Middle Names

[soundalike.livejournal.com]

I have 2 sons, Jonah Julian, 5, and Elias Ewan, 2.5, and we're currently ttc again.

If number 3 is a girl, we've chosen the name Caralisse (spelling not final), but I'm having trouble deciding on a middle name.

I'd like to keep the first and middle name alliteration going, and I've narrowed the choices to three:

Caralisse Ciaran (Keer-un)
Caralisse Cameron (or Camryn, but I'm not sure how I feel about this spelling)
Caralisse Cheyenne

Our last name is one syllable.

Thoughts? Thanks!

Ciaran is a male name (one that I love a lot!), so major no on that. What about the feminine version, Ciara? I don't like Cheyenne at all, either, plus it's not really alliteration. So that leaves me with Cameron, which I would prefer to see stay on a boy, but it's okay. It feels kind of quirky with Caralisse, which feels more frilly.

Thanks for your input.

I don't like Ciara at all. A Keara from my childhood was horrible to me, so that's out.

Spell it Kieranne and female it up.

Haha, well, the first name is already pretty flowery.. I think it would be a little too much. Plus, I feel like I'm taking a lot of license with Caralisse (I wouldn't say it's a completely made up name.. more a combination of two names, but I typically like names that are spelled the traditional way.) Thanks, though. : )

I'm sorry to say I don't care for any of the C combos (though I really like your son's names).
How about:
Caralisse Catherine
Caralisse Celeste
Caralisse Cecile
Caralisse Chantal
Caralisse Constance

[soundalike.livejournal.com]

Good suggestions, thank you. I like Catherine best. I probably wouldn't use it because I'm friends with a Katherine, but it inspires me to keep thinking.

Caralisse Cassidy
Caralisse Cecily
Caralisse Charlotte/Charlie
Caralisse Charmain
Caralisse Camelia
Caralisse Camille

Thanks. : ) I need to stop meeting people with C names! (MIL = Charleen, cousin = Cami.)

[babyjess8.livejournal.com]

I only like Caralisse Ciaran. Here are some other suggestions...

Caralisse Caitlin
Caralisse Cassandra
Caralisse Catriona
Caralisse Chandra
Caralisse Chelsea
Caralisse Christobel
Caralisse Coby
Caralisse Constance
Caralisse Courtney/Cortney
Caralisse Crista

Caralisse Cohen
Caralisse Cole
Caralisse Connor
Caralisse Corey

I like Ciaran, too. I get that it originated as a male name, but I've seen it used for girls. I also found Ceana (pronounced either Kenna or Shawna).

Thanks.

"Caralisse Cohen
Caralisse Cole
Caralisse Connor
Caralisse Corey"

Connor is a boys name, in fact all of those are, please don't do that to your kid, it's like calling a boy Sue!

You seem to prefer middle names that are two syllables and end in a "uhn" sound.

With that in mind, I thought I'd add some suggestions, though out of the three you've mentioned I do like Caralisse Cameron:

Caralisse Caitlyn
Caralisse Cathleen
Caralisse Christen
Caralisse Colleen
Caralisse Cayden
Caralisse Cailie
Caralisse Cailin
Caralisse Callyn
Caralisse Carine
Caralisse Carlene
Caralisse Carlin
Caralisse Carmen
Caralisse Caron

Other possibilities:

Caralisse Chance
Caralisse Chai
Caralisse Cadence
Caralisse Candice
Caralisse Callie
Caralisse Camilla
Caralisse Capri
Caralisse Charlotte
Caralisse Celeste

Oh you picked up on that? ; ) Elias' middle name was almost Emmanuel, but we thought it was too much, and after we chose Ewan, the pattern was there (if 3 is a boy, he'll be Nathanael Nolan). : )

I do like Carlin. I like Colleen, too, but (again!) I can't use it.

[beepandetch.livejournal.com]

How do you pronounce Caralisse? Cara-lease or Cara-lis? Is the Cara part pronounces like Car-ah the vehicle or Care-ah?

[soundalike.livejournal.com]

Care-uh-lease.

[frost.livejournal.com]

I don't like the way any of those sound. =/
Ciaran I like, but strictly male.

These were suggested by other people; I kind of like the way they sound.
Caralisse Caitlyn
Caralisse Christobel
Caralisse Courtney/Cortney
Caralisse Crista

[pixietangerine.livejournal.com]

Of your three, I like Caralisse Cheyenne best. Ciaran is WAY too masculine, and Cameron is verging on too masculine.

Some other ideas:
Caralisse Cordelia
Caralisse Courtney
Caralisse Camden
Caralisse Caroline
Caralisse Chelsea
Caralisse Corinne
Caralisse Callisto
Caralisse Calliope
Caralisse Carmen
Caralisse Cathleen
Caralisse Caitlin
Caralisse Cerulean
Caralisse Ceridwen
Caralisse Chanson (French for song)
Caralisse Charlotte
Caralisse Christine
Caralisse Clementine
Caralisse Coeur/Corazon
Caralisse Crimson
Caralisse Christen
Caralisse Cate
Caralisse Casey
Caralisse Cassandra
Caralisse Cassidy
Caralisse Cherokee
Caralisse Caspian

I really like Chanson and I've been tossing it around since reading your suggestion. I'm a pianist and would love to go with Chopin (composer) but my husband would never have it.

[purple-dragon88.livejournal.com]

Sorry but Caralisse Cheyenne sounds like a dessert to me, something with caramel and spice, and the other ones sound too masculine, just NMS.

How about Caralisse Corinne? Corinne is my cousin's name and I think it's a nice C name.

[soundalike.livejournal.com]

Caralisse Cheyenne is a little fluffy. ; )

I can't use it, but Corinne is very nice.
