Covey Name Ideas
As promised here is my list of Covey-inspired names.
I tried to follow the typical naming convention of the first part of the name being a traditional folk poem or ballad, but I did add some names that differed from the typical names, and still fit the covey vibes. Suggestions appreciated :)
I also posted a list of shades of colors in case some people needed it!
