I Need Help Finding the Right Names That Start with K- UPDATE!
My daughters name is Kayleigh Jolene, and our son, who is deceased, was named Kaden James. We want to keep the K names going as well as the middle name starting with the J. My husbands name is James. So for a girl name I really love Kalissa Jolie, but my husband says it sounds like clitoris, ugh!! I also Like the names Kadem, and Kason, I think Kadem honors my son but my husband is iffy on it. I also think we want to keep the middle name James for the baby if it is a boy. I would really love any name ideas that start with a K. I dont mind old fashioned, I just want "different". Thanks to anyone who can help! My eyes are killing me from looking at all the books and websites!
WoW!!!! I received a lot of feedback, more then I thought I would, lol! I loved all of the names truthfully. I would have mentioned all of the K names in my family, but we would have been here all day. Thats why it is so hard for me to pick, because everyone in my family decided to do K names! When I was preggo with Kayleigh, I was torn between her name being keleigh, and if she was a boy it was going to be Kameron. My step sis stole the name from me for her daughter, and Kaden meant fighter so thats why we named our son Kaden. SO I think for a girl we will go with either Kalissa or Karissa. My husband loves Karissa so we will see which name fits when sh/he is born, lol. If it is a boy then I think we will stick with Kameron James. Kamden, Kane, Kyle, Kelley, Kerry and a few others were already taken by family, lol. Thanks again for all the ideas, I am overjoyed to read them all!

My youngest son is Cohan.
BUT - the idea came from a little boy named Koen.
I was going to spell it Cohan or Cohen. Cohen is more of a jewish spelling and since we aren't Jewish - I spelled in Cohan. You could spell it Koen or Kohan or Kohen.
I also have a Kade.
My husband's middle name is Kent and I like that name too.

I am not good at putting names together but I like the name Kinsey and if you have a girl you could make the middle name like Jamey or Jaimy however you spell it now a days - but you could use that for a middle name for a boy or a girl and there is the name Kaleb for a boy. Anyhow there are two suggestions for you. However, I honestly believe that when you see your child all planning goes out the window and you know the name he or she should have. Best of Luck

I like Kendall James (could spell James differently if a girl) for both a girl and a boy. I love boy names for girls - my daughter is Logan. My son's middle name is James as is my father and brother. It's a strong name. I like the idea of keeping James in memory of Kaden. Congrats on your new baby!

I think keeping the middle name James is enough with regard to honoring your deceased son. If it's a girl, you could use "Jayme" or a different spelling of it to keep the "James".
Kristen, Karina, Karissa, Katina, Katlyn, Kristee, Kylee, Kristina, Kendra, or Kassandra (Kassie).
Kenneth, Kirk, or Keith are all the boy names I can think of right now. Hope this helps.
I think Kenneth James sounds great. Some other "J" names would be Joclyn, Jodee, Jayne, Joyce, Janet, Janae (I think this one sounds good w/ several of the above names I listed and my personal favorite)...Jolee, or Joy would all be options.

Sorry to say, I can not help with the K baby names. But I thought I would chime in with my two cents on the "Kadem" name. I agree with your husband about being "iffy" on that name. It sounds like a nice gesture to want to honor your child that passed on, but it seems to be to much responsibility on your new child. Your new child should be honored for being themselves and not for being a replacement of a child that was lost. I hope this doesn't seem mean. I am honestly not trying to be and apologize if I am way off base, I just wanted to share how I interpreted your posting. Good luck on the names. My husband and I didn't pick a name for our first child until after he was born. We did have it narrowed down to four names. When my daughter was born we looked for months for a name that we could agree on. I don't think we settled on her name until the week before she came and sometimes I still think she reminds me more of a Claire than what we did name her.
