One syllable boy's names?

**~Stoked~** · June 30th, 2011, 02:03 PM

Ok so I think this baby needs a one syllable name.. Our other two kids have names ending in the 'ee' sound (B r i t t n e y and A r c h i e).

I want something not too common but not completely weird either!

Top of our list so far are-

Tex (my fav!)
Zac (DH's fav)
Taite
Will
Tom
Joe
Sid

WDYT and if you have any suggestions please let me know!

Tom is my favourite - but that is DS's name

. People do tend to call him 'Thomas' (which is not his full name, he is 'just Tom' as he tells everyone). People also call him Tommy or Tomcat (I blame Tom Cruise/Katie). I find lots of older people say "That's a good solid name" when they hear it

I LOVE Tex - it is really cool and suits baby/boy/teen/adult. I also like Will.

My DS2 is Rhys, not overly common but not unusual either.

You will probably find that Zac, Will, Tom, Joe and Syd will be extended to the full versions of the names. It seems that if you use the longer version everyone shortens it and if you use the short version everyone lengthens it..

I love Tex and Syd, I think that Tom, Joe and Will are very common and also shortened versions of longer names - but I do like them.

What about Dean (great name)!!

^^ They're some of my favourites.

If I were going to do Wil, it would be short for Wilbur. Or Wilberforce. Or Willoughby.

I looooove Tex. Zac is a bit, ummm, nineties for me. (I think because I was a teenager in that era where everyone was in love with an American celebrity Zac? I just couldn't do it) Would you consider Isaac as a longer form?

DS has 'Tex' as one of his middle names, and to be honest it is the one name that is getting used the most. We got Tex from Tex Perkins - the australian singer/songwriter who DH is mad about. I was dubious about the name when he suggested it but now I love it and wonder if we should have used it as a first, not third name!

**~Stoked~** · July 1st, 2011, 09:36 AM

Thanks ladies. What worries me about Will is that it'll get lengthened to Willy! I really don't want that!

DH's cousin has a son named Tex.

The only issue they have is people assuming is a nickname an addressing him as 'Texas' both in person and on official documents, mail etc

I like it.
