About Fae

Magic exists in brevity, and this name proves it conclusively. Three letters containing entire worlds of enchantment and possibility. It's a name that whispers rather than shouts, that suggests mystery and wonder without needing elaborate explanation. Perfect for parents who appreciate the ethereal and fantastical, who want their daughter's name to carry a sense of otherworldliness. Yet it's not so unusual as to burden a child—it's pronounceable, spellable, memorable. The connection to fairy folklore gives it depth and imaginative richness. It's a name that seems to sparkle, that brings to mind moonlight and starshine, forest glades and hidden gardens. Despite its fantastical associations, it feels surprisingly wearable and practical. Short names have power; they're efficient and modern while this one maintains an almost Victorian romantic quality. It's both a nickname and a full name, offering completeness in minimal form.
