Three Syllable Names for Boys

Another name for the element Mercury. Quicksilver is also the alter-ego of X-Men and Avengers character Pietro Maximoff.

Just one letter off from Corentin, but an entirely different name — the Cornish variation stresses the middle syllable, while the French stresses the last. And in America, where both versions are unknown, people are likely going to guess that the emphasis belongs on the first syllable.

A beautiful rare choice, also spelled Oriol, derived from Latin aurum "gold".

The full name of recurring Game of Thrones character Dolorous Edd, who was appointed head of the Night's Watch late in the series. While we like Edison, the extra "d" is probably going to cause more confusion than it's worth for all but the most diehard fans.

A Greek form of Anthony, derived from Latin.

An attractive Arabic name reminiscent of Camila and Cameron.

Scottish and Irish Mac and Mc surnames are definitely up for consideration, and this one has sports cred via its link to tennis champ John. It was one of the fastest-rising names on Nameberry in early 2018, though this hasn't translated into real-life use yet. We still think it's one of the coolest undiscovered Scottish names for boys.

Flanagan is an elabortion of Flann, and cousin of Flynn and Finn: a member of the family of colorful Irish red-headed names. This one is lively and undiscovered.

This Hungarian form of Adrian is traditionally spelled with an accent, Adorján.

If you choose this name, it's not likely to be for the meaning.
