    Short Boy Names

    Hi all! Me and my dh are pregnant with a boy due in early September and are having trouble finding the right name! Our last name is four syllables so we're looking for a shorter fn, preferably one syllable. To give you a sense of our style, here's our current list:
    Brett
    Cael/Cale
    Finn
    Shea

    Any and all suggestions/comments are appreciated

    I like Finn a lot! Would you consider Caleb nn Cale? Cale has always seemed incomplete, but I love Caleb, as you can see in my signature, haha. I think Caelan nn Cael/Cale is pretty cool, too.

    Other ideas:

    Zane
    Seth
    Max
    Jack
    Flynn
    James
    Noah
    Jonah
    Isaac
    Oscar
    Joel
    Jude
    Henry
    Calvin
    Daniel
    Pax (or Patrick/Paxton, nn Pax?)
    Rhys (or Reese/Reece?)
    Kai
    Luke/Lucas
    Dane
    Boone
    Brooks
    Cole
    Vaughn
    Asher/Ashton (or just Ash?)
    Blake
    Bram
    Chase
    Clark
    Cyrus/Simon/Silas (or I suppose you could just use Cy/Si, but I like the fuller names more)
    Dean
    Ford
    Gabe (I absolutely love Gabriel, but I suppose you could just use Gabe...)
    Gage
    Grant
    Gray
    Ian
    Liam
    Miles (or Milo)
    Quinn
    West

    Good luck!

    I like Brett and Cael/Cale from your list. I don't care for the others at all. I like the suggestions of Quinn, Seth, Blake, Dean and Gabe. I also like Cade.
