I really like CeCe as a name, Keira is lovely as well.

I like Eliot for a girl but then DH and I wanted to call DS1 Dylan if he'd been a she!

ClarenceTheLion · 15/03/2016 14:49

In your shoes, I'd just go with Elliott. When people meet her they'll know she's a girl, she can always use Ellie if she wants something more feminine - and you never know, it might open doors... (I've just been reading about how identical CVs are favoured more if they have a male name attached to them instead of female. Now I can see why people are calling their daughters James!)

Argh, Juliette !

CremeEggThief · 15/03/2016 14:41

What about Julie treatment instead?

I was just musing re the Kevin Carter thing BTW - it doesn't make any difference obviously.

MargotLovedTom · 15/03/2016 14:39

Kiera Carter makes me think of Kevin Carter (photographer, and subject of a Manics song).

I actually know an Elliotte and don't think the name has caused her any issues.

And the male Kieran!

Hmm, thank you. It is my DH's favourite too. Now, I like Kiera more, but like the NN CeCe for Ciara...

If a little girl told you this was her name, how would you spell it?

Kiera is fine. It goes with the male Kier.

Kiera Carter/Ciara Carter sound and look good to me!

Sorry, but Keira seems grammatically incorrect, it's lovely still, but Keira was meant to be Kiera and I think Keira only because more popular because of the actor!

Ciara is nice as it's the original, but I'm no where near Ireland and some people pronounce that wrong, but I do like the nickname of CeCe, because of the CC initials :)

I wouldn't go with Elliot - it would be Elliott.

If Kiera Carter genuinely sounds okay, I will probably lean towards that.

Ciara Carter would be lovely!

Keira Carter is cute! Not keen on The other 2 names, sorry

Finnleigh is worse than toilet Elliotte in my opinion. There is no level on which this works as a girl's name imo.

A boy's name with a feminine spelling is just daft. Either pick a unisex name and spell it normally or just choose a girl's name you like. The feminine spelling is too try-hard and I cannot imagine that she will thank you for it in future.

PurpleDaisies · 15/03/2016 14:20

Kiera Carter is absolutely fine. Smile

Last name is Carter though... Kiera Carter is a bit ConfusedSad

Kiera is nice OP.

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 15/03/2016 14:15

I've seen it spelled Eliette and like that better.

Floggingmolly · 15/03/2016 14:15

Why are you determined to use a boys name, with a (you think!) "feminine" spelling? Most people won't have a clue how she spells it, they'll just know she has a name usually associated with boys and think it's a bit daft.

SoupDragon · 15/03/2016 14:15

I think it's awful. It looks really strange too.

Elliott is too masculine

there is a reason for that...

Not sure, I just picture the name differently for a girl Confused I'm not set on a boys name, I just can't find one I like that isn't! Well, I like Kiera... But not sure it goes with surname

QueenElizardbeth · 15/03/2016 14:14

Or Juliette?
