I voted for Collin Andrew, although I like all 3 of your boy names.

As for your girl list, Cassandra, nn Cassie is definitely my favorite.

Callie is a cute nn, but I'd prefer to use a full name like Calista or even Calla, nn Callie.

Good luck!

My favs are Camden and Cassie. I love the middle names that you picked to go with them too! I am all about giving children names with meaning :) I personally would not give a child a fn with the same sound as their last, but that is your choice. I don't think it sounds as bad with the /k/ sound as it does with others, /s/ for example. If you can say it several time without getting tounge tied . . go for it! I really like the names :) My favorite /k/ name for a girl is Caroline. WDYT? Camden Micheal and Caroline Rose. . . I love the combo!

Best wishes!!!

Leslie :)

I'd voted for either Camden or Cassandra. The repeating L sound in CoLin KLinedinst, CaLLum KLinedist, CaLLie and CoLette KLinedinst trips me up. In regards to Colette I also do not care for the nn Colie, but that is just my personal taste. I really like Camden though - interesting choice!

To be honest, the prominent C/K and D or L sounds in all of these -- or S, in the case of Cassandra -- sound a bit odd and repetitive with Klinedinst.

Also, I'm probably way off, but your ln sounds quite German (the similar German Kleindunst loosely translates to "little haze," so I'm just guessing here), making some of these names seem a bit of an odd match, KWIM? If you absolutely wanted a C name for some reason, I'd expect something more along the lines of Conrad, Clara or Corinna, if that makes sense. Not that there's anything wrong with the names you've listed or not using a name related to your heritage, if that's the case. Just an observation on how others might perceive something like Callum Klinedinst. ;)

I really would try looking into names that don't begin with C/K, honestly. But then I grew up with K.K. initials, and always wondered why in the WORLD my parents thought that sounded good. LOL

On a sidenote, you might try creating two polls next time -- one for male names and one for female. No one can vote as you have it now, unless they honestly don't like any of your girl names (or vice versa). ;)

You got it! My last name is very german. I, for some reason am stuck on "C" names. I'm not too fond of many others. I guess if things sound too "c/k-ey" i could always use the boyfriends last name...myers. I didn't make it a boy/girl poll because I wanted people to just pick one name that they liked, but i will, in the future, make seperate polls. Thanks for everyone's imput...keep 'em comin:)
