My husband and I are in a constant battle with our son's name. He really, really wants to use the name Kane. I like this name, but I don't love it and I am really concerned about the association of Cain in the Bible. I on the other hand, don't have any boy's names that I really love and I have searched high and low. I don't like anything trendy. We both want to use something different so any suggestions are appreciated and I would love to hear opinions on the name Kane. Do any of you know of any one named Kane? Thanks! ?
I not only think of Cain but also of a cane, like a walking stick. Just not a very good image for a boy to me. I once knew a guy in college named Dane, and he was the tall, strong, type.
I don't think about Cain in the Bible when it is spelled with a "K" However that being said, don't settle on something you don't absolutely love. What about these names that aren't really trendy:
Fabio, Felix, Luca, Enzo, Nilo.....
You should look into other languages for something unique. Good Luck!
I like the name Kane. My 22 year old brother has Kain for a middle name and noone has ever said anything about the biblical relation. I say if you like you like...use it. I only know one person with Kane as a first name.

i associate cain/kane with the bible - i'd pick another name.
i know of one guy named kane. i don't know if he like his name or if he received any negative feedback about his name because i don't really know him.
I agree?

Yeah, I think most people associate it with Cain in the Bible and what he did. Sorry, but it is not my style for that reason.
Here are some similar short names as alternatives...
Pierce, Cole, Finn, Gray, Bryce, Caleb, Beck, Wade, Dean, Rowan, Troy, Reid, Grant
Agree with the rest - Kane's going to get the beat down at vacation bible school!
I love the name Keiran - similar sounding, but a little different, and it's Irish too...?
LOL?
What about Kade or Cade?
