Isn't Eric 2 syllables ?

Is this really a question? So is Jesse.

First syllable names I like that are not nicknames:
Paul
James
Charles
John
Luke
And some I don't like but also fit the not nickname but one syllable criteria:
Mark
Dean
Rhys
Scott
Todd
Granted
Graham
Shane
Sean
Craig
Keith
Drake

Okay, but in what world are “Charles,” “Granted,” and “Graham” one-syllable names?
...and WTF is “Granted”?

How many syllables do you think Charles has? It has one vowel that "does the talking", as my 1st grade teacher would say. It makes your mouth open one time, as my second grade teacher would say.

I am curious whether you don't know how to pronounce Charles, or you don't know what a syllable is.

Uh, no, I have a degree in English and certification as a reading specialist. Pretty sure I know what a syllable is. “Charles” might be one syllable in French (“Charl”) but’s in English, it’s definitely two: “Char-uls.” Notice the two vowels separated by consonants?

It is still one syllable, reading specialist, even though RLS is a mouthful.

Do you think "snarls" is two syllables? What about "girls" and "curls"?

I’m not sure why you’re being so weirdly pushy about this when you’re wrong. “Girls” and “Charles” are two totally different words / pronunciations. Notice the difference between “ls” and “les”? Try clapping it out.

Usually those are nicknames and people would use Benjamin/Bennett, Zachary, Joseph so not one syllable names.

But they could. My friend named her son Zack. Not Zachary. Another friend named her son Sam, not Samuel. It IS possible to do.

DP. I think the other PP is kind of crazy but I was always taught Charles was one. Although I think it is perhaps local pronunciation? I think snarls above is a better comparable than girls. Some people say 'snarls' and some people say 'snar-als'. It has to do with how you say it. There is not a clear concensus

Possible, sure. It's possible to name your kids "LemonJello and OrangeJello" like that urban legend too. But just like that mom in the urban legend, your friends sound uneducated and clueless.

Naming your child Zack or Sam or Peggy is just like naming your child Lemonjello or Orangejello? Really?
