Honoring Karen

Looking for suggestions on a boy name to honor Karen. All I can really think of is Kieran and maybe Aaron? Karen is a version of Katherine which really doesn’t have a male equivalent so I’m kinda stumped. Any other ideas welcome!

Edit: loving all of the suggestions but I keep coming back to Aaron due to its awesome meaning and it feeling most similar to Karen. Thoughts on the combo Zane Aaron? Thanks all!

[name_u]Kit[/name_u] was definitely my first thought!

[name_m]Zaccai[/name_m] means ‘pure’ like [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] does

[name_f]Karen[/name_f] is a masculine name in Armenia.

[name_u]Kiran[/name_u] is similar.

[name_m]Narek[/name_m] is another Armenian name which also happens to be an anagram of [name_f]Karen[/name_f].

[name_u]Kai[/name_u] is unisex and is also a short form of [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] which comes from [name_f]Katherine[/name_f].

I think the suggestion of [name_m]Narek[/name_m] is really cool!

Karr could be a sharp middle name.
[name_u]Ren[/name_u] is also an idea, as suggested many times above.
[name_m]Karl[/name_m]?

If you’re still stuck, could you consider a trait that you admired and tie that into a name?

[name_u]Kai[/name_u] or [name_u]Kaj[/name_u].

[name_u]An[/name_u] international variant of [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] is [name_f]Kaja[/name_f]. [name_u]An[/name_u] alternative spelling is [name_f]Kaia[/name_f]. So [name_u]Kai[/name_u] or [name_u]Kaj[/name_u] could work for a boy.

Also [name_u]Cary[/name_u] or [name_u]Carey[/name_u] could work.

[name_m]Zane[/name_m] [name_m]Aaron[/name_m] sounds good.

I think of [name_m]Keir[/name_m] and [name_u]Kerr[/name_u] which I like a lot. [name_m]Ciaran[/name_m] too. Also [name_u]Kerry[/name_u] and [name_u]Kerrigan[/name_u].
