In before someone says “Colonel” But really, before even reading the post my first thought was “Calvin.” So there’s a second for that name.

Hahahaha my husband likes Colonel. I love love love the name Calvin and so does my husband. His parents think it’s too nerdy. Your son married a nerd is what I keep telling them.

The nickname Cal is so cool! I was a substitute teacher for a while and I had a Cal (short for Calvin) and he was the coolest dude.

I love hearing this. How could a fella named Cal not be cool, right?!

Fully agree!

Colonel? No way

I hope my husband is kidding but you really never know with him.

It is nerdy, but in a cool way. Also someone better not tell Cal Ripken that he’s a nerd. It was on my name list too at one point. Only drawback for me is the meaning, “bald.”

I really like Carmen! It is such a lovely name.  You could also go for Cara or Carly for a girl.  And maybe Christian or Caleb for a boy.  But both names you have listed are already so pretty! 

Thank you so much! Caleb is wonderful. Thats up there with Calvin for me now. Thank you so much.

Cordelia, Constance, Caroline, Corinne, Corina, Camille, Camilla, Clarice, Cora, Cleo or Clea Conrad, Cormac, Casper, Caius

Wow you know your names! Constance and Conrad are POWERFUL. I absolutely love those. Also Cormac. You’re good!!!

Thank you! Glad you like them! I forgot to add Clemency! Also, Clarity is a beautiful name!

Was just thinking how nice is Clarity!

That is so sweet! Thank you. I really like my name. Never been made fun of for it but a lot of people think my parents were hippies (I wish).

Youre welcome, Clarity! ❤️

Clemency is cool for a girl or boy! And thank you! If you search my name on this subreddit most people really hate it. 😅

Conrad! I'm a big fan. Old made new again.

My girl is Cadence

I love Cadence with Clarity as it’s a bit of a virtue/ honor name vibe.. Clemence or Clementine? Constance? ?  For a boy Cooper or Carson? Colton? 

I also have a Cadence. She recently told me she loves her name and it made me so happy!

Girl – Coco, Cassandra, Calla, Camilla, Chantal, Chloe, Cora. Boy – Connor, Callum, Cade, Cole, Crew, Colson, Cassian.

Cornelia and Carson are some of my favorites

These are both great! Thank you so much.

Calla, Cleo, Chloe, Claire, Calliope, Camilia, Crystal, Cora, Cova, Carolina, Cassidy, Catalina Cillian, Cameron, Cole — so many good ones shared already so I stopped working on mine 🤣 Congrats parents!

Boys: Caleb Casper Girls: Cassandra Catrin Caitlyn Charlotte Clara Claudia

Carter, Cason, Camden, Cruz, Calahan, Cameron, Cooper, Colton Camille, Collette, Cassidy, Cora, Clementine I feel like boys are easier to name

Love Cruz and Collette so much

♂️ Collin, Connor, Crewe ♀️Clara, Carla, Carlotta

Coleen. Cossette. Charity (kind of in between soft and hard). Colby. Colton. Candace. Clark. Cassiopeia nn Cassie 

Mom is named clarity so naming the kid charity would be odd

We named our daughter Cora this year. I love the name 🩷

I love Coralie.

Mine’s name is Cassidy. I love it. It’s not uncommon/unheard of but also not super trendy.

Callan, Cillian, Ciaran, Conrad Clara, Clarissa, Colleen, Carrie, Cora, Cordelia

chloe clara cara catalina charlotte caitlin calliope

Love Catalina and Chloe!! I had never thought of these somehow. Thank you.

Boys :Carson, colton, Collins, Cameron, caleb, Connor, cillian, Cohen, Clark, caspian, casper, Carl, Creed, cash, Cody Gender neutral:Casey, Cassidy, Charlie, chase, Chris Girls: Chloe , Claire, cora, coraline, Caroline, cressida, catriona, cosmia, cerise, Cleo, calliope, cosette

Please do not use the name Cohen. It's been discussed ad nauseum in this subreddit but basically, it's a Jewish title (not even really a name, except in modern times) that has tremendous cultural and religious significance.

Well I am Jewish…

I like Colton and Calliope.

Callie, Cassandra, Caroline, Calista, Coco, Cherry, Cordelia, Charlotte Cameron, Colby, Clinton, Colin, Carter, Charles, Crosby, Crockett, and if you really want to get adventurous, Chewbacca!

Carmen is beautiful and underrated IMO.

Just this week I named my second child Colin. Pretty partial to it.

I love Clara

Have to rep Casey. Works for any gender. 

Connor, Carter, Cameron, Collin Claire, Calista, Corrine, Cara

Clayton, Crew, Chace, Cole for boys Cleo, Cecelia (CC), Celeste, Camille for girls

I love Calvin, and I've been wishing I saw the name Carmen more. Other suggestions: Cassia, Cressida, Chloe, Camille, Calla, Clara Cillian, Clem, Caden, Callum, Cameron, Carter

Boys: Colin, Colton, Colby, Cassio, Callaghan, Camillo, Cade, Chandler, Charles, Christian, Cohen, Cormac, Crispin, Cullen, Chandler, Carmine Girls; Cosima, Cassidy, Camille | Camilla , Chelsea, Caitlyn, Capri, Carina, Carlotta, Carolina, Caterina, Cecilia, Chanel, Chantel, Charley, Christa, Coco, Colette, Courtney

Cosima is on the list now. I’m in love! Crispin is my husbands nickname haha.

I love Calvin Sanders stick to it

I love the name Charlie for a girl. Something that starts with a c but doesn’t have that “ka” sound would be less on the nose

I really like Charlie for a girl. Was also the name of my grandfather whom I never met, but was a great man.

Carter, Cleo, Camden, Carina, cash, Corey, Colton, Charlotte, Charlene I didn’t look if anyone had suggested these and I didn’t separate the boys from the girls. Sorry hahaha

How about Clark and Cadence?

Just commented elsewhere of the girl name Claudine. Also suggest the Welsh girl name Carys (pronounced care-iss). Boy hard-C name: Clark (it's a double hard CK sound)

Christine, Claire, Cara. Cashton, Colton, Connor.

Callum is a great one with also nn Cal! I also like Cole, Camden, Colby, and Clark for boys. For girls I love Calista and Cosette

Carmen so rarely comes up! I think you have 2 winning names already

Conor Cora Ciara Cara Clara Cormack Christian

* Catherine, Claudia, Cleo, Clara, Claire, Camille, Cora, Caroline, Cordelia, Clementine, Chiara, Cara * Casper, Casimir, Conrad, Connor, Carlo, Caleb, Cillian, Cassius, Calvin, Callum, Cian

Clarissa Clementine Cordelia Carina Claudia Constance

I know you didn’t ask, but: I would strongly advise you not to do the whole C thing. It might be fine for this baby (although honestly I still find it quite odd to theme family names like this) but if you end up having more kids you are massively limiting the names you can choose. I know a family of nine all with S names and by the end they were scraping the barrel 😂

I know a family of 6 with all S names too. I don’t think it’s cute lol

Hahahahaha well we are only having one because we are really old to be starting a family but I see your point.

constance/connie

Carmen is so beautiful. I also like Camille.

I've recently started loving the name Claude for a boy. And Corinne for a girl (although I think Carmen is beautiful!).

Caspian for a boy; Cerelia for a girl Caspian Sanders Cerelia Sanders Winner, winner chicken dinner? 😁

Love Caspian

Carson, Carlton, Connor, and Cameron for boys Cassidy, Cassandra, Ciara, and Carys for girls

Love Carlton!!! That’s going on the list for sure.

Girl names: Carol, Claire, Clara, Cassandra, Cassidy, Cassie (can be short for Cassandra or Cassidy, or can be an individual name). I don't really have any ideas for boy names, but others suggested nice options, and the name Cassidy also can be a boy name. Hope I helped :)

Corinne and Clemency Coleen and Colton Coltrane Craig Cadillac Caden Camden Collins Cornelius(Corey) Constance Constantine California Calico Calypso Crow Crane Catherine(Cathy) Cordelia Celia Celine

Mix your names: Charity.

Callum, Calhoun, Cullen for boy; Camila, Clara, Calliope for girl

Caleb and Conrad

My daughter is called Carmen so I’m biased and love the name. However, I think just be mindful of all having the same initial theme, I know a family of 6 that all have the same initials and I just think it’s a bit ridiculous.

I hear you on that! This little baby will be our one and only cause we are pretty old to be starting a family.

Clara

Calvin is great! I love Casimir, Casper and Carsten (a form of the name Christian). For a girl, Carmen is fantastic, and perhaps Catherine, Cora , Chloe and Camila are worth considering?

Carina!

First thing I thought of is “where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?”

Coretta 🤍 surprised to never see it on anyone’s lists. Lovely classic name and Coretta King was an incredible leader.

Camilla

Scrolled the list to see how often my son’s name popped up, only twice haha. My name on the other hand… holy smokes. Depending on your hobbies, Crash could be fitting.

I love ‘Cora’ for a girl!

Carl. That’s my brother’s name and I love it.

Sad about Cecilia, it’s one of my favourites but understand why it wouldn’t work here :( I love Carmen. Cordelia and Carmelita are also along the same lines :))

Met a little girl today named Cora, it suited her so well ! Love this name

I LOVE Calvin! Clark, Cove, Carter, Craig, Caleb, Connor Cora, Clara, Calliope, Claire, Cosette, Collette

Cameron can go either way. Camilla, Calle, Corinne for girls. Calvin was one of our top picks for a boy. Such a strong classic name. We liked nn Cal a lot too.

Camden

Cassius - cash for short! Every cash I know (only two) is so cool and kind!

Go with the names you have

Clementine

Clara

Corinne Carson

Cameron, Carson, Colton, Cassidy, Chloe, Carter, Camille, Caroline, Casey, Capri, Campbell, Cole

Clelia

Calvin is one of those names that I’ll never understand how people like it. I think it’s *awful* and always cry a little inside when people say they’re naming their kid that. So many other wonderful C names out there; such a shame to end up with Calvin.

Cameron Cassie Callie Cassidy Cassandra Chloe Cleo Carter Cooper Caden Covington Charley/charles

For boys I love Caspian. I have a Calvin and he goes by Cal mostly but we also call him Cal cal, Cal pal, Calvino. Somebody mentioned Christian which was also high on my list. For girls I love love love Collins but also Cara (car rah, not care uh), Cove, Clover

Doxxed yourself. Please delete this post for your safety

My girls have C names too, so I’m definitely partial to them. Girl: Chloe, Cassandra, Clarissa, Carly, Carina, Courtney, Cassidy, Carla, Corrine. Boys: Carson, Cameron, Caden, Colton, Cade, Camden.

Cassidy is one of the prettiest girl names I've ever heard. I also like Clementine.

Calvin and Carmen are great choices! Might I suggest: Caleb Callum Colin Cooper Conrad Casey (neutral) Cameron (neutral) Camille Cordelia Calliope Caroline Claire

Camellia Caroline Clara Claire Cora Carly Cara Camille Claudia Corbin Colby Cooper Camden Connor Cramer Callum Cord Cole

Claire - kind of a nod to/related to your own name.

Clementine, Claire, Cordelia, Catherine

Christian, Connor and Chloe for girl.
