Some of my most-viewed posts profile last summer's Share a Coke campaign (part one, part two). This year, Coca Cola is bringing it back, and they've added tons more names. Here I've listed all the names that didn't appear on the U.S. or U.K. lists last year. It's all after the jump.

Alternatives to Noah

Noah is America's new favorite boys name, so some parents are likely scrambling to find an alternative. Fortunately, I have come up with some great choices, whether you like Noah's look, sound, or style.

Sight
Noaz- A mixture of Boaz and Noah for the more adventurous parent.
Noe- This one could get confusing when disciplining your child, but there are downsides to every name.
Noel- Stick with the NOHL pronunciation for a son.

Sound
Koa- A beachy Hawaiian rarity.
Noam- A lovely name, despite the gnome associations.
Nohea- Another Hawaiian sound-alike to Noah.

Style
Abel- Biblical and short, just like Noah.
Graham- Noah and Graham could easily be brothers.
Judah- An ends in -ah name that has remained relatively undiscovered.

10 C Names You Never Thought of Using: Boys

Couldn't find the image credit. If you know it, help me out!

Welcome back to my favorite series. Today we are on to C names for boys, the ones a little less popular than Carter or Charlie. Take a look.

Cabel- Part Caleb, part Abel. Great choice if you're looking for a name that sounds familiar, yet no one has heard of it.

Cadell- Looking for a cool way to get to Cade? Look no further.

Che- Classier and more masculine than Shay.

Chester- Chester's in the sweet spot. Too old fashioned for most people, but starting to sound appealing.

Clyde- Clyde has that art deco, 1920s feel to him. He ranks at 999, so scoop him up for yourself.

Connelly- An Irish surname that doesn't get a lot of use.

Cormac- Tailored and modern. An unexpected way to get to Mac.

Cosmo- Boys names ending in -o are popular, but Cosmo didn't get the memo. Perfect.

Croix- More exotic than Cruz or Cross, plus he ends in -x.

Crosby- If you want to name your child after a musician, Crosby is more interesting than Lennon or Hendrix.

Curran- Add a "T" at the end to update this gem for a foodie.
