K names that you actually like

General Name Discussion

[name_m]Reading[/name_m] the thread of names that annoy you. I decided to challenge myself to think of K names I like.

[name_u]Kai[/name_u] (boy)
[name_u]Keagan[/name_u] (boy)

(I love [name_u]Kai[/name_u] and [name_u]Keegan[/name_u] and could easily name a boy either of these names, they are on my long list)

[name_f]Kaia[/name_f] (girl)
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] (girl)

(I have considered adding [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] to my short list and have [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] on my long list)

[name_u]Keaton[/name_u] (boy)
[name_u]Kyle[/name_u] is okay (boy)

(I know someone with a son named [name_u]Keaton[/name_u]. I really like it.)

and I don’t even pay attention to the Khardashians!

[name_f]Kate[/name_f]

I honestly don’t like any K names for girls. The only one I somewhat like is [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] but I wouldn’t use it now cause it just makes me think of the ereader [name_f]Kindle[/name_f]. There are a few boy ones that I like but wouldn’t necessarily use like [name_m]Kellan[/name_m], [name_u]Kieran[/name_u], [name_u]Kyle[/name_u].

This was hard for me!

[name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Katie[/name_f]
[name_f]Kat[/name_f]
[name_f]Keturah[/name_f]

[name_m]Kenneth[/name_m]
[name_m]Kermit[/name_m]
[name_m]Kip[/name_m]

It’s tough.

Boys:
[name_u]Kai[/name_u]

Girls:
[name_m]Kerrigan[/name_m] (Prefer Carrigan, but I don’t mind the K, since it was how I first heard it)

…yeah, I think that is it

My name is [name_f]Kristin[/name_f] :slight_smile:

I never used to like it because no one else had it. Now, I appreciate that it is different without being too “out there”…

10

[name_f]Kerensa[/name_f]
Kavita ([name_f]LOVE[/name_f] this)
[name_f]Karis[/name_f] (though I prefer [name_f]Charis[/name_f])
[name_f]Karine[/name_f]
Karima
[name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_m]Keith[/name_m]
[name_m]Kenneth[/name_m]

11

The only ones I can think of are [name_u]Kai[/name_u] for a boy and [name_f]Kerensa[/name_f] for a girl.

I do like [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] as a name, but much prefer the spelling [name_f]Catherine[/name_f].

12

[name_f]Kaya[/name_f]

and

[name_u]Kai[/name_u]…only. I have a friend w a kid named [name_m]Kellen[/name_m] which is OK.

13

[name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] is a family name. Also the K in J. K. Rowling which makes it special.
I also like for girls (even though I find a lot of these dated.)
[name_f]Kirsten[/name_f]
[name_f]Keri[/name_f]/[name_u]Kerry[/name_u]
[name_u]Kelly[/name_u]
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_u]Kimberly[/name_u]
[name_f]Kristen[/name_f]

I like for boys
[name_m]Kevin[/name_m]
[name_m]Kenneth[/name_m]
[name_m]Kurt[/name_m]
[name_m]Karl[/name_m] (but I prefer [name_m]Carl[/name_m])
[name_m]Kalle[/name_m] (a Swedish diminutive of [name_m]Carl[/name_m]/[name_m]Karl[/name_m])
[name_u]Kit[/name_u] (as nickname for [name_m]Christopher[/name_m])

I probably wouldn’t use any of these, but then I have no kids so I could maybe use [name_m]Kurt[/name_m] or [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m].

14

I’m not really big on K names, the only two that came straight to mind are both boys: [name_m]Kian[/name_m] + [name_m]Killian[/name_m]. I do like [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] for a girl too, though.

[name_f]Kylie[/name_f] (again, yes I know)

[name_u]Kamali[/name_u]

BOYS:

[name_u]Kieran[/name_u]

16

Boys:

17

I can not believe I did not think of [name_f]Kristin[/name_f] or [name_f]Kirsten[/name_f].

18

That is funny. :slight_smile:

19

[name_f]Kate[/name_f] will always be my fave K name for girls.
I have a friend named [name_u]Keely[/name_u]. [name_u]Keely[/name_u] is a sweet and uncommon name, so I love it.
I do like [name_u]Carmen[/name_u] with a K - [name_f]Karmen[/name_f].
For boys, I like [name_m]Kellan[/name_m] and that’s about it. I know someone with a boy named [name_u]Keaton[/name_u] too!
