Congratulations! A child is on the way and will soon join your family. Now they will have to make one of the first big decisions as parents, since it will be something very important in the life of their child: choosing a name.
If you are looking for a name that is different from those that are in fashion, this list with 33 short and original boy names may be useful to you.
Short but strong names
Long names are usually distinguished and mostly classic names. However, short names have some advantages over them, starting with helping to balance the full name when you have very long last names.
Short names are usually easier to remember and learn, making them memorable. In addition, being short and having few consonants, they tend to give more weight and emphasis to the vowels, which makes them strong names, especially those of a child.
