Classic C-Names for Baby Girls
Looking for a classic girl name that starts with "C"? Here's a list of traditional C-names that will wear beautifully in 2024 and beyond.
- Charlotte. This name has a lot going for it: French origins, literary underpinnings, and a young royal namesake.
- Chloe. An ancient name with biblical and mythological cred, Chloe has wide-ranging appeal in the modern world.
- Claire. Short, simple, and classic. What's not to love?!
- Caroline. An impeccable classic that feels at home on almost any list.
- Cora. The perfect blend of ancient and modern.
- Clara. A lovely, graceful classic that deserves more use.
- Cecilia. A gorgeous classic with history to spare.
- Camille. Camille is best described as a "low-key classic", a name that has always been around but never wildly popular.
- Catherine. This distinguished name has many sources of appeal: royal cred, Catholic bona fides (it's a saint's name), and an entire raft of built-in nicknames.
- Carmen. Some see Carmen as a timeless classic with saintly associations; for others, it's a dusty, musty moniker with a mid-century vibe. What's your take?
- Christina. A multi-dimensional name with a ton of notable historic and contemporary bearers from all walks of life.
- Cynthia. This classic girl name has a bit of a mid-century vibe that may or may not appeal.
- Claudia. A traditional biblical name that's being neglected at the moment—perfect if you want something nicely familiar but a little surprising.
- Carolyn. More time-stamped than Caroline, but still a possibility to consider.
- Christine. Christina—with a bit of a mid-century vibe.
- Charlene. For Charlotte-fans who want to take a slight detour.
- Constance. Sure, Constance has a bit of a dusty image at the moment. But for those who can shake off the dust and look at it with fresh eyes, Constance offers a sophisticated classic name with royal and literary cachet.
- Carol. A streamlined version of Caroline, currently suffering from overuse in the 1940s and 1950s.
