An alphabetical list of '''neutral names starting with C''', continued from the [[names]] page, which see for more information. These are neutral-gender names, otherwise known as unisex names. They are equally appropriate for girls, boys, and people of any gender. Nonbinary people don't have to have neutral names, and many [[notable nonbinary people]] have names that are usually either masculine or feminine. Neutral names can help make it safer for people to explore their gender expressions. In English-speaking countries, some of the most familiar gender-neutral names starting with the letter C include Carey and Chris. However, there are many more unisex names from around the world that start with C, as listed below. Previous page: [[neutral names starting with B]]. Next page: [[neutral names starting with D]].

'''Creature'''. English. Meaning "A living being" in English. Christening is a ritual of naming and baptizing (washing) an infant, which some Christian denominations believe is necessary to save the soul. It used to be that in England, when a family feared that a pregnancy might end in a stillbirth, such as if a pregnant person fell gravely ill, then the people had a ritual for christening the child ''before'' birth. The English believed that they could not assign a gender to a child ''before'' birth, when its sex was not yet known. For this reason, the people would give the unborn one of these gender-neutral given names: '''Chylde-of-God''', Creature, '''Creatura''', or '''Vitalis''' (Latin, "life-giving"). All these names represent the hope for a baby who would survive. If they survived, then the law required them to keep these names. When marriage records from that era show grown men and women with these names, historians know this is the reason why. This naming tradition goes as far back as the 1200s. The religious and legal changes that came with the Protestant Reformation stopped the practice of christening the unborn, and so these names completely fell out of use after 1680.<ref>Charles W. Bardsley, ''Curiosities of Puritan Nomenclature.'' New York: R. Worthington, 1880.

Creature. English. Meaning "A living being" in English. Christening is a ritual of naming and baptizing (washing) an infant, which some Christian denominations believe is necessary to save the soul. It used to be that in England, when a family feared that a pregnancy might end in a stillbirth, such as if a pregnant person fell gravely ill, then the people had a ritual for christening the child before birth. The English believed that they could not assign a gender to a child before birth, when its sex was not yet known. For this reason, the people would give the unborn one of these gender-neutral given names: Chylde-of-God, Creature, Creatura, or Vitalis (Latin, "life-giving"). All these names represent the hope for a baby who would survive. If they survived, then the law required them to keep these names. When marriage records from that era show grown men and women with these names, historians know this is the reason why. This naming tradition goes as far back as the 1200s. The religious and legal changes that came with the Protestant Reformation stopped the practice of christening the unborn, and so these names completely fell out of use after 1680.[182] Keywords: Catholic, Christian, birth, Elizabethan era, gothic, life, medieval, renaissance era, three syllables, tragic, Tudor period, two syllables.
