Baby names beginning with K

[getmeoutofthismadhouse]

My friend is expecting her 3rd baby and she is looking for a modern name for her baby beginning with K . She doesn't know the sex of the baby yet ... any ideas ? ?

There are some really hideous K names on this thread! Kyle & Kai are bad enough but Keegan!!! Just saying........

I think K names are the new black. DDs (yr 3) class has 5 out of 18 (all boys) This years Reception Class has 11 out of 26 (mixed, and lots of them I've never heard before so couldn't tell you if they were boys or girls)

Kimbra, somebody that you used to know?

In Ds's reception class are two Kade's (boys) and one Keelan (girl).

Kamal, kamil, kadir, kalil, kamran, kasim, karim,

kansa, karen, karimah,kaysah, khayrah, komal, kyda

Katherine or Katharine is nice.

Also - Kerenza

For boys - Kit; or Kenton (like in The Archers) or Kester (Woodseaves from Precious Bane)

Kip? short for Kipper.
Kap? short for Kappa (tracksuits).
Kux?
Knox?
Knoddy?
Kod?
Kidda?
Kipling? makes exceedingly good kids.

rofl, kappa

how about killa

kenzie, kenzi, kenzo

mckenzie

There are only 2 possible names that begin with K, that this form deems appropriate for a future high court judge (Mumsnet's offspring occupation of choice, apparently) and they are...

Drum roll...

Kit or Kitty.

Yes, I know I go on about the high court judge thing, but it IS one of the most absurd things I've ever read on a baby naming forum.

Kontol

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.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_High_Court_judges_of_England_and_Wales

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 :)

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?!

Have we had Kanye and Keanu yet?

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.

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.

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 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.

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?

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!

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

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

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.
