If you’re looking for four-letter names for girls, we’ve got the list “four” you! Four little letters can make one big statement; try these 4-letter favorites on for size. Need further proof that such a short name can make for one major personality? Well, let’s consider some women in history who’ve made four-letter names famous: Jane Goodall (primatologist), Lena Horne (singer and actress), Maya Angelou (poet/writer), Rosa Parks (activist), Zora Neale Hurston (author, anthropologist, filmmaker)… the list goes on!

Just because your kid’s name is made of up four letters does not mean that it packs any less punch. Mini names are just as mighty and the aforementioned names prove it. Apparently, short named girls have a knack for making history, which isn’t such a bad thing. But seriously, if you want to save your princess time and give her an easy kindergarten experience when it comes to spelling her name we have a bunch of options for you to choose from. Your child will thank you for the time saving title. You also won’t have to worry about the teacher or anyone else mispronouncing or misspelling her name because shorter names leave less room for typos. There is nothing more annoying than seeing your kiddo’s name spelled wrong.

Four letter names also come in handy if your child is looking for a catchy and cool way to brand or market herself for her business or social media platform. She’ll have way more options when it comes to creative branding with a name like Anna or Hope.
