3-syllable names
| Wed, 01-25-2006 - 4:48pm |
Hi everyone,
I have a challenge for all of you: How many 3-syllable names (for boys and girls) can you come up with that have the stress on the first syllable? (Such as Genevieve, Juliet, Vivian, Alastair, Everett, and Theodor.) I like the cadence of these sorts of names for middle names.
Hopefully you all will be able to come up with some good ones that I've been missing!
TIA,
Erin
