    • Origin:

      English

  5. Cricket

    • Origin:

      Nature name

    • Description:

      Typically used for girls, but Disney Channel show Big City Greens made it wearable for boys as well.
  6. Cricket

    • Origin:

      Nature name

    • Description:

      Nickname name from the era of Father Knows Best, though we can see it making something of a comeback, a la Clover and Pippa. Cricket has new potential especially since it has recently been chosen by Busy Philipps. Still, it's one of the quirkier girl names starting with C.

    • Meaning:

      "rich deep red"

    • Description:

      Crimson could be a possible competitor for Scarlett's success, though it's lacking that Johansson charm.
  9. Crys

    • Description:

      Crys is an uncommon masculine name that likely originated as a shortened form of names like Crystal, Christopher, or Chrysanthos. The name has Greek roots related to 'chrysos' meaning 'gold' or 'golden,' suggesting brightness and value. As a standalone name, Crys has a distinctive, modern feel while maintaining connections to these longer traditional names. The brevity and crisp sound of Crys gives it a contemporary edge that aligns with the trend toward shorter, punchy names for boys. Despite these positive qualities, Crys remains quite rare in usage, likely due to its stronger association as a nickname or its similarity to the word 'cry.' For parents seeking a truly unique option with subtle connections to more established names, Crys offers an unconventional choice with an intriguing sound and ancient golden associations.
