Many of my friends have subscribed to the four letter rule for their kids - both boys and girls.
Here are the families I know:
[name]Kate[/name], [name]Emma[/name], [name]Lily[/name] (I know 2 families with this EXACT sibset)
[name]Abby[/name], [name]Emma[/name], [name]Lily[/name] and [name]Faye[/name]
[name]Jack[/name], [name]Abby[/name], [name]Kate[/name] and [name]Ryan[/name]
[name]Jake[/name], [name]Josh[/name], [name]Luke[/name]
[name]Mark[/name] and [name]Paul[/name]
[name]Sofi[/name] and [name]Axel[/name]
[name]Liam[/name] and [name]Roan[/name]
What are the other four letter names you can think of?

I am a fan of short and simple thus [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Claire[/name] but why do people want a 4 letter name specifically?
Not sure why but I know another set I forgot to mention: [name]Jake[/name], [name]Ryan[/name] (did they SEE 16 Candles?!), [name]Tate[/name] and [name]Nell[/name].
There are many out there (thanks to all the effort) but everyone seems to keep going to [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Ryan[/name]! [name]One[/name] of my friends was even so specific that the first name be 4 letters and the middle be 5. SO limiting!!
Isirapjl - No disrespect to the mention of [name]Jack[/name]. GREAT name. I know a [name]Caroline[/name] with a [name]Jack[/name] and it is a great sibset. Good luck!!
If I had a multiple birth more than twins then I would probably go for the four letter rule ust to keep things simple. I like:
[name]Skye[/name]
[name]Nola[/name]
[name]Wren[/name]
[name]Mila[/name]
[name]Emmy[/name]
[name]Inka[/name]
[name]Etta[/name]
5 letters:
[name]Calla[/name]
[name]Lotta[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Flora[/name]
[name]Maple[/name]
I have second cousins with a three letter sibset - [name]Jed[/name], Mem and [name]Kip[/name].
Maybe some people feel that four letter names just look the bast with their last name? Or easier for your children to learn, easier for others to pronounce, easier for others to pronounce or spell? Not a rule I feel I had to use, but I can see it would have it’s benefits.
Some more good ones (sorry if there happens to be any repeats)
