Giving bub a name that’s super sweet while short and sharp is a balancing act, using just the right amount of syllables with a unique spark.
We ask our Mum’s Grapevine community to reveal their most-loved short and sweet baby names, and they came to the party with hundreds of suggestions. We’ve whittled them down to our favourites, from cute monikers like Bea and Cleo to classics with a modern twist like Finn and Jude.
