Does a two-syllable name fit with two short one-syllable names?

We've found a nice boy's name after searching for a long time.
It's a two-syllable name, our other two kids have one-syllable names. I'd like to know your thoughts. Do you think they go well together? Or do you think a short one-syllable name fits better?
Looking forward to your opinions....:-)

    Doesn't matter, does it? Ours have completely different names. One is a really cool, hip name, and for our second we chose a longer, more classic name. Just because it felt right.
    I think that's the most important thing too. That the name feels right.

    Good luck!

    Thanks for your reply. Maybe it's just a matter of getting used to it. We like short names, but the short names that are left are already common in our circle, seem too similar to other names, or we just don't find them pretty :-)

    We went for a different name for the third one. Personally (though that doesn't have to apply to you!), we got a bit of a "quick, quick, quack" feeling with three short names, so we went in a completely different direction. It turned out to be Jolein. Not exactly long either, but not Kim, you know.

    Anyone else have any nice ideas for a Dutch two-syllable boy's name?
