Thinking about the name
Coy
French origin
“Derived from the Old French 'coi,' meaning quiet or shy, Coy captures a sense of modest charm and gentle restraint. Historically used for both genders, it gained prominence in the mid-20th century and conveys a playful, somewhat flirtatious quality. The name's brevity and directness make it feel contemporary and cool.”
