Looking for unusual C names. I’m Carla and my husband is Craig, so not those names. Both boy and girl names welcome.

When you get post to your home addressed to C. Surname, how will you know who it's for?!

LizardyGuts · 29/05/2026 09:13

Do you mind about which sound the C has? Or is it just about spelling for you? Eg Caroline and Cecilia the C sounds totally different.

Caio (pronounced Ky-oh) for a boy. It means joyful, or something similar, in Spanish.

Coral for a girl.

Ias someone who shares an initial with one sibling and both (middle name) with another, please think again. It was a nightmare receiving post and on many occasions post meant for me was opened by my siblings. I know this won't be a problem initially but as they get older it really it was frustrating
