We love these adorable three letter baby names.
There is so much pressure on parents when it comes to choosing a name. Firstly you have to figure out if you want something trendy, traditional, or totally unique, then both parents have to agree and most of all it's first things people learn about your child and will be a part of her or him for the rest of her life. Sounds scary, doesn't it?
I once named a child four different names until we eventually settled and most importantly agreed on her name and I've no regrets. Take your time, make lists and say them out loud. Today we've compiled a list of some of our favourite three-letter baby names for both boys and girls.
