Our son is [name]Chase[/name] and our daughter is [name]Carlie[/name]. I didn’t really pick those names because they both started with a ‘C’ - I just liked them. However, now we decided to have baby #3 (photo op suggests a BOY). [name]Do[/name] we have to stick with a ‘C’ name now or can we digress? If we pick a ‘C’ name, I don’t want it to sound like [name]Chase[/name] or [name]Carlie[/name].
My fave [name]NON[/name]-C names are:
[name]Asher[/name]
[name]Myles[/name]
[name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Nash[/name]
If I have to go with another ‘C’… (limited list, I need more ideas!):
[name]Cuyler[/name]
[name]Calum[/name]
What are your thoughts? Stick with a ‘C’ so the kiddo doesn’t feel left out or is it not a big deal? If I’m sticking with a ‘C’, I need more ideas!! THANKS!!!
A friend of mine recently had child number 3, after having 2 children with J names previously (one boy one girl), and chose a name starting with A, and my cousin has 3 girls starting with B, so in my experience you can go either way! The choice is yours!
I like C names for boys, I am expecting baby number 2 at the moment and if it is a boy we like [name]Corbin[/name] (up high on our short list!) I also like it spelt [name]Corbynn[/name], but I have a son [name]Flynn[/name], so I am thinking the spelling is too similar, maybe…
Some other C names…
[name]Carter[/name], [name]Callum[/name], [name]Caleb[/name], [name]Callan[/name], [name]Caden[/name], [name]Cole[/name]…
Good luck deciding! I am sure you will make the right choice
My older brother and I have the same initial and my younger sister has a different one. My mother considered other K names for girls, but too many were used in the neighborhood. Well, anyway, that’s moot. She would have been called [name]Michael[/name] if she was born a boy anyway, so it’s really not necessary to have the same initial.
Her name is quite a lot like mine, not rhyming exactly. All 3 of us, I think, have a nice sibling set of names. If you are planning or might have more than 3 children, I think a 3rd C would make it harder to deviate. After 2, it’s not really a pattern. It’s better to pick a name you love that goes with [name]Chase[/name] and [name]Carlie[/name] than to wedge a name into the pattern just because it starts with C, and if this isn’t your last, the problem will only get harder.
I think with three names, it’s easy to swich away from a shared initial for a third name and not have it be a big deal or super-noticable. If you go with a C for a third child and have a 4th, I think you’re pretty much bound to the C. There’s a family in my neighborhood with 4 children: [name]Donald[/name], [name]Diana[/name], [name]Douglas[/name], and [name]Nina[/name], and they get a lot of WTH did [name]Nina[/name] come from, why not [name]Dina[/name], etc.
I like your “C” names, but don’t think you need to pick another one just because that is how the others start. I think it should be a name you love. I really like [name]Chase[/name], [name]Carlie[/name], [name]Quinn[/name]. The Q is a different letter, but has the same “hard” sound like the C. And when it is written, the Q has the same shape as the C so it looks like it goes together. Good luck!
[name]Chase[/name] and [name]Carlie[/name] are lovely names!
While there are a lot of great C names out there, I feel I should encourage you not to use another one. In my opinion, giving all of your children names starting with the same letter is too matchy-matchy, and you have the chance to break the habit now (two children with the same initial is absolutely fine) before you possibly get saddled with 3, 4, 5 or 6 C names (or even more, in a Duggar-like situation :D). You could always use a C name that you love in a mn spot, too.
[name]Asher[/name] - I think this goes well with your children’s names.
[name]Myles[/name] - I’m not a fan, and it seems dated to me, in comparison with [name]Chase[/name] and [name]Carlie[/name].
[name]Quinn[/name] - very nice, and fits well.
[name]Nash[/name] - very abrupt. I think of nashing your teeth, the dog from the Beano, and Nashville, [name]Tennessee[/name] (I’m not sure if that last one is a good thing or not, I’ve never been there).
I would advise you to stay away from the C theme this time.
The names of [name]Asher[/name] and [name]Miles[/name] are perfect. In recent times [name]Miles[/name] has become a more popular name with those who want a name with a difference but not too out there.
I would personally choose a non-C name, too. With [name]Chase[/name] and [name]Carlie[/name], I think a more modern-sounding name would fit well.
[name]Asher[/name]: I know it’s a Biblical classic, but I do think it works with your kids’ names…
[name]Myles[/name]: I do like [name]Miles[/name], but I don’t think it works with your kids’ names…
[name]Quinn[/name]: I think this works really well with [name]Chase[/name] and [name]Carlie[/name]…([name]Quinn[/name] may be going to the girls, though. What about [name]Quinlan[/name]?)
[name]Nash[/name]: I’m personally not a [name]Nash[/name] fan…
[name]Cuyler[/name]: It’s not my style, but I can see its appeal. Chyler [name]Leigh[/name] is an actress, so to me, the name feels pretty feminine…
[name]Calum[/name]: I love [name]Callum[/name] (with two Ls), and can see it with your kids’ names.
Names with [name]Chase[/name] and [name]Carlie[/name]:
Sorry if this is a repeat, but although [name]Chase[/name] and [name]Carlie[/name] both start with ‘c’, they make different sounds, so aren’t as similar as say [name]Callum[/name] and [name]Carlie[/name] or [name]Chase[/name] and [name]Charlie[/name]!
I think you can easily get away with using a different first letter for baby number 3, and of your choices, my favourite by far is [name]Asher[/name].
This is wonderful! I’m feeling some pressure relief of not having to find a ‘C’ name. It’s weird - I really didn’t think much about it at first, but then some people I talked to seemed to be in shock (and not necessarily good shock) that the name might not be a ‘C’. I really like the suggestions and feedback as well - I’d rather hear all the feedback NOW than later! I’m probably liking [name]Asher[/name] and [name]Quinn[/name] the most right now - my husband likes [name]Quinn[/name] better… he says [name]Asher[/name] sounds like a reindeer!!! He’s not necessarily a trendsetter… that’s why I’m excited to have all of your feedback!
I don’t think you are, by any means, trapped into a “C” theme. Especially since, as previoulsy stated, their names start with a different sound. I would, personally, stay away from using another “C” name.
In my opinion, two names that start with the same letter do not make a pattern. Three names with the same starting letter…and you start to see the cutesy. [name]Both[/name] of my brothers’ names start with P. Mine does not. (Only three of us.) I do not feel left out. And I am happy that my parents didn’t go with alliteration.
Go with the name you like the most. [name]Don[/name]'t stretch for a C name…and if you like a C name the best, go with that (Though you may feel the need to let people know your intentions :P)
I, myself, adore the name [name]Calum[/name]/[name]Callum[/name]. But I love [name]Myles[/name] too! There is also [name]Milo[/name]… And [name]Quinn[/name] is super cute
I think you should choose a name you like and if its not with the C-theme just go with it.
Here’s some C names:
[name]Calvin[/name]
[name]Caleb[/name]
[name]Cameron[/name]
[name]Cassius[/name]
[name]Christopher[/name] ([name]Chris[/name])
[name]Cody[/name]
[name]Colm[/name]/ [name]Colin[/name]
[name]Coen[/name]
[name]Cole[/name]
[name]Cooper[/name]
[name]Corey[/name]
[name]Connor[/name]
[name]Conrad[/name]/ [name]Conroy[/name]
[name]Curtis[/name]
[name]Cullen[/name]
I think [name]Chase[/name], [name]Carlie[/name] and [name]Connor[/name] go amazing together.[name]Connor[/name] is an Irish name featured in Irish mythology and means wolf lover or lover of hounds. It has heaps of other spellings as well. Oh, [name]Cooper[/name] also sounds good with [name]Chase[/name] and [name]Carlie[/name]
