Baby names beginning with K

My mum is Clara with a C. She's Dutch.

So there?
You proved my point you numpty, its only a K in a few European countries.
There is no "European way" of spelling a name, what with all the different languages and even alphabets in the whole of Europe.

Zackly

Or Tyler.

Ok enough now - each to their own and all that

(I'm exaggerating by the way)

LouMacca I really love the names Kit and Kitty too. The story is that Mumsnet hates names that begin with a K (I have NO IDEA if that's true), which is ALWAYS mentioned on a "K name" thread. Usually along with the recommendation that one chooses a name that would suit a future high court judge (or doctor) and that doesn't include K names. Or Jayden.

It's all very jolly

My name is Clara and is written as Klara in
Hungarian. Also written like this in other Eastern European countries, and have also seen it written like that in Germany.

So there!

Kit
Kade

Kian

Kieva

For a boy - Kenneth

For a girl - Kathryn

"European way of spelling it"

No it isn't. Pick a country, Europe is BIG, and as mentioned, plenty of European languages don't have K's.

Relax. No need to reel out political correctness.

I only like Kate or Katie.
The boy names are not my taste, Kayden, Keegan, Kyle, Kai, just a bit samey.

For what it's worth my names is quite odd and means something quite ridiculous so I was laughing at the meaning not the cultute it came from. Also my name was going to be a K until my parents discovered my initials spelt out an unfortunate term for poop.

There are really nice K names, Katharine/ Kathryn, Karenza, Kaitlin, Kate.
Catrin could be Katrin perfectly easily.

Also pretty European names like Katerina.

But there are a lot of K name's that like it or not people will judge.

But there at

Klara. It's the European way of spelling it.

It doesn't normally annoy me but some people have just come on here to sneer and I think that's really bad form.

It's fine to have those opinions but to come on a thread to mock the OP and not offer any constructive suggestions is rude.
It's hard enough choosing a bloody name!

I picked my children's names based on the fact I liked them and don't give a stuff if they aren't future lawyers names.
So I like
Kirsty -my name
Kayleigh - my dds name
Kate
Kitty
Kyle
Kyeron

Can you tell us what the other twos names are so we could pick something that goes with them and starts with K?

I don't know where this "mn hates k names" comes from. I've never seen it except in this context, people complaining about something nobody did.

What I have seen said (and wholeheartedly agree with) is that people don't like names that have been changed from a C to a K. Like Irish names, there is no K in the irish language, so its all C. But the english way is to change them to K's, which a lot of people hate (unsurprisingly when you think about the history behind it). There is no K in Italian either, or Spanish, so any names from those languages changed to a C are also odd looking.

Names from languages that use K are entirely different, so greek and turkish and so on names are traditional.

To sum up, Katherine fine, Kian is shite and etc.

Just my opinion but I know its not unique to me.

ah chill Poche.

If you'e going to have a high court judge then you really need to call it Justice to be in with anything of a chance

I am finding it very offensive that people are coming on here purely to be rude about 'K' names as they are used widely in my culture and plenty of other cultures too (Greek, Islamic, Jewish, I could go on)

I don't see anywhere that the OP has mentioned wanting people to post suggestions mocking names that begin with 'K'. If you're going to be rude, don't post.

Considering MN's usual politically correct stance on sexism, racism, disability, class, etc. I wonder why this is acceptable because indirectly you're ridiculing people who don't fit the 'White, British, middle class' mould.

Keep your ignorant comments to yourself.

Pmsl slowest Loving Krikey & Kipling

I do actually love Kit & Kitty - tell me the story Badgerina??

I also love Kate and..... erm, no that's it.

Have we had Kanye and Keanu yet?

Ignore the K-haters.

How a simple letter can cause such vitriol and ridicule I'll never know!

I like Kyra, Kira/Keira, Keren for girls and my son's name is Kairon - pronounced Kye-ron (can also be spelt Kheiron) Aside from on here (specifically in the baby names section) I've had nothing but good comments on it.

Of course you may wish to recommend one of the following instead:
Atticus
Benedict
Artemis

For a girl: has to be Octavia (Skoda connotations don't count)

Never met one in RL though. Perhaps people pretend to like the names on here so other people won't use their own choices?!

Konvict. High Court Judge name right there.

Kondor.
Kaptain.
Krikey.

Kachine - like Machine but more 'K' like.
Kakra.
Karma.
Kangaroo - 'Skippy' for short.

Kessie : KEH-see : ghanese "fat at birth" - just what you want :)

I've just checked Wiki for the list of high court judges in England and Wales. Funnily enough, they're all called Justice! Even the girls.
