22 short (but very sweet) one-syllable baby names that we adore

Looking for some inspiration?

Settling on a name for your little one can be tough.

After all, you want it to be something unique to your little one. But not so unique that they end up spelling it out for the rest of their lives.

But, also, you don’t want it to be so common that they will end up sharing a name with half of their classmates when they reach school-age.

For years, parents have been getting more and more creative when it comes to naming their children.

Their favourite Marvel movies; TV shows; seasons; foods and hobbies have all been scoured in an effort to find that perfect moniker for their little one.

Sometimes, though, there’s nothing quite like the classics – right, mama?

There are the vintage monikers that are making a huge comeback, as well as the more nostalgia-inducing names.

And then there’s the simple, elegant and totally charming one-syllable monikers

Proving that sometimes the best things in life really do come in small packages, here are 22 of our favourite one-syllable baby names.
