A young deer
Derived from the Middle English and Old French word 'faon', which originally referred to the young of any animal but eventually became specific to deer. It evokes a sense of gentleness and connection to the natural world. While it gained some popularity in the mid-20th century, it remains a rare and distinctive choice today.
