One syllable quirky names

This is very cliche but I fell in love with the name 'Love' from season 2 of You on Netflix. I wouldn't use this name but it made me realise that my favourite type of names are one syllable.

We love the name Grace but possibly as a middle name. Nothing else has really caught our attention, if you have any ideas please share them :) boy and girl names TIA

Not sure some people know what a syllable is.

Why are people suggesting two or three syllable names when the OP asked for one syllable names?!

LOVE the names

  • Storm
  • Wolf

I'm having a girl but if I was having a boy I probably would of really pushed for the name "Wolf" (as OH wasn't keen). Storm is a name I also love but only heard of it recently & we have chose our little girls name and already bought personalised things for her. So it's definitely sticking. If we had another little girl, Storm would probably be up there in my top 5.

There were six of my name in my school year. I longed for an unusual name. People took the piss and said my name was common!

Please dont give your child a quirky name they will have a bad time at school and will hate you for

Another one here who appreciates a memorable name and not being called Olivia or Oliver!

Our school has lots of interesting and unusual names, from lots of cultures, and everyone is very open minded. I wonder where you live?!

RougeVinEtFromage · 12/02/2020 14:28

Ps I love 'Love'

RougeVinEtFromage · 12/02/2020 14:27

Nomorepolictics - I never had a bad time at school and appreciate not being called Olivia/Hannah etc.
