I think we will use [name]Claire[/name] for a future daughter, although the middle name is still up for debate. In case of more than one girl, I’d like some opinions on names that match [name]Claire[/name] in style. Our son’s name is [name]Cuyler[/name]. I’d like to continue the “c” theme or at least the “c” sound as in the word cat, so “k” names will work too. [name]Feel[/name] free to list non c names as well if you feel they go well with [name]Claire[/name] in style, as we are not dead set on continuing the theme. Here are a few I have thought of.
[name]Kensington[/name] (Kensi)
[name]Kate[/name]
[name]Cassia/Cassi[/name] - Not sure if any of these go with [name]Claire[/name]…thoughts?
I love the name [name]Claire[/name] – great choice!
[name]Kensington[/name] feels too long and formal as a sister to [name]Claire[/name].
For some reason [name]Kate[/name] and [name]Claire[/name] sound/feel too similar to me.
I think [name]Cassia[/name] and [name]Claire[/name] would be really cute together! I like the sound and it’s neat how the names include many of the same letters so they look well-matched in print.
I know it’s not a C-sounding name, but I think [name]Wren[/name] and [name]Claire[/name] would make a great sib-set! [name]Wren[/name] has the strong but feminine, pretty without being too frilly sound that I think is so great about [name]Claire[/name].
[name]Kate[/name]
[name]Katherine[/name]
[name]Corinne[/name]
[name]Kelsey[/name]
[name]Kiersten[/name]
[name]Christina[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Cassandra[/name] (I think it goes well with the others, and you could call her [name]Cassie[/name] if you wish)
Similar in style:
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Sophie[/name]
[name]Alexandra[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Ava[/name]
[name]Alyssa[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Cuyler[/name], [name]Claire[/name], and Catya ([name]Katya[/name])
[name]Cuyler[/name], [name]Claire[/name], and [name]Caris[/name]/[name]Carys[/name]
[name]Cuyler[/name], [name]Claire[/name], and [name]Cora[/name]
[name]Cuyler[/name], [name]Claire[/name], and [name]Christabelle[/name]
[name]Cuyler[/name], [name]Claire[/name], and [name]Carly[/name]
[name]Cuyler[/name], [name]Claire[/name], and [name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Cuyler[/name], [name]Claire[/name], and [name]Cassia[/name]
[name]Cuyler[/name], [name]Claire[/name], and [name]Carrie[/name]
[name]Kensington[/name] is a rancid neighbourhood in my hometown. Not a big fan.
Like [name]Kate[/name], but love [name]Catherine[/name] more. Or [name]Katya[/name].
[name]Cassia[/name] is nice.
Other C names:
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Calantha[/name]
[name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Caitlin[/name]
[name]Caoimhe[/name]
[name]Camellia[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]
Favourite K names
[name]Katya[/name]/[name]Katia[/name] (pronounced the same)
[name]Katharine[/name]
[name]Kezia[/name]
[name]Kelilah[/name]
[name]Kay[/name]
[name]Kathleen[/name]
What I would really do, though, if it were me (and I know its not and you can tell me to shut up and go away) is rather than matching the initial, I’d match to the smooth, sweet, short-little-name sound.
[name]Claire[/name] is so classic and pretty, feminine but not frilly, like a little black dress. I like it with:
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Blythe[/name]
[name]Eve[/name]
[name]Jade[/name]
[name]Faith[/name]
[name]Mae[/name]
[name]Grace[/name]
[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Fern[/name]
I did like the other names I suggested too but I think some of them have a very different feel than [name]Claire[/name] and some might drown it.
I love [name]Cassia[/name]! I think [name]Cuyler[/name], [name]Claire[/name], and [name]Cassia[/name] would be a perfect set. I think [name]Cassia[/name] perfectly blends the styles of [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Cuyler[/name].
Thanks for all the great suggestions and tips everyone! I think I am making our decision harder by adding more names to our list!
I like the suggestions of:
[name]Kiersten[/name](we had Kierstyn on our list for a long time but recently deleted it, and I had forgotten about it)
[name]Cassia[/name](is still a favorite)
[name]Camillia[/name]([name]Camille[/name] I like a lot too but we are probably going to use cameron for another boy, too similar maybe)
[name]Cassandra[/name]
[name]Corinne[/name]( I like, hubby doesn’t
[name]Caroline[/name] - I think I like [name]Carolina[/name] (pronounced [name]Caroleena[/name]. Would the spelling need to be different to get that pronunciation?)
I also like [name]Cassidy[/name]( I know people either like it or hate )
[name]Kristine[/name]/[name]Christine[/name] (don’t like nicknames associated with this name)
Other names on our list:
[name]Alivia[/name]
[name]Alaina[/name]
[name]Madelyn[/name]
Caliece
[name]Julia[/name]
[name]Kensington[/name] is too out of place, imo.
[name]Kate[/name] is a bit too close to [name]Claire[/name].
[name]Cassia[/name] doesn’t match with [name]Claire[/name].
I like [name]Cassie[/name] and [name]Claire[/name], but [name]Cassie[/name] with the e on the end.
[name]Carly[/name], [name]Carmen[/name], [name]Colleen[/name], [name]Corrine[/name], [name]Carrie[/name], [name]Carina[/name].
I have a [name]Claire[/name] and am considering [name]Kate/name, [name]Caroline[/name] and [name]Keira[/name] for another girl. I think style wise a lot of the names pp suggested do not work with [name]Claire[/name] which as I see as a modern classic. I also like [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Celia[/name] for you. Good [name]Luck[/name], u cannot go wrong with [name]Claire[/name]!
[name]Cassia[/name] is cute and I think that’d go well with [name]Claire[/name]. [name]Kate[/name] seems a bit too match-y (though I love [name]Kate[/name]). [name]Kensington[/name] doesn’t sound as feminine as [name]Claire[/name], I don’t think it matches at all.
I think [name]Cassandra[/name], [name]Camille[/name], [name]Candice[/name], [name]Casey[/name], and [name]Cassidy[/name] would all go well with [name]Claire[/name] as well.
