My SIL is pregnant. Not sure if it's a boy or a girl yet. Her first child has a hard C name. Her last name starts with a hard C. She's come up with Carter, Corey, and Cameron so far as possible names for her new kiddo. I came up with Kurtis and Cooper. What do you lovely ladies have for me/her?

Thanks in advance!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

HA - Katniss. That cracks me up. I'm sure in the years to come we'll have a Katniss born in the USA. I do like Gale though (for me one day maybe).

You didn't say name or gender of the first child. Cole for a boy if that's not already what she has.

Caitlin is a pretty girl's name.

For a boy -- Caden. Pronounced "KAY-den." It's my friend's son's name. He's the only Caden I know though I have seen the name a little since he came along.

It's both somewhat unusual still and also traditional (it's not a new made-up name). It is spelled just like it sounds so there won't be problems with always explaining how to spell and pronounce it.

And it sounds as good for a little boy as it does for a teen or an adult. It's not overused yet, either.

I would be sure to use the spelling with a C instead of a K -- Kaden looks all wrong to me and will indeed mean lots of spelling for years to come. But Caden is the traditional spelling. I feel the same about Kurtis-- why not Curtis? Save kids the burden of always having to explain and spell their unusually spelled names.

We were holding strong for Cooper until my friend started referring to our unborn as pooper cooper.

His name is Conner and it was split between that or Cash.

Katie is our girls name or Katherine. After a childhood friend of mine and my husband also had a childhood friend with the same name!

My brother was going to name his son Cash but it was a girl. We did not discuss it with my brother it was just a coincidence.
