"K" name for a boy

kittyjay · October 2015

I will start this off saying that we named our daughter a difficult name. This time around, I'd like an easier name for our son, but one that is still very unique. We would like his name to start with a "k."

So far, we have picked Kirian. What are your thoughts/feelings about this name for a boy? Middle name may be Jay (Kirian Jay).

Thanks ladies!

I've never heard Kirian and it's nms, perhaps Killian?

Isn't there a Japanese beer or something that is similar to that? I don't drink beer so I'm not positive, but that was my first thought.

Killian is traditionally spelled Cillian in Irish, but you could spell it phonetically to make life easier for them, I suppose. I've always liked the name Kieran. I have a friend name Kellan which is nice. I've never heard the name Kirian. k is a hard letter for boys names!

I flipped through my baby name book to get some ideas, and the boy section for K seems to be slanted toward Arabic, Irish, Hawaiian, and Japanese names, for what that's worth. Also a lot of options were variation on names that are originally beginning with C. Some things I liked:

Kadar

Kadeem

Kade

Kane

Kamden

Kareem

Karl

Kay

Keanu

Kearney (or Kearn)

Keaton

Keene

Kirby

Kermit

Kendall

Kestrel

Khalid

Kincaid

Kipp

Klaus

Konrad

Kurt

Since you said you prefer unusual names, these are probably not up your alley, but there's also:

Keith

Kevin

Kenneth

Kyle

Kirian is showing up as a rare variant of the anglicized Kieran. I would recommend going with the most common/traditional variation. It makes life a little easier for paperwork and such.

Never heard of kirian

Kieran Jay (what I would go with, it's close to kirian)
Keegan Jay
Keenan Jay
Kellan Jay

Unfortunately most of the K names are actually C names and they've just been changed. If that doesn't bother you than there's these as well

Kolton Jay
Kameron Jay
Kristian Jay
Korbin Jay

A friend's son's mn is Keoni which is the Hawaiian version of John. It means "God is gracious".

I like Kieran or Keegan more.

My nephew is a Kade

Keegan

Keller

Kellen

Kason

Karson

Thats all my brain will let me think. Stupid migraines.

Keller. It's really the only boy name with a K that I like. Or maybe Kip?

kajaguru · October 2015

I like it. Kellen is nice too.

leasaj · October 2015

Konnor, Kolin, Karson, Kade, Kayden

I always see Cade but think Kade is ok. I wouldn't use Killian, because I just wouldn't pick anything starting with Kill, but I really like Kellen. If different but not confusing. I also suggest Kai, but it doesn't really work with Jay.
