Three Syllable Names for Boys

Ranine name with a bouncy rhythm.

A very small number of boys are given this intense and aggressive name each year.

Commonly shortened to Sakari, which may have broader appeal.

Ravana is a multi-headed demon-king of Lanka in Hindu mythology. Ravana has ten heads and twenty arms, and can shape shift.

Patterson is an upscale name worth considering if you're looking to continue a line of Peters, but soundalike Paterson is a downscale city in New Jersey.

Variation of Alexander.

Could make for a strong and stylish honor name for an ancestral Matt.

Taras is the former name of the Italian city Taranto, which was settled by Greeks in the 8th century BC. The founders named it after Taras, who figures in Greek mythology as the son of Poseidon. A saint from Constantinople bore the name.

Keneti is an appealing Samoan name made famous by New Zealand actor KJ (Keneti James) Fitzgerald Apa, who plays Archie Andrews in the teen drama series Riverdale. His father, also called Keneti, is a native Samoan who was a village matai (chief).

Older Biblical form of Jekuthiel.

Jovany may be easier to understand for English speakers, but the more serious and authentic Jovan or Giovanni would be better choices.
