name starting with a C, only it ends in S which makes things a tad bit harder.

I think [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Cole[/name] sounds lovely.

[name]Just[/name] going off the few names you listed Id say your style is modern with an infusion of both classical and trendy.

Some suggestions:
boys:
[name]Everett[/name]- Good alternative to [name]Beckett[/name]
[name]Emmett[/name]
[name]Ronan[/name]
[name]Silas[/name]
[name]Finley[/name]
[name]Brady[/name]
[name]Simon[/name]
[name]Duncan[/name]
[name]Carsten[/name]
[name]Julian[/name]
[name]Thatcher[/name]
[name]Griffin[/name]
[name]Sullivan[/name]
[name]August[/name]
[name]Keegan[/name]
[name]Layton[/name]
[name]Donovan[/name]
[name]Paxton[/name]
[name]Tiernan[/name]
[name]Easton[/name]
