Congratulations! A child is coming and will soon be integrated into your family. Now they must make one of the first big decisions as parents, as it will be something very important in their child's life: choosing a name.
If you are looking for a name that is different from the ones that are in fashion, you may find this list useful with 33 short and original child names.
Short but strong names
Long names are usually distinguished and mostly classic names. However, short names have some advantages over them, starting because they help balance the full name when you have very long last names.
Short names are usually easier to remember and learn, making them memorable. In addition, being short and having few consonants, they usually give greater weight and emphasis to the vowels, which makes them strong names, especially those of children.
