Two Syllable Names for Boys

Dawid

Daxen

Daymond, with many different spellings most prominently Dayman, is an ancient English occupational surname and personal name, taken from the word deye which denotes someone who tended animals.
 
While its sound is part Raymond, part Damon, its centuries-long history gives Daymond an identity all its own.
 
Only a handful of baby boys were named Daymond in the US last year. Its best-known bearer is Daymond John, founder of the clothing line FUBU and one of the original Sharks on Shark Tank.

Deandrae is a masculine name that appears to combine elements of 'De-' or 'Dean' with '-andre' or '-andrae.' The 'Andre' component derives from the Greek 'Andreas,' meaning 'manly' or 'brave,' ultimately from 'aner' (man). The 'De-' prefix might be a creative addition or possibly related to names like Deandre, which combines French 'de' (of) with 'Andre.' The spelling with '-ae' ending represents a distinctive variation that emerged primarily in the United States in the latter part of the 20th century. The name follows the pattern of combining recognizable name elements to create something both familiar and unique. While not among the most common names, Deandrae has maintained a consistent presence in naming records since its emergence. The name exemplifies the trend toward longer, more melodic masculine names that gained popularity during this period.

Delmer is kind of a smoosh of two dated names, Delmar and Elmer, that does not improve on either. While Elmer is making a return as a Geek Chic name, Delmar was given to only 14 baby boys last year while Delmer is extinct.

Demetre is a masculine name of Greek origin, a variant of Demetrius, which derives from Demeter, the Greek goddess of agriculture and harvest. This name carries connotations of fertility and abundance. Throughout history, Demetre has been particularly common in Eastern European countries, especially Georgia, where it's considered a traditional name. In Western countries, it remains relatively uncommon, giving it a distinctive quality. The name has maintained steady but modest usage, appealing to parents seeking a name with classical roots yet uncommon presence. Demetre combines sophistication with a slight exotic quality, and bearers of this name might appreciate its connection to ancient mythology and cultural heritage.

Demon is probably best left as an edgy nickname or chosen moniker than put on the birth certificate. Typically associated with evil or familiar spirits, it could also be considered an Ancient Greek name, meaning "the people". 
 
The protagonist of Barbara Kingsolver's David Copperfield adaptation, Demon Copperhead, is actually called Damon, which, along with Damien, might be a more wearable choice.

Deris

Derrek is a variant spelling of Derek, which originated from the Old German name Theodoric, meaning 'ruler of the people.' This alternative spelling adds a unique touch while maintaining the strong, masculine qualities of the traditional form. Derrek gained some popularity in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s but remains less common than Derek. The name carries connotations of leadership and strength. Notable namesakes include various athletes and musicians who have helped maintain the name's contemporary appeal. Derrek offers parents a slightly distinctive spelling of a classic name that remains recognizable while standing out on class rosters.

Derron is a modern masculine name that appears to be a variant of Darren or Deron. It likely shares its origins with Darren, which comes from the Gaelic surname Ó Dairinín, meaning 'descendant of Dáirín' (a diminutive of Dáire). The name has a strong, contemporary sound that resonates with parents looking for something slightly uncommon yet familiar. While not among the most popular names in the United States or other English-speaking countries, Derron has maintained a steady, if modest, presence since the mid-20th century. The name conveys a sense of strength and individuality, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking a distinctive name with traditional roots.
