Names beginning with or containing a hard 'c' sound

94 replies

NervousBFP · 29/07/2019 21:08

Because of our surname, we think a name with a hard C sound would be best...
So names like Connor (but I don't really like Connor) or Malachi (also not sure if I love it)
I like biblical names (Caleb) and traditional names.
Please help! We're running out of time and I haven't loved a single boys name!
(Also open to suggestions of names that dont have a hard C sound)...

I heard of a little boy called Cullen the other day which I loved.

Because calling a child Cohen isn’t like using a biblical name. It’s more like calling a child Priest or Imam.

Also not sure why non Jewish people can’t use Jewish names. People routinely use Isaac, Reuben, Benjamin, Rebekah, Rachel etc etc without an issue.

I'm definitely prepared to be educated here but what is the difference using Cohen without being Jewish when lots of people use biblical names without being Christian etc?

Why can't you use a Jewish sounding name ?

I love Cohen but obviously cant use it because of the Jewish religious associations. Also reluctant to use any variation of it because of the same reason.
There are some great names here though, thank you all for your suggestions!

Nico. Great name.

sunshineys · 30/07/2019 07:13

Quentin/Quinn

OwlBeThere · 30/07/2019 04:14

Cai. i know on mumsnet its ridiculed as chavvy with the Kai spelling, but Cai is the shorten form of Caius which is an arthurian legend name and also of roman origin.
Cassius or just Cass

Badabingbadabum · 30/07/2019 02:28

Michael.

But a hard T like Thomas or Tristan might work as well as the C/K.

Corinthian (been watching Two Pints of Lager!)
