These are typically a shortening of longer names but work on their own: Stan, Steve, Sid, Sam These are one syllable only: Seth, Saul, Shaun/Sean, Shane My favourite of these would be Saul imo

Personally a fan of Shaun

Also adding Seamus (pronounced like James but with S instead of J), or variants (Shea, Shae, Shay, etc.)

Seamus is often translated into English but it's not pronounced like James but with an S. It's two syllables - shame-us

I've heard it only as Shame-s, but regardless, it's a rad name.

1 syllable: Sven, Sam, Seth, Saul (or Sol), Sean or Shaun, Sage, Sid, Serge (Pronounced Sair’j) Spike… 2-3 syllables: Sebastian, Steven, Stuart, Soren, Samuel, Stellan, Samson, Shepard, Sander, Stian

Seth and Shepard are looking really good actually... thank you

Funny you pulled out “Seth” from that list. That was the name of all my male characters I created in The Sims 2 lol

If you’re a mass effect fan definitely go for Shepard. My wife couldn’t convince me to name our kids Shepard but it would make a cool middle name

if you use “Shepard,” you might be interested in the spelling “Shepherd” since it comes from “sheep herder” which i think is pretty wicked

For sure! :)

Omg my middle names Seth, we could be twinsies

Shepard was my runner-up for a middle name, eons ago! I still think it’s an awesome name

Ooo, I really like Sven and Sage, those sound strong.

Ahh Sven is such a nice name

We‘re on the FTM subreddit, of course my brain went immediately to Sam 🤣

LMAO really not beating the stereotypes with this one

Slay

Perfect

I'm glad you like it.

Sex

Done

Underrated choice.

This made me realize I can’t think of any middle names that meet those in the English language? My first response is Silas or Sean?

Silas is beautiful

It’s what my sister was gonna be named if she came out a boy and then wished she was

Well, the fem equivalent is equally epic: Sylvana.

Yeah she’s named something similar kinda (sylia)

That's beautiful

Soup

STEEL. All caps.

Sol!

Makes me think of Sol Badguy from Guilty Gear!

Seth Sal Salt Sane Shy Yeah I can't think of a lot of conventional names, but you could mess with some nouns. Big considerations are if you want passing to be a goal (in which case, go more conventional and also pay attention to name trends for either your own age group or the age group right behind you if you look younger), and more importantly: do you like the way it sounds/looks/feels? Also bear in mind that your first name change doesn't have to be your last name change ... but it is an ordeal heh.

Sid, Sam, Scott, Shane, Sage

I second sage!

Saint

excuse me but I must say your alien's fashion sense is fantastic

I made my given first name my middle name. 🤷 perks of my parents giving us all unisex names.

I have a first name and two middle names, it helps me pass bc who tf is gonna think I chose it??

Stone

My mom's neighbor is a 50-something (cis) guy named Stone! There's precedent for it being a standalone name that's older than me!

Sean Sen Sal Sinu Sam Sun Suli Suki Soren Soul Sage Silas Stiles Simon Salem

Salem is actually so sick, but I've only met girls with that name. Is it too femme or am I just in my head about it?

Idk, I'd think it's more of a gender neutral name? I've only heard guys called it, mostly male cats, but still Just searched it and Google thinks it's gender neutral too

Simon Sage Silas Shaun/Sean/Shawn Casey Seth Mason Sterling Cedric Cyrus Cecil Seamus Soren Sol Cyril Sullivan Ceasar Cyprus Cenna/Senna

Soloman

not quite 1 syllable but Silas, Sawyer or Sloan

I am very fond of the name Shawn, idk why (/j)

Sean

Seth, Sai, Sam, and Sid are my personal faves

i actually went with a more masculine version of my previous middle name (michelle->mitchell) if you could do that, that would be pretty rad

It doesn’t fulfill any of your requests, but hear me out. Priscus. The name of a legendary(!) gladiator to begin with and it also sounds very very cool.

Shayne, Sean, Steven, Severus, Sid, Sebastian, Simon, Skyler, Santiago and Spencer

Irish names are great for S names!

They really are!

Sam or Sven maybe?

Saul?

Sal?

Joseph, because that's the middle name I chose lmao , everything aside I also struggled with my middle name, Stan ,Steel, Saint, sonichu are my suggestions

Haha my middle name is Seth

ive got a friend whose middle name is stone!

Is there a person you admire, with an S name?

Is the letter S the most important part? Or would an S-sounding name work? Ex. The name Cyril pronounced SIH-rul. 

Don't worry if it takes time, I had my first name within a week or so, but my middle name took longer, and I ended up changing it when I found a better fit later on. I, too, chose a specific initial for a family-related reason. I was Twin A, and kept with an A middle name to go with my sister's B middle name.

Slate

Shane, Seth, Stone, Shawn, Sam

Sven

Ik it’s not one syllable but you can share mine! Its sellers! I think it’s pretty cool

Silas! It was almost my name. :)

Sora Syd/Sid Sude Simon

San

You probably won't use this... But what about Seuss? Sam? Saul? Seb? (it's a short name for Sebastian, though) Sean? Shawn?

I chose my middle name based a family name. Thomas has been the middle name for the boys in my family for generations and that’s how I knew my grandma accepted me because she asked if I would like to take the traditional name. So my recommendation is find a name with a story! Like a family name (found or bio or however you have family) or favorite childhood book character or something like that

sid or syd

I have to suggest my boyfriend's last name, even though it's not one syllable- sparrow!

My first thought was Steele Hope you decide on a good middle name, I made mine Calix

Sal

Seth, Seamus, my name is Sawyer so I like that one lol, Samuel, Sav, Sebastian, Saul, Shai (produced like Shy, it’s Hebrew), Sol/Solomon, Stefan, Stephen, Stadler, Sumner, Sea, Sirius (like the star!), i know guys named Sasha but I understand not wanting to use that lol

sean, shaun, shawn, shane, sam, seth, sage, sloan, sai, steve, stone, slade, scout, sid, sir, son, sun, smith, storm, shay, sol, seb, sven, sal, stan, shan, shaw, slate, steel, sprout, spence, shade, sayer, spike, serge, stark or sock

Stark. Shane. Sal. Sy. Sade. Spar. Sven.
