Fun, one-syllable "word" middles (i.e. Moon, Wren, Sage)

I read that a little girl had been named [name]Isla[/name] [name]Moon[/name] (I think it was on here, can’t be sure though) and just thought it was the most precious thing ever. I’m now trying to put together a list of other fun, one syllable “word” middles. This is what I have off of the top of my head:

[name]Moon[/name]
[name]Wren[/name]
[name]Lark[/name]
[name]Sage[/name]
[name]Frost[/name]
[name]Sky[/name]
[name]Rain[/name]

Those happen to be nature-y, but it definitely isn’t limited to that! So, which ones do you know? Any that you love?

And sarahdoodle, I don’t blame you for your two-syllable suggestions, they were so cute! I especially loved [name]Fable[/name], [name]Story[/name], [name]Sunny[/name] and (probably guilty-pleasure status) Faerie!

What about:

[name]Rae[/name]
[name]Mae[/name]
[name]Elle[/name]
[name]June[/name]
[name]Vic[/name]
[name]Fin[/name]
[name]Jin[/name]
[name]Zan[/name]

I haven’t seen Psalm or [name]Praise[/name] mentioned yet. I like both.

I also like:

Girls
[name]Dove[/name]
[name]Blythe[/name]
[name]Clare[/name]
[name]Faith[/name]
[name]Fern[/name]
[name]Rain[/name]
[name]Jade[/name]
[name]Jewel[/name]
[name]Rue[/name]

and

Boys
[name]Pike[/name]
[name]Wolf[/name]
[name]Clay[/name]
[name]Heath[/name]
[name]Hale[/name]
[name]Grant[/name]
[name]Gage[/name]

I can think of a lot more word names, and a lot more one-syllable names, but not many more one-syllable word names!

[name]Leslie[/name], I think [name]Fin[/name] with one ‘n’ like the word is very cute! I’ve seen [name]Finn[/name] around a lot, and like the sound. Unfortunately if the intention was a fun word middle-name, most people would just think it was a respelling of [name]Finn[/name], and not like the word. :confused: What is [name]Jin[/name] from? It’s kinda neat.

stripedsocks, [name]Pike[/name] is kinda cool! It reminds me of the original [name]Buffy[/name] movie, though, which I wouldn’t consider to be good associations (probably because [name]Buffy[/name] is my favorite TV show and I think the movie is an insult to greatness). That is my issue, though :stuck_out_tongue: [name]Gage[/name] is growing on me, and [name]Rue[/name] is adorable!

I know I’m dredging up an old thread here, but I couldn’t resist! I’m in love with word name middles, and most of the ones on my list are actually one syllable: [name_f]Fawn[/name_f], [name_f]Wren[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], and [name_m]Wolf[/name_m], as well as [name_u]North[/name_u] and [name_u]Frost[/name_u] who have been tossed around for [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]. These are just a few from my long list of favorite word names!
