The Hoarder's List of Names

Kaius is a K-ization of the Latin Caius, the name of an ancient poet, introduced by style maven Rachel Zoe. More recently, it was used by Derek Jeter for his son.

Kaiya reached a peak of Number 652 in 2002. This spelling performs worse than its sisters Kaia and Kaya, and it likely creates more pronunciation confusion.

Kaleb is one of several boys' names starting with k that started life as a classic C name, Caleb. Kevin Federline named his boy Kaleb Michael Jackson.

Kalenah, another form of Kalena, may have a variety of possible derivations, though we see it as one of the many descendants of Katherine.

Name with genuine roots that nevertheless feels synthetic.

Original form of the more familiar Calliope, the muse of epic poetry.

Spirit that protects babies from illness...and surname of designer Naomi.

Lush and unusual.

This spelling variation of Cameron was briefly popular for girls back in the late 90s, however, it has since fallen out of favor. While it appears in the Top 1000 for boys in the US, Cameron, Camryn, or Kamryn are preferred for girls.

As a Top 600 name for girls for more than 20 years, Kamryn has become a widely-accepted version of the original Cameron. It also ranks just below the Top 1000 for boys too, though it is used three times more often on girls.

A favorite Muslim name, Kareem first appeared on the US Top 1000 list in 1972 (jumping in at Number 405!), coinciding with the early career of basketball great turned writer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (born Lewis Alcindor). It has continued to chart every year since.
