We definitely want to go with a classic name nothing too unusual. We know if we go with a C for this baby's name then we will most likely end up going with a C for the rest of the kids (should we have more which we are planning on doing).

Keep the ideas coming!

I have siblings Caroline and Catherine, then my parents stopped with the C names.

OP here ... so to make things even harder both DH and I have names that start with a C. Coincidence for the two of us (obviously) but then we named DD with a C name. Now I feel like we either embrace it and go with all C's (which might be corny) or we have to stop with kid number 2.

You're going to be mixing up the names when you call them. I sometimes do it and my kids' names are nothing alike. I think it would be worse if their names sounded the same.

We were considering Spencer as a boy's name to go with Caroline.

It has to be Elizabeth, for a girl. All girl names except Elizabeth and Caroline are

1. trashy
2. pretentious
3. trying too hard
4. too common

(pick one or more).

-DCUM

Catherine is also acceptable

Girl list:
Cora
Colleen
Nora
Natalie

Boy list:
Carter
Connor
Delaney

I think Caroline and Colleen are just a little too close for comfort.

If you like "C" names, why not Charlotte, Camille, Claire, or Catherine? Or Christopher for a boy.

Otherwise, I think Catherine is pretty flexible in terms of sibling names.

Caleb
Christopher
Charles
Christian

This is a funny thread!

I also have a Caroline and am expecting my 2nd. My name is actually one of the ones on your list. Weird!

If we had a girl, my front runners were Catherine, Claire, and Elizabeth. We have a lot of monogrammed stuff, to put it lightly, so I was hoping to stay with the same monogram.

We are expecting a little boy and I'm pretty sure we are naming him James. If you want a C boy name, I like Connor, but we know a zillion Connors right now. Don't do Charles, because Charles is the feminine version of Caroline and that just sounds kind of silly I think. Too close. I think you need a classic name to match Caroline. Other names I liked (regardless of letter) were John (nn Jack), William, Thomas...

OP here ... thanks everybody!

We are not married to having a C name it just so happens we like names that start with a C. I am open to having a non C name! Love all the suggestions!

It used to be Irish surname.

Yes that is why we thought of Delaney .. its a family surname. Our last name is Irish (OP here)

I would go more classic since Caroline is old school. Eleanor, Elizabeth, Natalie, Emma...

That's funny that you both and your DC are Cs. One of my favorite families growing up was all C names, including mom, and then Dad began with a different letter. I didn't think it was corny, but then again, I like puns and am pretty corny myself.

I think this speaks to how easy it is to mix up the names (and that Caroline and Catherine are too close).
