I was just flipping through my baby name book out of boredom today and came across "The One-Syllable Solution". What's (or what are) your favourite one-syllable name(s)? Whether they're power names (Blaze) or more normal (Wade), what are they? I seem to find myself fascinated by them lately.

Jane and Bret. I don't know why I like Bret with one t. Bret for a boy, it seems necessary to add.

Luke & Liv

I also love one syllable nicknames for boys, like Sam, Ben, Jake, Hank, Nate, Luke, Max, etc.

Piping in with my older son's name: Seth

A lot of people call me Liz, my husband is Chris, so if those count...lol.

Our younger son we call Topher, and Toph. Toph is one syllable. ;)

And our due-in-september daughter's middle name is slated to be "Rose". (her first will be Annika, definately not one syllable, :-p)

Annika Rose is a very pretty name :)

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

My name is Claire and I always felt ripped off by only having one syllable. But we always want what we do not have I suppose.

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

Same! It mostly because i knew so many Elizabeths and Jesscas as a child....i never got a nickname!
I love my name now though.

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

For boys I like..
George
Roy [My late grandfather...I would use as a middle name]

I also have written down...
Jett
Beck
Hart
Zane
....and i get that they're 'trendy' or whatever, those are sort of my guilty pleasure names.

For girls...
Rain/Raine - yes i know, i know. middle name only.
Claire - i'm conceited because i like my own name?

I don't really know what else actually...

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

I really like Beck.

[lookingatastar.livejournal.com]

Paige, and a couple that have already been mentioned like James and Luke.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Ooh, Bop. That's a very pretty name. :)

[glassteapot.livejournal.com]

lol. Yes, if I have twins I'm thinking of naming them Bop and Cork...

Don't laugh, I bet someone somewhere has done it... gawd. :p

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if Ryan is one syllable or two.

For a girl I like Ren, Rue and Quinn.
For a boy I like Zach and Owen.

Kate. If I could find a middle name that really went with Kate, I'd name my child that in a heartbeat.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]
