15,000+ Two-Syllable Boy Names

The name of the hero in Arundhati Roy's acclaimed 1997 novel The God of Small Things, who is rendered mute by childhood trauma. His twin sister, with whom he is very close, is named Rahel. Probably too close to Esther to be very practicable for a boy in the U.S..

If Arthur is too mainstream for you nowadays, this related name definitely won't be. It belongs to a village and river in North Wales.
