A single syllable first name could be a common nickname for a multi-syllable name. For example, Mike for Michael, Dave for David, Bill for William, etc. Or if you never want to be called by a nickname, you could choose a short name that doesn't have a nickname, such as Mark.

If you want to be anonymous on the web, picking both a common first and last name would make you very hard to find.
