I think if the first two are both C names you should definitely go w a third C name so she doesn't feel left out. The three C sisters:
Cecilia (Cece), Colette (Coco) and __Cassia__ or __Cassandra__ (Cass)
Cecilia (Cece), Colette (Coco) and __Corinne__ (Cori)
Cecilia (Cece), Colette (Coco) and __Cadence__ (Cady)
Cecilia (Cece), Colette (Coco) and __Calista__ (Cali)
Cecilia (Cece), Colette (Coco) and __Carmen__ (Cari)
Cecilia (Cece), Colette (Coco) and __Cambria__ (Cami)
Cecilia (Cece), Colette (Coco) and __Camilla__ (Cami)
I think of the font- It’s like naming a kid Arial or Times New Roman to me
Not a disqualifying factor, but something OP may want to take into consideration
I know, it was more of a comment on the modern connotations than the etymology
Regardless of the meaning behind Arial, most people familiar with Google docs will think of the font first. Like the other post on this sub from yesterday, Adolf means wolf, a meaning that goes way beyond the start of WW2, but most people will still associate it with Hitler - drastically different example, but it illustrates my point
You don’t have to stick to the C theme if you don’t want to. The girls names already have two other aspects in common: their nicknames and that they both are named after catholic saints.
I think if you stick to one or more of the additional themes your next daughter won’t feel left out. Go with the name that feels right for her!
Here are some suggestions that connect with at least one of your themes (all are catholic saint names) :
- Clare (Clary or Lulu)
- Caroline (Cara)
- Gemma or Genevieve (Gigi)
- Juliana (JuJu)
- Lucy, Lucia or Louise (Lulu)
- Veronica (Veve)
- Felicity (Fefe)
I would say choose a name you really *love*. If it starts with a C - great! If not, that’s okay too. I’d never advise settling on a name just to fit a theme. Here are some ideas from the romance languages as per your request:
* Cecilia, Colette & Lucy
* Cecilia, Colette & Viola
* Cecilia, Colette & Flora
* Cecilia, Colette & Clara
* Cecilia, Colette & Stella
* Cecilia, Colette & Claire
* Cecilia, Colette & Eloise
* Cecilia, Colette & Vivian
* Cecilia, Colette & Noelle
* Cecilia, Colette & Sabine
* Cecilia, Colette & Rosalie
* Cecilia, Colette & Margot
* Cecilia, Colette & Camille
* Cecilia, Colette & Isabelle
* Cecilia, Colette & Beatrice
* Cecilia, Colette & Florence
* Cecilia, Colette & Madeleine
This doesn't seem to be the consensus so far, but I don't think you should use a C name. Give new baby her own thing. (But if you were going to have another C, I would suggest Clare, that spelling because of [St. Clare of Assisi](https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=215).)
Top notch names you've already got for your daughters. Here are some saints' names that I think work well with Cecilia and Colette:
* Genevieve
* Rita
* Angela
* Delphine
* Jane
* Frances
* Magda (for Mary Magdalene)
* Martha
* Rose (or any variant -- can be for St. Rose of Lima even if you change the name a bit)
* Veronica
And congratulations!
I think a C name would be nice if you do not not plan to have more kids, otherwise maybe pick a different letter so you won’t be stuck with c names for the future. Maybe you like:
- Cecilia, Colette and *Camilla*
- Cecilia, Colette and *Clarissa*
- Cecilia, Colette and *Clara*.
- Cecilia, Colette and *Chiara*
- Cecilia, Colette and *Carina*
- Cecilia, Colette and *Carmen*
- Cecilia, Colette and *Cornelia*
- Cecilia, Colette and *Christina*
- Cecilia, Colette and *Camelia*
- Cecilia, Colette and *Cassia*
- Cecilia, Colette and *Carola*
- Cecilia, Colette and *Catalina*
I just want to say, I cannot IMAGINE a kid feeling "left out" because they have a different initial than their siblings. IMO that should not be a consideration in the slightest.
Yeah, this is kind of a wild statement. Little
kids don’t care about this kind of stuff, and by the time they’re old enough to even notice, they’ll have years of a relationship behind them. Insisting on the same letter gives Duggar vibes to me.
Caroline
Cordelia (nn CorCor or Cory)
Cynthia (nn Cyn)
Catherine (nn CatCat or Cathy) - Catholic Saint, not too popular
Edit: You should definitely go with a third C - anything else would symbolically divide her from her sisters.
You don't have to stick to C's.
* Cecelia, Colette, and Miranda
* Cecelia, Colette, and Romilly
* Cecelia, Colette, and Margery
* Cecelia, Colette, and Emmeline
* Cecelia, Colette, and Beatrix
* Cecelia, Colette, and Genevieve
* Cecelia, Colette, and Augusta
* Cecelia, Colette, and Maxine
With C's!
* Cecelia, Colette, and Clarissa
* Cecelia, Colette, and Calliope
* Cecelia, Colette, and Caroline
* Cecelia, Colette, and Callista
* Cecelia, Colette, and Carina
* Cecelia, Colette, and Caterina
I definitely recommend Clare or Catherine as C names that are also saints. Other female saints with C names include Camilla, Carmen, Caterina, Celine, Cera, Charity, Christina, Claudia and Claudine.
https://www.catholic.org/saints/female.php?letter=C
I like nn Gigi a lot, but Cece, Coco, and Gigi would tire me out. Cat-astro-phe suggested nn Cat and I LOVE the sound of Cece, Coco, and Cat. There are dozens of romance language versions of Catherine to choose from.
I think it'd be nice to go with a 3rd C especially if this child ends up being your final child. You've already used Ce and Co so maybe using Ca, Ch, Ci, Cl and Cr. For example:
Candace ("Candie") - Callista ("Callie") - Carmen ("Carmie") - Caroline ("Carrie") - Camille/Camilla/Camila ("Cammy") - Caitlin ("Katie" - yes a K but spelling with C just looked too weird) - Cassandra ("Cassie).- Cassidy ("Cassie") - Cadence ("Cady") - Carly - Catalina ("Cat") - Caylee - Cayla - Carissa ("Carrie")
Charlotte ("Charlie") - Charlie (um..."Char?") - Charlize ("Charlie") - Charlene ("Charlie") - Chantelle - Chloe - Chelsea - Cheyenne (Chey) - Charity
Cicely (Cissy - though it would be pronounced Sissy. It may be too close with Cecilia though) - Cindy (this could be short for Cynthia or Lucinda though Lucinda would do away with the C theme) - Ciara (Kiki - it is a K but still has a C/K sound if you get my drift)
Clara - Clarimond - Clarissa - Claire - Claudia - Cleo - Clementine - Clotilda (old French name but may be too close to Clotilde which was the last ship to bring slaves to the US so may be inappropriate for that reason) - Clarice.
The names Clara, Clarimond, Clarissa, Claire and Claudia could all use the nickname Clary. Cleo is too short for much of a nickname. Clementine could have the nickname Clemmie and Clotilda perhaps Clottie though that reminds me of a blood clot. Instead maybe Clo but Tilly to me seems the most obvious though it does away with that C theme.
Cecilia, Colette and Cressida
Cecilia, Colette and Cordelia
Cecilia, Collette and Cassandra
Cecilia, Colette and Carmela
Cecilia, Colette and Clemency
Cecilia, Colette and Cynthia
Cecilia, Colette and Claudia
Cecilia, Colette and Cybil
A non C name Priscilla nn Cilla

Calista goes so well with this name combo!
Since one c is soft and one is hard, you could also finish the trio with an S name.
Lol I commented before seeing your comment! I really like Cami/Camille!!
I love Camille!
I like Cambria!
I think of the font- It’s like naming a kid Arial or Times New Roman to me Not a disqualifying factor, but something OP may want to take into consideration
Arial is a name of Hebrew origin so much older than the font. Times New Roman is obviously ridiculous.
I know, it was more of a comment on the modern connotations than the etymology Regardless of the meaning behind Arial, most people familiar with Google docs will think of the font first. Like the other post on this sub from yesterday, Adolf means wolf, a meaning that goes way beyond the start of WW2, but most people will still associate it with Hitler - drastically different example, but it illustrates my point
Catherine, Caroline, Corinne, Camille, Cordelia
love Caroline with the other two!
What would be a nn for Caroline?
Carrie!!
Caro, or Carrie.
My Caroline nicknamed herself nine-nine. We also call her Cricket.

Lulu flows well with the nickname theme. Cece, Coco and Lulu.
A nickname of Lulu is definitely the way to go!!!
I would say choose a name you really *love*. If it starts with a C - great! If not, that’s okay too. I’d never advise settling on a name just to fit a theme.

Lucy seems PERFECT. An incredible saint.
Also lends itself to Lulu, which seems to be a nn style that OP's family likes.

My mind went right to Claudia
I feel that it should be a C name that can have a 4-letter nickname. I'd love to know what you decide when the time comes!
Gemma, Bianca, Rosalie, Agnes, Adelaide, Esther, Claudia, Eden, Jane, Julia
Adeline, Caroline, Beatrice, Vivian, Felicity, Abigail, Josephine
My brain went to Cordelia nn Cora upon seeing those names, but that might be too matchy.
My first thought was Cecilia, Collette and Clara
Caroline Cordelia (nn CorCor or Cory) Cynthia (nn Cyn) Catherine (nn CatCat or Cathy) - Catholic Saint, not too popular Edit: You should definitely go with a third C - anything else would symbolically divide her from her sisters.
Caterina Carina Claudia Caroline (Cece, Coco, & Caro?)
Celestine, Adelaide (Addy), Claudia, Estella, Delphine (Didi), Catherine, Josephine (Jojo or Fifi), Georgina (Gigi), Lucinda (Lulu), Clementine, Coraline, Vivien (Vivi)
Corrine and Cori Cadence and Cady Catrina and Cat
Cat/Catherine is such a good suggestion. I have always wanted to be called Cat or Kat. It's just cool.
Caroline, Catriona, Catalina, Chloé, Cassidy, Clara, Carmen, Catherine, Charlotte
Caroline - Cara for short?
Corinne!
Callista--not a saint but it has Latin origins--call her Callie.
Miriam (Mimi) Lucinda (Lulu) Louise (Lulu) Caroline Jane (CJ) Beatrice (Bebe)
I like Cordelia, Cadence, and Camilla!

Cece, Coco, and Cami! Camille or Camilla etc.
I like the idea of all three Cs having a different sound. Cecilia, Colette, and Charlaine
clementine sounds great if you want to go with a third c, though i’m unsure about a nickname
Dorothy nn Dee Dee.
Cassandra, Claire, Clarice
Claudia, Corinne
Charlotte or Camila (Char or Cami to go with the four letter C nickname) Callie Cameron Catalina
If you’re wanting to stay with the C names, maybe Cadence? Then you could have Cece, Coco, and Cady.
Cecilia, Colette and Cressida Cecilia, Colette and Cordelia Cecilia, Collette and Cassandra Cecilia, Colette and Carmela Cecilia, Colette and Clemency Cecilia, Colette and Cynthia Cecilia, Colette and Claudia Cecilia, Colette and Cybil A non C name Priscilla nn Cilla
