Names beginning with or containing a hard 'c' sound

94 replies

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 like Caleb or Kerr.

And Cash? I mean I know it's an actual name, but surely no one would?

Ciaron, Callum, Conor (I know you said you're not keen but I like it), Christian, Christopher.

KitKatCHA · 29/07/2019 22:57

Just on reading the Chronicles of Narnia with DD, I absolutely LOVE the name Corin

Lonelykettleshed · 29/07/2019 22:55

Some people are suggesting Corey, it's a lovely name but it's also a Romany slang term for penis - just something to bear in mind.

And agree with the above poster that Lachlan doesn't have a hard C. Nor does Malachi

999caffeineplease · 29/07/2019 22:36

Lachlan doesn’t have a hard ‘c’ sound when pronounced correctly

Fanfucgintastic · 29/07/2019 22:34

Of the ones mentioned I like Caleb, Caelen and my favourite is coen, although I might be biased as I know a Cohen who is the sweetest little boy.
