Boys Names beginning C

I love Christopher and Craig... can't use either. Any other suggestions?

Not sure if it's just the C sound I like or actually C(h)r...

If you like Cain then maybe you'd like Cian? I also think Caleb is nice and not too close to Jacob at all!

Thanks all! I actually really love Casey... though I think I'd probably originally thought it was a bit girlish as it's unisex, it's growing on me for a boy!

Also do like Caleb, and Cohen - though not sure if it's culturally appropriate to use 🙈

Christian. I feel like it's such a strong masculine name.

Cain. Casper. Caleb. Carter. Conrad. Connor. Clark. Cooper. Coleby. Colin. Curtis. Cohen.

MirandaBlu · 22/06/2023 00:04

I know a mid-20s Caleb; like it a lot.

These aren't Cs, but similar initial sound - how about Keanu, Keifer, Kelvin, Kirk or Quentin?

QuickWash · 21/06/2023 23:49

If you like Christopher how about Kit? Or Kittow?

Or Crispin

@LindorDoubleChoc I really like Craig and Christopher - so I think I like the C sound? So was looking for other similar ideas. My DD's initial is A, so I'm not trying to be matchy - just finding it hard to find a boys name I love.

I actually also like the sound of Cain, but wouldn't use it given the murderous connotations!!

Loving all the suggestions so far. Particularly Caspar (though is it too 'friendly ghost'?) and also Caleb, but my sister has a Jacob so maybe too biblical as a pair... more thinking required!
