I'm really not a fan of Cain AT ALL but DH mentioned Kane and curiously I think I might like it even though it sounds the same as Cain.

What do you think of Kane?

I have taught two boys called Kane and they were both REALLY naughty, it is not a name I would choose.

Cain/Kane - same thing really. When you say his name, people won't be able to hear the spelling. They'll hear Cain and think of all the negative connotations.

I have to say, Cain is one of very few names where the negative connotations would put me off completely.
Your child is going to be lovely and precious and it seems a bit odd to name him after the world's first murderer. Murdered his brother no less (and I'm not a Christian).

Plus everyone would spell it Cain I'm afraid, seems like you're just trying to make it different.

Cole?
Cale?

Noooooooooo! I'm sorry, but - step away from the name.
