So, I've been combing through the current most popular baby name charts and grouping names of similar syllabic lengths together. How many syllables do you think the longest name has? And would you guess it is a girl's name or a boy's name?
Well, if you said six syllables and a boy's name, you'd be right. In the top 1000 baby names, there is but one six syllable name, and that name would be....
(drum roll, please)
Maximiliano
Two brownie points to whomever guessed it!
Now I grouped names of similar pronunciation together, but here is the skinny on the number of names based on syllable length.
- 142 One Syllable Girl Names
- 112 One Syllable Boy Names
- 339 Two Syllable Girl Names
- 458 Two Syllable Boy Names
- 256 Three Syllable Girl Names
- 161 Three Syllable Boy Names
- 52 Four Syllable Girl Names
- 28 Four Syllable Boy Names
- 1 Five Syllable Girl Name
- 1 Five Syllable Boy Name
- 0 Six Syllable Girl Name
- 1 Six Syllable Boy Name
Any surprises?

My name did t even make the list. How dissappointing.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on four syllable baby names.
