Sometimes, less really is more.

Like in the case of these short, but oh-so fab baby names.

And if you are still on the fence – there are a ton of benefits to having a short name – for instance, your child will probably have less issues with mispronunciations or people needing them to spell out their name over and over again.

Another bonus? There is a lesser chance of their future friends coming up with some horrible short-version of their actual name once they reach teen-hood.
