Keanu for boy name?
| Mon, 12-26-2005 - 3:10pm |
Hello. kind of new here..
I have always liked the name 'Keanu'. It means cool breeze over the mountain. I'm just not sure if it sounds too commercial given that it became popular because of 'Keanu Reeves'.
Other alternatives: "Keone" meaning: "Gods gracious gift" or so I was told.. It is also the Hawaiian form of "John"
What do you think?
Thanks = )

I like Keone...Keanu instantly makes me think Reeves but Keone is very nice!!!

I really like both names you picked. I think people will think of the actor when they first hear it, especially since it's an unusual name that became pretty well-known. But I don't think that's a reason not to use it... though you may deal with the occasional obnoxious person that asks if you're a big Matrix fan.
One suggestion: reading your post I remembered a boy I had a crush on in second grade, and his name was Kean (pronounced KEE-ahn). I guess like Keanu without the u. I always thought this was a really cool name, but I guess you'd have the problem of people calling him Kean (rhymes with Dean).
Good luck with whatever you choose!

I would go with Keone. It's beautiful and Keanu is too close of an association with the actor.
