Short and sweet boys name
I need a short (one or two syllable) name to go with a three syllable last name. My husband's favourite is Max and mine is Leo, but I feel that both of these are too popular and trendy at the moment. Any ideas?

I like Max and Leo. They're popular, yes, (Leo more so, I would say, with Max being a bit more timeless) but popular doesn't always mean super trendy or that they won't age well or will seem stuck in a certain time period. Without knowing your last name for the flow of it, I'd vote for Max.Other short-n-sweets you could try out (some more currently popular, some more classic, some not as widely used in general, and some like Max & Leo that are "nickhames as first names") in no particular order:Seth

Graham
Abel
Adam
Alden

Rowan
Asher

I don't think Leo is too popular right now. Max is cute, but definitely a trendy one. Good luck!!
