True

True is one of the oldest adjectives in the English language — from the Old English treowe, faithful — turned into one of the newest names. It joined a small current class of declarative word-names: Honor, Brave, Bliss, Soul. Khloé Kardashian gave it to a daughter in 2018 and sent it into a much wider conversation; it now sits at 986, unisex and without apology.

There is nowhere to hide in a single syllable this plain. The name doubles as a compass bearing, a character reference, and an oath, all at once. Short names of this kind carry their meaning more nakedly than long ones — you can't soften True with a nickname or make it ironic without effort. It pairs well with ornate middle or last names that give it somewhere to breathe: True Evangeline, True Sebastien.
