I have to say, as I browse this listing of four syllable boy names, I can group a majority into one of two categories: Biblical names and names with a Southern European or Latin flair. While longer boy names aren't nearly as popular as shorter ones, for families looking for a longer, noble-sounding, or ethnic name, one of these suggestions just might be it. (Scroll down for name list).

Four Syllable Boy Names and Ending Sound

Most of the names end in a vowel sound, which adds to the additional syllable and also gives a hint to the country of origin (many names with Italian or Spanish roots end in -o). However, there are a few that end in a consonant sound: Alexander, Nathaniel, Maximilian, Maximiliano, Demetrius, Jamarion, and Leonidas.

Four Syllable Names for Boys, Alphabetically

Let me skip ahead for just one second. There are not many five and six syllable boy names currently making the Top 1000 Boy Names. The one five syllable name on the boys' list is Emiliano. And the longest name on both the boy and girl name lists is Maximiliano, a bit of a mouthful at 6 syllables. No other name on either chart is as long.

So using that listing of the 1000 most popular names, I pulled out all the 4 syllable names and listed them alphabetically, grouping names of similar pronunciation together.

Note: depending on where you live, you might pronounce some of these names with only 3 syllables. For example: I've heard Nathaniel pronounced both na-THAN-ee-el and na-THAN-yel. Just keep that in mind as you preuse the list. Here they are for your viewing pleasure.
