Sometimes short and to the point is what you need in a name. I decided to make this post as a follow-up to my popular post of short baby girl names. This list is for parents looking for either a short baby boy name to use as a first or a middle name.
There is no wrong way to name your baby, and longer names are great for many families. I tried to stick with one or two syllable names for this list to keep them consistent.
Some of the names are great as the short version, or can be used as a nickname for longer names. For example, you’ll find the name Leo on this list, which is great alone or short for Leonard or Leonardo.
Enjoy the list! I hope you find some naming inspiration.

I found it much easier to find shorter boy names! I was only able to find 60 names for girls, but the boy names I was much more selective about and still got 82!
I love Noah and Reid from this list. Which are your favorites? I’d love to know below!
Did I miss any big ones?
