Baby Girl Names: Short and sweet
Baby girl names have been trending toward the long and elaborate for some time now, with selections like Isabella and Elizabeth, Olivia and Sophia winning out over the kind of brisk no-nonsense names — Anne, Gail, Lynn — that dominated a couple of generations ago.
But there are some popular names that are short and sweet. I’m thinking of Emma, Ava, Mia, Ella. And some parents are starting to feel this simple style carries a more modern brand of femininity.
You might want a short, sweet name for your daughter’s middle. Or maybe you want a short and sweet first name to balance a longer or more complicated last name.
How short is short? We’re going to cap it at four letters.
