Girls name beginning with C

We have 3 kids already and they all have classic names. We have decided that DD2 to be should have a name beginning with C, but not Charlotte. Please give me your favourites and ones that might fit in with the classic theme of names. Thank you!

Carmella has reminded me of Harry Enfield, the slobs, and Frogmella, sister to s"Spudulika. :))

Cara, Cecily, Claudia, Carolanne, Caiomhe,

I love Clara and Charlotte has always been a fave (I know you said not Charlotte)
I also really really love Chelsea. It took a bit of a over-popular turn about 12-15years ago but you very rarely hear of babies called Chelsea at the moment x

I suggested Caroline as I would have liked it for my DD. However it's my DP's bosses name so he won't have it Sad. I just push the name on other people now, it's classic but uncommon

Kikimoon · 30/07/2015 10:04

I love Caroline.

Also adore Clara and Constance - they were on my list. Caroline is better though as it's unusual

Clara is really lovely. Elegant and classic without being 'fussy'. Beautiful.

Cloggal · 29/07/2015 19:54

Like Clara and Caroline, not keen on Constance or Connie.

I like Coral as suggested above, very underused.

Caroline. Classic and timeless, but not particularly in fashion right now, so not too common.

I think my top 3 are now, Clara, Caroline, Constance. I would like to know what people think of these names? It does matter to me because I don't want to give my dd a name that others make her seem weird.

This is where a name dictionary comes in handy Grin

My favourite 'c' names are Camille and Cecilia, and Cicely (not Cecily Wink)

Quasilulu · 29/07/2015 01:45

I'm going to be shot down here I can feel it... but I love the names Cherry ( it sounds so happy to me) and Clarissa nn Clarrie.

I think Caroline is a lovely name, definitely due a revival.
