Re: Four letter names becoming three letter names
I think maybe it's just a coincidence that they both started at the same time, and it's an illusion that they're in a similar style. I wouldn't put both those in the same category. Right now I think it's in fashion to use simple short names, though, and maybe simpler and shorter seems more appealing to people. There are a few names I prefer with minimal letters - like Lia, Alys, Zara, Dylan rather than Leah, Alice, Zahra, Dillon.- mirfak

Ah, think of the growing popularity of Rhys too... when I was younger Reese and Reece were far more common. I am glad to see that a lot of the shorter versions are legit too.
We got flack for liking Farah or Farrah... but technically Farrah is the variation. Same thing with Nichole vs Nicole, etc.
