    Sibling names to go with Claire

    I think we will use Claire for a future daughter, although the middle name is still up for debate. In case of more than one girl, I'd like some opinions on names that match Claire in style. Our son's name is Cuyler. I'd like to continue the "c" theme or at least the "c" sound as in the word cat, so "k" names will work too. Feel free to list non c names as well if you feel they go well with Claire in style, as we are not dead set on continuing the theme. Here are a few I have thought of.

    Kensington (Kensi)
    Kate
    Cassia/Cassi - Not sure if any of these go with Claire....thoughts?

    I love the name Claire -- great choice!

    Kensington feels too long and formal as a sister to Claire.

    For some reason Kate and Claire sound/feel too similar to me.

    I think Cassia and Claire would be really cute together! I like the sound and it's neat how the names include many of the same letters so they look well-matched in print.

    I know it's not a C-sounding name, but I think Wren and Claire would make a great sib-set! Wren has the strong but feminine, pretty without being too frilly sound that I think is so great about Claire.

    Really love Claire.

    Kensington is a rancid neighbourhood in my hometown. Not a big fan.

    Like Kate, but love Catherine more. Or Katya.

    Cassia is nice.

    Other C names:
    Caroline
    Calantha
    Catherine
    Caitlin
    Caoimhe
    Camellia
    Cecilia

    Favourite K names
    Katya/Katia (pronounced the same)
    Katharine
    Kezia
    Kelilah
    Kay
    Kathleen

    What I would really do, though, if it were me (and I know its not and you can tell me to shut up and go away) is rather than matching the initial, I'd match to the smooth, sweet, short-little-name sound.

    Claire is so classic and pretty, feminine but not frilly, like a little black dress. I like it with:
    Jane
    Pearl
    Blythe
    Eve
    Jade
    Faith
    Mae
    Grace
    Rose
    Fern

    I did like the other names I suggested too but I think some of them have a very different feel than Claire and some might drown it.

    I love Cassia! I think Cuyler, Claire, and Cassia would be a perfect set. I think Cassia perfectly blends the styles of Claire and Cuyler.

    Thanks for all the great suggestions and tips everyone! I think I am making our decision harder by adding more names to our list!

    I like the suggestions of:
    Kiersten(we had Kierstyn on our list for a long time but recently deleted it, and I had forgotten about it)
    Cassia(is still a favorite)
    Camillia(Camille I like a lot too but we are probably going to use cameron for another boy, too similar maybe)
    Cassandra
    Corinne( I like, hubby doesn't
    Caroline - I think I like Carolina (pronounced Caroleena. Would the spelling need to be different to get that pronunciation?)

    I also like Cassidy( I know people either like it or hate )
    Kristine/Christine (don't like nicknames associated with this name)

    Other names on our list:
    Alivia
    Alaina
    Madelyn
    Caliece
    Julia

    I know someone named Karolina and I think that makes the pronunciation more clear.

    Kensington is too out of place, imo.
    Kate is a bit too close to Claire.
    Cassia doesn't match with Claire.

    I like Cassie and Claire, but Cassie with the e on the end.
    Carly, Carmen, Colleen, Corrine, Carrie, Carina.

    I have a Claire and am considering Kate(Katherine), Caroline and Keira for another girl. I think style wise a lot of the names pp suggested do not work with Claire which as I see as a modern classic. I also like Charlotte and Celia for you. Good Luck, u cannot go wrong with Claire!
