  • This classic name has weathered decades with quiet dignity, deserving reconsideration in the modern era. Its traditional foundation provides a sense of permanence and respectability that transcends fleeting trends. The soft C beginning gives it a gentler quality than many vintage names, while the full three syllables offer substantial presence. There's something reassuringly timeless here—a name that suggests character, integrity, and steadiness. While not currently popular, this works in its favor for parents seeking genuine distinctiveness through revival rather than invention. It's ready for rediscovery by families appreciating understated, honorable choices.
