10. Huh?
Only one of those has one syllable! Buddha and Bono have two. Dubya has three! If you pronounce it properly, that is.

4. LOL!! I Actually Thought About Starting The Poll With "Two"...
... but I figured that someone would rush to the defense of Cher and Prince and scold me for not be very progressive and being bigoted against people who only have one syllable in their name.

22. Right on!
Before I married I had three letters in each syllable. I liked the symmetry. Now I have four letters in the last syllable, and it bothered me for years.

14. I have four in my maiden name
and I think anyone with less is saying "Look! I am a Dumb Shit!" And if they have THREE syllables in their username on DU? "I'm a TOTAL dumbshit!" ;)

15. This name goes up to Eleven!
My first name and my two (!) middle names have three syllables each. My last name has two.

Yes, I am partly of Latina heritage, why do you ask? :D
