Rye

Rye is a short and sweet name with English roots, often associated with nature, as it means 'island meadow'. It has a rustic, yet charming feel, and can also evoke the imagery of golden fields of grain swaying in the wind. Rye might remind literary fans of 'The Catcher in the Rye', lending it a subtle intellectual edge. Despite its succinctness, Rye carries considerable weight and can stand strong on its own. It’s an uncommon name, making it a distinctive choice for parents looking to veer away from more mainstream options.
