Baby Names

FB names: The "C" Family

Carlyn, Charli, Clara and Chandler

The oldest 3 are girls. I think the new baby, Chandler, is a boy, although I can't be sure with the styles of the other names.

I LOVE the name Clara, but it just seems so different in style from the rest of these names.

And what kind of name is Carlyn? I've never heard of it, and it is not coming up on any name sites I frequent.

Re: FB names: The "C" Family

  • I love Clara and Chandler is OK, but nms. Charli if it's a nickname for Charlotte is OK. But... Carlyn?!

  • Clara is the only one i like...and i prefer Claire. Chandler just makes me think of Friends...Charli is spelled horribly.
  • Hmm, odd. Could it be "Carolyn" or "Caroline" with a weird spelling?

    Yes! Either that, or she loved Carly, but wanted to honor someone in her family named Lynn. Confused

  • I have an aunt Carlyn, but she's close to 60.  It's her full name.  That's the only time I've ever heard it, so it doesn't sound weird to me, having been around her my entire life.  :)  I hate the spelling of Charli!

  • I know someone with a son named Carlin.

    Personally, I'm not into the matchy family names all beginning with the same letter.

  • Of course I love Clara (see ticker), but the rest are NMS!  My nephew is Chandler.  I hate Charli, especially if that's a nickname for Charlotte.  Carlyn is awful!!
  • I'm hoping Charli is short for Charlotte. Clara is ok, NMS, but at least it is a real name. I've only ever heard Chandler from Friends, but there was a boy and a girl (one of Phoebe's brother's triplets) both named Chandler, so I guess it could go either way?

    I actually know of another Carlyn (spelled Carlin). She is in her mid-30's. I think it is a family surname.

  • I had a friend in grade school named Carlin. I liked it growing up! But she had a great personality so it sometimes makes you think positively of a name when you associate it with someone nice.

    I don't like families with all the same letter, it makes it hard to remember the names, and it seems like usually big families do it and makes it even harder!  I know a family with the children Kelly, Kim, Kyle, Karlie, Kesley, Kaylee.  The last three are like the same name!

  • I know someone in her early 30s named Carlyn. It is different, I had not heard of it before I met her. But, I don't think it's awful. Charli bothers me, though.

  • I know someone in their 20s name Carlyn. I'm not a fan of it, but it's a heck of a lot better than Charli. Yuck.
