Rarely heard, and all too likely to be confused with Kevin.

Keelan is the Anglicized, phonetic form of the more traditionally-spelled Caelan, also in use. While this name is said by many sources to be unisex, in practice in modern Ireland it is only given to boys. An interesting, accessible choice largely unknown in the US.

Probably intended as a variant spelling of Kyle, this German word (meaning "wedge") is not used as a name there.

Definite twenty-first- century possibilities, with its stylish K opening, strong first syllable, and softer second.

The biblical character Kenan was a great-grandson of Adam and a direct ancestor of Noah. As in Christianity, Kenan is honored in Islam.

A rarely used member of the Ken- family, Kenelm has a rugged, surname-style feel. Borne by a 9th century martyr and a member of the Mercian royal family, it could make an intriguing namesake for a Kenneth, a Kendra, or a Kendrick.

Kent is a no-nonsense, brief, brisk one-syllable name, almost as curt as Kurt.
