Any not-too-out-there boys' names beginning with a k??

Hi, I would love our DS3 to have the initial K but can't think of any boys names that begin with a k that aren't in the Rooney Kai/ Klay category, does anyone know of any k-names that are less unusual/ more traditional (aside from Kevin/ Keith!!)??

but again a vote for Keir - not chavvy at all - although I have Ciar instead as OH got the vote on the Gaelic spelling. I wanted Kerr or Keir, he wanted Ciaran - we compromised.

I went to school with an exceptionally pleasant on the eyes Keir.

Love love love Keir. OP are you a labour supporter?!

soontobeslendergirl · 29/05/2013 21:58

I don't think you need to be a Labour supporter to use Keir, it is like saying you'd need to be a Tory to use David (or Winston :)) Keir is a well used but not common name in Scotland - apart from where I live now where it is v popular for geographical reasons.

Brilliant, thank you ladies :) unfortunately all the best k names are 1 syllable (I do love keir!) and our surname is v short so I think I will have to rethink the search sadly :( thanks for all the ideas though....

Im biased as 15yr old ds is Keir. Its a fab name. It was aname I rremembered from my history of politics a level and their was a baby diary in the back of one of the baby magazine's when I was pregnant with him.
