Tempo
t(e)-mpo,
tem-po
Origin:Italian
Meaning:Time
From their grand entrance into the world to their very first smile, little Tempo will do everything at their own pace and timing. This masculine moniker is most recognizable as a musical term that describes the rate or speed at which a piece should be played. It ultimately stems from tempo, the Italian word for "time," so perhaps your Tempo will amaze everyone with the rhythm in their tippy toes! When you sing nursery rhymes to your tiny tot, don't be surprised if they want you to speed them up.
