As I’ve got older, short and sweet names have overtake my love for the long and flamboyant.
Rory, Max, Gus, Kate, Gwen, Ada… I love them. Young or old, they work and there’s a realism about them too, which, I think, is also part of their endearment.
I’d love if you could throw some of your petite pretties at me to add to my collection. One or two syllables, and four or five letters, at most, please.
Many thanks x
This is some of my fav short names [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], Roxy/Roxie, [name_f]Io[/name_f], Moxy/Moxie and [name_u]Free[/name_u]. I like [name_f]Kate[/name_f] also but you alredy has that. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] you like the names✨.
