How many syllables are in your full formal name?
 

When you provide your full name (first, middle, last), how many syllables does it have?

Rules:

1. Consider your formal name as listed on your birth certificate. Don't use any informal nickname that you use. (E.g., Count Michael, not Mike. Christopher, not Chris, unless your birth certificate shows the short version.)
2. Include any and all middle names.
3. If you have a formal suffix like Junior or "the fourth", include those syllables.
4. Don't include honorifics that are not your official name. So don't include "Doctor" or "Pastor" or "Esquire" or that sort of thing.

I'm wondering if anyone can beat me on the short side. I have a first, middle, and last name, and they total only four syllables. My name is very efficient.

Poll coming as soon as I finish focus group testing on the question structure.

7

10

6 , 18 letters

4

7

three first name one middle name three last name

This

8... and no middle name.

This syllable lived near you?

6

I voted 8, but it's really 7. One of them is silent.

1? I always suspected Cher was a Chiefs fan.

I screwed up the poll option somehow.

But anyway, 6.

Names are a lot shorter than I suspected. I figured I was pretty unusual with a four syllable name.

I'm at:

1st name - two syllables.
Middle name - one syllable.
Last name - one syllable.

First name = 2
Middle name = 1
Last name = 3

Total = 6

My first and middle name is Anthony Joseph. Thank God for my mom saying no to my dad wanting to name me Antonio Pasquale Fabiano Giuseppe Luigi

I was a pale ass Ginger growing up, nothing about me looked Italian. My mom saved me, lmao!

Whats a syllable? :p

8 across first, middle, last, and suffix.

69

FIRST!!!!!

4 if I can use my formal name that is on my license, passport and social security card.

5 if I have to use my birth certificate.

2+2+2+2=8
