Short first names: baby names with only 3 letters

Minimalism is the trend. A tidy life, whether at home, on the plate or in your career, reduces the view to the essentials and clears your mind.

This also applies to first names: names with just one syllable or a few letters convey clarity, strength and presence – especially in combination with longer surnames. We can therefore understand very well that minimalism has also entered the birth registers and that more and more babies are born with short, crisp names.
