One-syllable names have always been tough for me. They always sound like there needs to be something else there. They come off sounding like nicknames. Sure, there are one-syllable names I love, but when I tried pairing them with my last name (which has 2 syllables) I always felt like the name was lacking something. But one-syllable names can be great. If you're a person who doesn't like nicknames and doesn't want your child called anything except the name you gave them, this could be a great option. Also, if you have a very LONG last name, this could keep your child from having to learn a 22-letter first and last name combo in Kindergarten (that must be torture). So today I'm paying homage to the one-syllable names. Here are a few faves:
ANNE (French) Grace
ASH (English) Ash tree
CLAIRE (French) Bright
COLE (English) Swarthy, coal black
FAITH (Virtue name)
FINN (Irish) Bright, fair
JETT (Mineral name)
JOY (Word name)
LUKE (Greek) Light
LUX (Latin) Bright
MAY (Greek) Pearl
PIERCE (English) Son of Piers
REESE (Welsh) Fiery, zealous
SETH (Hebrew) Appointed, placed
TESS (English) To reap, to gather
VAUGHN (Welsh) Small
