Looking for advice on a baby girls name

I have a little boy already and due a little girl in October. I don’t know why but we have really struggled to pick a girls name. We have three names we are keen on as we would like the name to begin with a C. I like them but not blown away by any. They are Cleo, Coco and Corissa. Any thoughts / does anyone have a lovely unusual name beginning with C? Thanks

I know its been mentioned but I adore the name cordelia! Plus it has so many nickname possibilities - Coco, Dilly, Cora, Corey, Cordy, DeeDee etc

I don’t think Coco Chanel I think Coco the Clown 🤡

what about Camille, Clarissa or Cindy?

my favourite C names are Christina and Carolina.

Coco is a nickname and not really suitable for a middle aged woman.

Honestly Coco isn't the best, but very popular on cats!

My cat is Cordelia. Definitely my favourite "c" name.

cookiedoughdough · 25/09/2023 17:00

Coral?

DresdenDoll · 25/09/2023 16:55

I recently met a lovely woman called Cleo and I think it's a fab name.

Think Coco is my preferred choice but Cordelia has given me some food for thought. Thanks @PerspiringElizabeth

Are you looking for names starting with C or names starting with a C with a K sound (not ones like Charlotte, Cherith or Celia)?

I really dislike 'Corissa', sorry.

Coco is a pet name.

Cleo is lovely.

I like Cora, Cara, Carla, Caroline, Clemence/Clemency, Catherine, Charlotte.

I wouldn't choose but quite like:
Celia, Celandine, Cecily,
