"Rare" K Boy Names

Handsome Keane!

Hey guys! I'm back again! I know I took a little bit of a break but I was thinking that I would get into a schedule. I haven't decide what days I want to post on besides Friday. I'll post at least two times a week, if not more.

So let's get on with the post! Today is the "rare" K boy names. I was quite surprised at how few boys names there were for the list.

Keane (KEEN)

• Meaning- fighter; sharp, keen wit or eye
• Origin- Irish, and English
• Siblings- Bryce and Egan

I love the sound of Keane but the spelling could be confusing. I really don't like the spelling. I think I would spell it Keen, although it doesn't look too pretty. Keane would make a prefect middle name! It's one syllable and a lot of popular middle names are one syllable.

Kelly

• Meaning- strife, war
• Origin- Irish
• Siblings- Colleen and Shannon

I much prefer Kelly on a girl. The only Kelly's I have ever met have been girls and I think that is why I prefer Kelly on a girl. Although I prefer Kelly on a girl, I would be really happy to see it on a boy. It would be so refreshing and I believe that the name would sound so new on a boy as opposed to a girl.

Kent

• Meaning- Edge
• Origin- English
• Siblings- Gwen and Todd

Kent makes a great nickname but I'm not sure how much I like it as a first name. It sounds like it belongs on someone from the south and someone who is an adult. I feel like it is too grand for a baby as just a first name. I went looking for a full name for Kent but couldn't find any. If you have suggestions leave them in the comments.

Kermit

• Meaning- Without envy
• Origin- Irish
• Siblings- Zelda and Linus

What's the fist thing you think of when you hear the name Kermit? Is it the frog? If you said yes to that question you are not alone. I think of the green frog also and have a strong feeling that, that is what everyone will think. I really don't see this name being usable on a days. It is too associated with the frog, Kermit. 

Kip

• Meaning- pointed hill
• Origin- English
• Siblings- Penny and Robin

I love the name Kip! It's so cute and vintage. As with a lot of other names I feel like Kip is much better as a nickname. I went on a search and came up with a few possible full names. The first one is Christopher, a very normal name. The other one is a more unique name and that is Kipling. I don't really like either names, so I guess I will keep looking. 

Kirk

• Meaning- Church
• Origin- Norse and German
• Siblings- Joni and Craig

Kirk sounds very 80's to me. It also reminds me of Star Trek for some reason. I really don't like this name all too much but it's not that bad. Just like Kent, I cannot see this name on a baby. It would make a great middle name though. 


As soon as I get an idea as to what days I am going to post I will let everyone know. Until then look out for more post!

"Rare" K Girl Names

Sweet Baby Kateri!

Hello! I am back!!! I'm not \sure how long I will be back but I am going to work my absolute best to post as much as I can. I know the last time I posted was over a month ago and before that I had not been posting regularly. I would like to apologize for that. I was finishing my senior year and getting ready for graduation. I really had no time to do much of anything. This whole time I have been thinking about my blog and how much I missed posting! The only problem I had was I had no time! Not that summer is here and in full swing I think I will have time to post more. I so have a lot planned for the summer so I don't think I will be posting regularly.

As for today's post I have the "rare" K names for girls! I was actually shocked that there weren't a lot of names! I was expecting more! So K is one of my favorite letters for names. Let's see what K names we have on the list!

Kateri

• Meaning- pure and torture
• Origin- Greek
• Siblings- Winema and Vitus

I really enjoy this name. I feel like it is different but not too different it be used. In the last year a woman by the name of Kateri Tekakwitha was named a saint. I believe that brought the name more attention. My favorite nickname if Teri (tear-ee).

Katia (KAHT-ye)

• Meaning- pure
• Origin- Greek
• Siblings- Anya and Dimitri

I love this name! It sounds very grand and has a beautiful feel to it. I like the fact that you could use it as a name to honor a Katherine or Kate but still use something unique. If you wanted to you could use the nickname Kate.

Kay

• Meaning- pure
• Origin- Greek
• Siblings- Sue and Ted

Kay is a great nickname and very simple. It can be used for any K name really. I often see it used as a nickname for Kayla or Katherine. I can really only picture this name on a grandmother, though.

Keisha

• Meaning- Her Life
• Origin- American
• Siblings- Tasha and Kelvin

I'm not really a fan of the name Keisha. It really isn't a name go for but I still think it is pretty.

Kerri

• Meaning- black
• Origin- Irish
• Siblings- Staci and Brent

I went to school with a girl named Kerri for 4 years. I always thought her name was pretty. It's a very Irish name too. A lot of Kerri's are called Kerri Ann, which is a pretty name too.

Kia (KEE-uh)

• Meaning- Pet form of Kiana
• Origin- English and Swedish
• Siblings- Tai and Teo

I love Kia! I don't like it as a nickname for Kiana but just on its own. It's a much less popular name than Mia but still has the same feel. Kia is also a name I can see on all nationalities.

Kiki

• Meaning- New beginning, new life
• Origin- French, Spanish, German
• Siblings- Britt and Zeke

Kiki makes a sweet nickname but I don't like it on its own. It's does sound like it belongs on a pet. I do like the quirky sound it has.

Kim

• Meaning- Short for Kim- names like Kimball and Kimberly
• Origin- English
• Siblings- Beth and Greg

I'm not a fan of Kim. It sounds dates to me. I don't think I have heard a children under the age of 12 named Kim. If Kim was to be used I would much prefer it used as a nickname.


So there you have the K girl names! There was quite a few nicknames on the list and a lot of the names that really weren't that "rare". I would have to say that my favorite names were Kateri and Kia.
