re: Baby Names: Good first names with more than two syllables

Not necessarily. It's a matter of opinion to a degree but depending upon circumstances, the likelihood of truncation increases. For example, that kid had three siblings.

Jeremy - Valerie -Jordan - Justin

Guess which two got truncated by mom? When you're calling that many names repeatedly,the extra syllables drop, habits form, and the kid wants a constant.

I'd prefer to name them something that they will be called.

Could be gay. It's been years.

My wife and I were close to naming our daughter Adelaide after the city in Australia not the restaurant, but were afraid she would become Addy.

Adrian.

Addy
'Drie
'Ann
Ian

It's cool, I do the same. I have heard 'Drin a couple of times but it never even came close to sticking.

If anything people have always tried to make my name longer....they think it's clever to add a "yo" in front of it.

I'll take "Threads that I never imagined in my life would go 20+ pages" for $1,000, Alex.

Have you agreed with anyone in this thread.


I really don't see why any of this matters

I still think Adrian is the correct answer
