Conclusion
The name you choose doesn't need to explain everything - it just has to feel right when you say it out loud. A little rhythm, a little warmth, something that fits on a window and still makes sense at 7 a.m. before coffee. Whether you leaned into something poetic, playful, or pared-back, the best names usually come from instinct. Let it sit for a day. Picture it on a to-go cup. Imagine someone recommending it to a friend. If it still makes you smile, you’re probably close.
