I like Kit and Kester. I think they are both variants of Christopher, which I also like.

Karl is ok.

Don't really like any of the others awfully much, though I'm getting used to them.

How come loads of people are rude about K names? I like that. That's all there is to it. And I am Classy thanks.

Oh - I like Kit and it stand fine on it's own. I know a lovely Kit (now 18).

Nancy66 · 02/11/2008 13:19

Keanu

he's not around much any more so it might be ok

otherwise Kiefer and Kit are fab

blueskyandsunshine · 02/11/2008 15:59

Kandahar

Kelly

Kevan (pron: ke van)

blueskyandsunshine · 02/11/2008 16:01

Kip?

RagingHormone · 02/11/2008 16:33

Kevan's nice.

Kaeden is nicer than Kayden, Kaiden or Kaden IMO. What about other people?

Kay and Kim are also boys' names. Well, they used to be. They might raise a few eyebrows these days, though if you liked them you wouldn't let it bother you.

BabyBaby123 · 02/11/2008 18:49

Kaeden's the same as Kaden though RagingHormone - you are just adding an extra letter that doesn't need to be there imo

RagingHormone · 02/11/2008 18:52

I think Kaeden is like 'kay-den' without the risk of it bein shortened to Kay- a woman's name. Kaden looks like it would be said 'cad-en' iyswim. Kaeden just looks right.

Friend has just called her baby Keo.

I like Kian.

Or go for the k sound and name your boy Sky or Skyler (on a shameless mission to make ds's name more popular )

Nancy66 · 02/11/2008 20:01

so that's official then - there are no nice boys names begining with K !

wilbur · 02/11/2008 20:01

I like Kingsley. Although I guess King as a short version is a bit naff.

LynetteScavo · 02/11/2008 20:02

Nancy - did you not notice Kermit? Definately may favourite by far!

Although Kenny is kind of cute, in a South Park way.

Nancy66 · 02/11/2008 20:10

Kojo? Kole? Korrigan?

Krazy...actually make that Kray-zee

Sesi · 02/11/2008 20:17

There does seem to be a high percentage of naff K names. Although it?s only the ones traditionally spelt with a C , e.g. Ciaron, Cian or Caleb but are needlessly changed to a K for affect that are the main offenders.

Otherwise there are a few nice ones, Kit is ok and Keir is nice.

Cadmum · 02/11/2008 20:17

My vote is for Karl.

But (and this is a big one) DH says NO WAY, NO HOW for any K names.

One of his old mates just changed from Keith to Kate. Kyle was a lazy trouble maker. Karl is somehow queer. (Too Germanic or is it Combat Karl?)

Kenny, Kevin and Keith all eat paste...

Kim and Kai are surely not real names for a boy?

BabyBaby123 · 02/11/2008 20:20

Kai is a real boys name - most definately - I know several

snarky · 02/11/2008 20:22

Kerry

Nancy66 · 02/11/2008 20:22

LOADS of south Africans are called Kai - don't like it though - Danniella Westbrook has a kid called that which sums it up nicely for me.

LynetteScavo · 02/11/2008 20:32

Kojo is growning on me. But I think it would suit someone with an afro best.
