View Full Version : Baby name starts with 'C'
Hi - I wanted to get some opinions on choosing a baby's name.
My two kids both start with C - Courtney and Christian. Now that baby #3 is on the way, how important is it to have another C name? Will baby feel left out if his/her name starts with a different letter? Will it be hard to call them all if they do all start with C? Is this just a silly question?
Any suggestions/comments will be appreciated. What do you think of Casey/Kasey for a boy or a girl? :confused:

My aunty had a similar thing in that she named her first two kids with "L" names and when she got to the 3rd she had trouble thinking of another "L" name but wanted to have another l name so the 3rd child did not feel left out.
I dont really think that a chils would feel left out though. Having said that, my mum has a different middle nema to all the other girls in her family and used to feel a bit left out because of it.
There are some lovely C names around though, and I really like the names coutney and Christian - they are really nice

I have a similar predicatment (sp) both of my children were born on the 23rd of a month my husband on th 13th of the 3rd and me on the 3rd so we worry that this bub will feel left out if not born in a 3. I am due on the 1/3/06 so hopefully I will go over 2 days to the 3/3 .
Anyway back to you there are some nice c names around so I dont think it will sound funny here are some xc names I like
Curtis Chloe
Carter Claire
cooper Cienna
Cambell Cody
Hope that helps
Go the C names! My DS's name is Conan, and I love Caiden and Carys for a girl.
I don't think it's silly to name all your kids with a C name. Courtney and Christian are such different sounding names when you say them that it doesn't matter that they both start with a C.
Good Luck!
Thanks for all the replies so far.
Your suggestions of C names are great - some I had not even considered yet. And I thought we were going to be really restricted when it came to choosing.
Will have to have another discussion with the other half as I'm not really sure how he feels about it!

Hey. I've never really thought about naming my kids with the same letter, i guess because the names i like all have different starting letters! hehe.
But one of my neighbours' family was full of C's! The husband and wife were Craig and Christine and they had 6 children! 5 girls - Carrissa, Crystal, Courtney, Carla and Chantelle their last was a boy and they named him Caleb. What i found rather perculiar was that their street was Corina Close, their dog's name was Chassidy and the children have so far attened four different schools!! which all start with a C!! This family is very Catholic, and have always been to church. So is this perhaps why they all choose to start everything with a C do you think :-S ?? Christian, Catholic, Church and Christ? Their last name starts with a H.... CHrist, CHristian, CHurch hehe how odd.
But more to the point!....Names i like starting with a C would be Carla, Claire, Caitlin, Chloe and for a boy Cody, Curtis and Caleb.
Good luck with whatever you decide :) :) :)
Charli for a girl, or Charlie for a boy.
I think you should definately at least look at 'c' names first, but if you don't like any I'm sure the baby won't gro up abnormal because its name is different to brother and sisters LOL.
How about Cara, Carrie, Chris, Caitlin, Connor, (of course)- what are you having a boy or girl? Casey is a nice name.
Polony- i love the name Layla!
Our family seems to have a thing for the letter B!
We have Bryony, Brittany, Brett, and Bella. Since then we have all tried so incredibly hard to vary the letters and have ended up with ... Dion, Daniel, Jessie, Emily, Sharni and Larissa! (and Nikki and Sam, my 2 lo's waiting in heaven!)
There are some beautiful "C" names out there ... I don't think I can add any to the other lists.
Did you know that Casey means brave? I love this name and it's meaning!
How about Clarissa, Camilla, Camille, Christa, Candence, Carlin
For boys Cooper, Cade,
Some girls names off the top of my head...
Candice, Chandra, Cindy, Cayenne, Chelsea, Charmaine, Christeah, Coralie...
Got brain freeze on the boys names!
How could I forget my favourite one of all....
Chanel
ooh thought of more boys names. Carter, Chad and Corey :D
I like....
Boys...
Cameron , Caleb, Chris (Christopher) , conner
Girls...
Caydence , Chantelle, Chelsea, Carmen , Christina, Charmaine

I have friends that are older and the sisters are all J's. They are quite embarrased and say "don't know what mum was thinking".
Just thought I'd add a different view since everyone thinks it's a great idea.
Not something I would do but plenty of people do it. Our neighbours are Jess Jason and Jacob.

All the women in my immediate family are S's, my mums an S , both my sisters are S's, I'm an S and my sis is expecting a baby girl (my other sis and I both have boys so no S's there) and shes going to call her, wait for it......Scarlet so the S lives on into the next generation :eek: personally I hated it growing up as mum and dad would go through all the names before getting to mine eg "come here sha... sa I mean Sarah" :p but now I think its kinda cute :D
Hi there!
If you want to keep the same "C" thing going with the names, why not try a different sound instead to break it up a little? Your kids names have a "K" sound so why not try a "CH" sounding C, like CHELSEA or CHARLIE? Or maybe even an "S" sounding C like CELESTE or CIAN (sorry! I had to search a couple of books to find a boys name!!)
Just another thing, I know a family who have 3 girls all with names starting with "A" & even though it's never been a problem for them, it first made me wonder if they just never made it past "A" in the baby name books!
Doesnt really affect me but one thing you do have to take into consideration in the long term is that if you have two of the same sex with the same initials mail will be very confusing!! my fiance is steven and his brother scott and once they started getting mail it was kind of a privacy thing cos it would be addressed to Mr S Gibbons so they were constantly opening each others mail and they also had another brother that is Paul and he didnt feel left out at all. i think if anything he maybe felt different in a good way, that he didnt have that confusion!!
Wow!
Everyone has been so thoughtful and helpful. Thanks so much.
I didn't consider the mail thing, but that could be a problem!
Interesting and thanx to all for your posts.
Sal
oh boy the mail thing !!
My bro is a T and so am i and when we were at home often mail would be addressed to T.Vanderhorst (no mr or miss) and we would often be opening each others mail it was AWFUL !!
the third in my clan (me and two bros) is not a T name but an R and we never even thought anything of it.....
Good luck with your name choosing :)

Hi Sal,
Yes I think you should stick with another C. It sounds better and no one feels left out.
I'm also in the process of picking names for a girl, I have a few favourites that start with C, Chelsea, Chantal, Charnae and Cyanna.
Good Luck!
Regards
Eslay
