We have four girls.  Catherine, Caroline, Claire, and Colleen.  Their names were NOT picked for their first initial, but because we really liked those classic, old names.  We assume, but do not know, that we are having another girl.  Can we break from the C?  I say yes!  Please, Please help with some old, classic names that flow well with our other girls.<\/p>\n<p>Just to keep it all even more exciting&#8230;Baby #5 is due on New Year&#8217;s Eve!<\/p>\n<p>Good luck!  I&#8217;m stumped!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I say yes, too, especially if there will be more children after this one.  But I&#8217;ll leave in the C names if any seem to fit the criteria.

I think, too, that if anyone felt there was anything strange about switching from C names at this point, a holiday name would make them feel they had an explanation.<\/p>\n<p>My favorites are Audrey, Cora, Evelyn, Meredith, Noelle, and Rose.<\/p>\n<p>Or perhaps you will be naming your first BOY!  In which case we need some boy name possibilities:<\/p>\n<p>Andrew<br \/>Benjamin<br \/>Caleb<br \/>Charles<br \/>Daniel<br \/>Ian<br \/>Isaac<br \/>James<br \/>John<br \/>Nathan<br \/>Nathaniel<br \/>Samuel<br \/>Simon<br \/>William<\/p>\n<p><span>Name update<\/span> 01-05-2010!

We are blessed with 5 daughters and love our newest little one&#8217;s name.  Thanks for all your suggestions.  Caleigh was a name that came up after she was born.  We realized that to not name her with a C name was impossible.  She just had to be part of her sisterhood club.    We loved the suggestion of Noelle too.  It will always remind us of our special Christmas baby.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A. writes: Okay&#8230;Baby #5 needs a name. We have four girls.
