HelpRe: Collection of Classy C-names for Contemplation...
in reply to a message by Joiya
Camille: This reminds me of Bill Cosby, and the less said about Bill Cosby at the moment, the better.
Carmen: I think it's sexy in the way that red lipstick is sexy; it "sizzles" and it's very adult. I've always liked it a lot.
Carole: Never understood the 'e' at the end. Carol/Carole just doesn't do it for me. I have an aunt named Carol, and it's just dated and bland to me.
Cecily: I prefer Cecilia. Cecily feels unfinished, somehow.
Celeste: Tired old reason for not liking it: rhymes with "molest". Creepy vibe.
Clover: Dorky.
Coral: Reminds me of that chick from "The Real World". Never cared for it.
Cressida: Sounds snooty and VERY upper-class to me. "Cressida! Come here and meet the representative from Vassar!" *nose in the air*
Calista: Flockheart. I say this every time, but I can't separate the name from the woman. I watched "Ally McBeal" religiously in high school, so...
Cassidy: Eh. No feelings about it. It's fine.
Celandine: Sounds like the name of a gourmet salad.
Cathleen: I prefer Kathleen. Cathleen is all right, but I think the K adds punch.
Clarice/Clarisse: Are the lambs still screaming, Clarice?
Carlisle: Twilight. Peter Facinelli in ridiculous, pale makeup. Ugh.
Caspar: The Friendly Ghost. Ever seen the movie "Kids"? Yeah, I wouldn't recommend this one.
Casimir: Sounds more like a romantic idea for a name, rather than a name itself. I mean, I *know* it's a real name of course, but it sounds like the type of name a young girl would love and declare as the name of her future son before she even had an adult relationship. Not my thing.
Caspian: Ditto.
Cassian: Eh. It's kind of like Cassius-lite.
Cedric: Too old man.
Cosimo: Nice, but not something I would ever seriously consider.
Clovis: Hillbilly.
Clemens: Sounds gross and, well, clammy . Do not like.
Christoph: Like it better than Christopher.
Cuthbert: Ugly. Cuts like a knife. Do not approve.

After reading your response, I feel like I missed out on a bunch of social entertainment in my teens! . . .
- Loved Bill Cosby Show back then, but never made the Camille connection.
- Never saw Real World. It was on a list of forbidden shows when I was far too old to adhere to a list of forbidden shows.
- Vassar! Actually, I would love my kid to get in. But, I totally see your angle.
- Ally Mcbeal, another show I sidestepped.
- Silence of the Lambs, well aware of the connection. I think it may plague my daughter. She has three Clarice reindeer to mentally train the connection out before she hits the real world.
- Twilight - yep, never saw that either! Dang. And, I though Edward was the only name I would have to defend from that ;)
- Casper - yeah... the ghost. I can't separate either :( Still love Caspar though. Really really classy without the animated connection.
