I couldn't vote, I don't like a single one.
Kodeigh - This spelling is horrible. Cody is nice, Kody is okay but not horrible
Kyler - Okay, probably the best of the list
Kaynen - I like Kain, Kaynen sounds trendy and too close to the popular Aiden trend
Kaleb - LOVE Caleb, this spelling looks bad. Why spell it with a K? What's the point
Kollyn - Collin and Colin are great, Kollyn is HORRIBLE. Just really bad
Kamron - Again, horrible spelling. Cameron is nice
Kaycen - just bad
Koltyn - Colton is okay, a bit "hick"ish though
Kolby - I love Colby
Konner - I love Conner
Hmm... I think you really need to re-think these spellings. Changing the spelling to make it more "unique" really only makes the name look weird and brings problems for spelling.
Here are some REAL K names to consider:
Keenan
Keagan
Kieran
Kyle
Kai
Keefer
Kellin
Kirby
HTH
-Nikki
How about choosing a name that's actually supposed to start with a K instead of mutilating a name that's supposed to start with C, or just making up a heretofore nonexistent name?
Here are a few:
Kasimir
Kaspar
Keane
Keaton*
Keats*
Keegan
Keller*
Kendall
Kenyon
Kiefer
Killian
Kincaid*
Kingston
Kipling*
*I marked my favorites. Kincaid and Kipling are really great because of the cute nicknames Caid and Kip.
It may not be something you care for, but I like to come up with various ways to spell names. There is nothing wrong with being unique and there is also nothing wrong with being traditional; however, I didn't ask your opinion on the spelling of the names. I just wanted you to tell me your favorite of the ones I had chosen. I'm sorry if I am coming off with an agitated tone, but I feel that you were a little rude in your post. I do; however, appreciate your giving me some other name choices. Felicia
Is this post directed only at me, or also at the other people who've posted sentiments nearly identical to the ones I posted? And for what it's worth, I thought that my post was rather tame in comparison...it was merely a suggestion..."How about you pick a name that's actually supposed to start with a K?" I understand that tone is sometimes difficult to judge on these boards, but given the fact that you don't know me, I'd appreciate it if you'd at least give me the benefit of the doubt and assume, until you know better, that I'm not being snippy. Because in this case, I wasn't (though certainly sometimes, I admit, I am). Maybe you were just sensitive because of earlier posts...?
I am sincerely sorry that your feelings were hurt, though that was not my intention. I remember from a previous post that giving your child a name that begins with the letter K is an important tradition, and it's one that I respect. It's a special bond that you want your children to share. But I do stand by my suggestion. There are so many great K names out there that it seems an injustice to bypass them completely in favor of an invented name (I've grown up with an invented name, and believe me, it gets old having to spell and respell it for every person you meet).
And yes, like you said in your note, my intention was to offer other suggestions...I just wanted you to know why I was suggesting them. There's nothing wrong with many of the names on your list; I just happen to prefer them when they're spelled properly. But by spelling those names properly, you lose the K...so I offered more K suggestions.
I like Kainen spelt this way? What about Keenan?
Terra.
Great! Certainly, there's no ill will on my end either; I'm just glad we understand one another. Women on this board tend to tell it like it is, unless you direct them otherwise. We are, however, generally sensitive to posters who ask us not to comment on the names themselves...so if you're not up for negative comments, you may want to add a note to that effect in your original post. Just a thought. And just so you know, we can take it as well as we can dish it out; I just had someone remark that one of the names I just love isn't pretty at all (on my Say/Think post in the Games section). So feel free to tell us what you think, too!
And if you'd like more K suggestions, I'd be glad to think on it and get back to you. I would never have responded as I did had you told me that you were just in love with one of the names and that you were dead-set on using it. I thought you were just throwing around possibilities. Like I said, my objection wasn't to the whole idea of using K names in general...I'm just sensitive to quirky spellings because I've dealt with it all my life. Plus, I think that adding Ys, etc. to male names makes them look effeminate, which is generally considered to be bad. But like I said, I meant it as a suggestion only, and not as a put-down or as a comment on your K tradition.
I wish you loads of happiness while you're busy growing Kortlyn's little brother or sister, and definitely let us know what you decide on! Do you have a name for a little girl, yet? Or maybe you mentioned it already and I forgot...?
