Favourite unusual baby names beginning with C or K

I love unusual names starting with a C or K and have no idea how unusual any of these are. Which is your favourite?

I voted for Calista.
Makes me think of Calista Flockhart.

Camay
Calisa

Calypso just makes me think of the ice cream which could be awkward in teen years.

although caly is a nice nick name

LilyLemonade · 13/06/2026 21:50

I like all of those names. Very pretty. I only think Calypso might be hard to pull off. What about Cassandra or Camelia?

We nearly went for Cassia for dd2

Sorry I misread and was going to suggest Kirsteen

The dark greener website is good for telling you how unusual names are if that matters to you. Worth checking there.

NamingNoNames · 13/06/2026 16:06

@JustGiveMeReason , Keziah and Calista are not that unusual. I don't think any are awful.

Zhu · 13/06/2026 16:06

I know two Keziahs and one has gone for the pronunciation kezzy-a and the other is a Ke-zigh-a.

JustGiveMeReason · 13/06/2026 16:02

I suspect you aren't getting many replies, as all of them are awful and some people won't want to say that, so scroll past.

I have a friend called kezia and she hates the constant mispronunciation.

no one calls their kid Kellogg

NamingNoNames · 13/06/2026 14:39

Keziah (Kez-igh-ah nn Kizzy)

Bbq1 · 13/06/2026 14:31

I don't like Kezia at all. Calliope is nice.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 13/06/2026 14:22

There are loads...
Cork
Korky (the cat)
Cock-a-doodle-doo
Chimney
Kellogg
Kaput

CheeseNinja · 13/06/2026 14:15

If I had to choose it would probably be Keziah

FionnulaTheCooler · 13/06/2026 14:13

Keziah or Calista are nice.
