Four-letter names that aren't too nickname-y?

69 replies

Can anyone please recommend their favorite four-letter names? I've noticed that most of the names that I'm fond of are all pretty short, but I don't like names that people expect to be only an abbreviation or a nickname. If you guys have any favorites or thoughts, please tell! Flowers
