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?Last edited by libbyj06; July 10th, 2012 at 11:15 PM.

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.

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.
