A short first name can complement a longer last name, and vice versa. A one-syllable first name might come across as strong and decisive, with the added benefit that there's less risk the name will devolve into a nickname. A two-syllable name might be just perfect for tripping off the tongue as well as meeting the other needs. Among the most popular names in recent years are the two-syllable Emma, Ava, Noah, and Liam. A three-syllable name might be more distinguished as your child enters a profession. Plus, it may have a preferred nickname that you intend to use at home. Three-syllable names Sophia, Evelyn, Benjamin, Elijah, and Oliver were also in the top 10 in recent years. When considering the name of your new arrival, be sure to test how it sounds out loud. You will be saying that name for a great many years to come!
