Short and Sweet 4-Letter Baby Names
Some baby names are long and some baby names are short. If you’re on the hunt for a moniker that’s not so much of a mouthful, check out these short and sweet 4-letter baby names below:
Beau
Of French origin, this baby name means beautiful and handsome. It also has a bit of a rustic feel and has long been used as a term of endearment to describe an admirer.
Cash
This 4-letter baby name is of English origin and directly translates to “Maker of Chests”. It could also make for a cute nickname for Cashmere, a beloved unisex name by parents.
Esme
This lovely name comes from the Old French verb esmer, which means “to esteem” or “esteemed”. Esme has also been used as nickname for Esmeralda, which means emerald.
Ezra
Ezra means “help” or “helper” in the Hebrew language and could make for the perfect 4-letter name for your soon-to-be little helper.
