      Dutch short form of Bonifaas or Servaas

      The Dutch love using short forms as full names, and so the popular name here is Faas -- who knows or cares what it was originally short for. In the US, this would be a very original name indeed -- it doesn't show up at all on the Social Security records. Pronunciation is like fast with the t at the end.

            English word name
          • Description:

            After daughters named Gravity Blue and Rumble Honey, we had a lot of expectations for the name of Lucky Blue Smith's third child. Luckily, he didn't disappoint when he named his son Slim Easy in 2022. The full name has been criticized, with commenters saying it sounds like a diuretic tea or diet pill. And we agree that the combination is too much. But in isolation, Easy has potential. With a carefree aura and accessible sound, Easy may be a celebrity baby name we grow to love.
