Long names are elegant and lovely sounding: Jennifer, Alexandra, Juileanna - the way they look and the way they sound give off this certain je ne sais quoi.
But when your little one is just born it can be hard to fathom them with a name that can seem WAY too long for them.
But if you are looking for a name that your little one WON'T have to grow into, doesn't mean you have to sacrifice on any of the above.
In fact, in their own gloriously, beautiful way, names with only a few letters can actually make just as good an impression as longer ones.
