    • Description:

    • Meaning:

      "hard or rocky land"

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      This hyper-rhythmic name has two evocative references. In Greek mythology, she was an island nymph, a daughter of Atlas, who delayed Odysseus from returning home.

      "land of Califia, land of the caliph"

  10. Camira

    • Origin:

      Variation of Cameron or Aboriginal

    • Meaning:

      "crooked nose; of the wind"

    • Description:

  12. Cantata

    • Origin:

      Italian

    • Meaning:

      "musical composition with vocal elements"

    • Description:

      Light and delicate musical name would make an unusual choice.
  13. Caralie

    • Description:

      Caralie is a feminine name with French influences, possibly derived from combining 'cara' (dear or beloved in Latin) with the French suffix '-lie.' The name has a graceful, melodic quality with its three flowing syllables. Caralie projects warmth and charm while maintaining a distinctive character that sets it apart from more common names like Caroline or Rosalie. Though never reaching widespread popularity, Caralie has maintained a quiet presence in naming records since the early 20th century, particularly in North America and France. The name offers versatility with potential nicknames like Cara or Cari, giving it both formal elegance and casual approachability.
  14. Carlin

    • Origin:

      Irish

    • Meaning:

      "little champion"

    • Description:

      Stronger and more contemporary twist on Carla or Carly, Carlin was used just about equally for girls and boys in the US last year.
  15. Carmalita

    • Description:

      Carmalita is a feminine name with Spanish and Italian influences, derived from Carmel or Carmela, which refers to Mount Carmel in Israel. The name carries religious significance in Christianity, as Mount Carmel is associated with the prophet Elijah. Carmalita adds a diminutive suffix to the original name, giving it a more endearing quality. While less common than Carmela or Carmen, Carmalita offers a distinctive variation with the same warm, melodic qualities. The name suggests sweetness and charm, and remains relatively uncommon, making it a unique choice for parents seeking a name with Latin roots and religious connections while maintaining individuality.
  16. Cassatindra

    • Description:

      Cassatindra is a feminine name that appears to be a modern invention, possibly combining elements of the popular name Cassandra with a unique suffix, or blending Cassandra with other feminine name endings like those found in Alexandra or Melinda. Without historical roots in traditional naming practices, Cassatindra is extremely rare and likely represents a contemporary creation by parents seeking a distinctive, elaborate name with a melodic quality. The name has a flowing, romantic sound with its multiple syllables and soft consonants. While Cassandra derives from Greek mythology meaning 'she who entangles men,' Cassatindra doesn't carry a specific etymological meaning beyond the associations with its potential root name. This highly uncommon name would appeal to parents looking for something both recognizable in its beginning sounds yet wholly unique in its complete form.

  17. Cassia

    • Origin:

      Feminine form of Cassius or Greek

    • Meaning:

      "cinnamon"

    • Description:

      Cassia is related to the cassia tree, which has yellow flowers and produces a spice that can be a substitute for cinnamon. Keziah, the name of Job’s daughter in the Old Testament, derives from the name of the plant as well. Cassia also has ties to the Ancient Roman name Cassius, an Ancient Roman family name meaning "hollow."
  18. Cassiopeia

    • Origin:

      Greek mythology name

    • Meaning:

      "cassia juice"

    • Description:

      Cassiopeia, the name of a mythological mother who became a stellar constellation, is challenging but intriguing, and has all those softening Cass nicknames available. And with all names Cass-related trending, Cassiopeia may be an unusual route to a stylish name.
  19. Christmas

    • Origin:

      English word name

    • Description:

      Christmas is a day name long and quietly used as a name for babies born at Christmas. Prettier and more modern than Noel or Noelle.
  20. Camera

    • Origin:

      English word name

    • Meaning:

      "an optical instrument used to capture and store images or videos"

    • Description:

      The late tennis great Arthur Ashe (whose wife was a photographer) pioneered word names when he used this for his daughter. It would make an interesting first or middle name possibility for parents involved with photography.
