There are some parents who choose names that are short in length because they don't want their child to suffer from the difficulty of spelling and writing odd
long names. Aside from that short names are easy to pronounce and to memorize or remember. Unfortunately there are only few good short names that we can choose from because most of them are use as nicknames.
But if you really insist to know at least one good but short name so that you can shortlist it in your best names list for your son, I'm very willing to help you out. Jim is among the shortest popular names that I know and it is actually a medieval pet form or nickname for the name James that is also a pet name for Jacob. Originally, it was us Americans who first use it as a nickname although if you're going to ask me the exact date, that I don't know. Amongst the famous users, or I'd rather say bearer are our
favorite sports stars like those in the filed of soccer, baseball, football and basketball.
In the Hollywood scene there are only two bearers of that name and one of them is Jim Broadbent Caine who won several acting awards for the blockbuster movies like Moulin Rouge, Iris and Gangs of New York with Leonardo Dicaprio and
Cameron Diaz. The other one is our favorite comedian, Jim Carrey, who made as laugh out loud with his magnificent performance in Ace Ventura, Liar, Liar, The Truman Show, Bruce Almighty, The Mask, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Fun with Dick and Jane.
