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

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

My DS is called Jake, he only really gets called Jakey as a nickname and that’s not often. I’d say Rose is a nice name that you can’t shorten. Or Anna/Anne

Yes I also believe that Kate sounds very whole on its own. Jane is a nice classic too. Thanks everyone!

Kate. A few people think it's a diminutive of Katherine but not necessarily. I love it!
