This list is a compilation of the shortest names (2 letter and 3 letter) names recorded in the 2016 England and Wales data, the 2017 Scotland data and the 2017 Northern Ireland data.
The names come from a wide range of cultures: Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew, Vietnamese, Turkish, as well as indigenous Welsh names and "English" diminutives.
Curiously, a few one letter names were recorded, but these could be administrative errors. A, C, L, J, S and T are recorded for boys and M is recorded for girls.
