As I was lamenting over my precious Tiger's loss to VA Tech yesterday, I realized I really like one of the players names:

Cullen

I'm having a terrible time coming up with boys names, so it's a big deal when anything gets my attention. (I hope this kid is a girl, for it's sake). We wouldn't be able to use Calvin as a middle name like we were planning on before..(shame, this was my husbands request to honor his late grandfather. The sentiment is sweet, but I really hate the name). I don't understand why all the names I like begin with C, either. It's not intentional, it just ends up that way. I have a 6 year old Corbin, Charis or Kaida (a C sound) are the top girls names for us right now, and now Cullen. Usually I don't really care about 'sib sets' or how two names go together, but I also don't want to end up with 2 or three kids, all with "C" names, and have someone think it's an intentional trend. IMO, it's kinda tacky when people plan it out like that. Maybe I'm over thinking?

Anyway, thoughts or opinions on Cullen, middle names, and/or a "C" trend?

Cullen is alright. neither wondrous nor hideous. ;p have you considered Cullum or Callam? just curious as I like them and they sound similar.

I kwym about feeling trapped into a trend of same letter names and kind of tried to avoid it with my kids. I have more of a problem with the rest of their names sounding too similar (which to me, Corbin and Cullen do because they both start and end with the same sounds). of course, 2 out of 3 of our kids' names end with a similar sound not only to each other but also to our last name so maybe I'm not one to advise on that.
