Popular & Trendy Baby Girl Names That Start With K
* Kayla & Kaylee. Kayla is currently the most popular K baby girl name in the United States-- #26 in 2006. Kaylee isn't too far behind at #42, and if you count the many alternate spellings such as Kayleigh and Kailey, it's probably more popular than Kayla. The names roughly originate from a Gaelic name that means "slender and fair." Kayla exploded onto the scene in the 1980s, followed quickly by Kaylee.
* Kaitlyn/ Katelyn. Along with Kayla, Kaitlyn rose out of nowhere in the 1980s and has been trendy ever since. Kaitlyn was #41 in 2006, while Katelyn was #61-- and like Kaylee, this name has endless spelling variations. Kaitlyn originates from the same source as the more classic Katherine, and means "pure."
* Kimberly. This 1970s superstar name is going strong at #58, and it seems likely that we'll have plenty of Kims around for some time. Kimberly originates from an Old English place name.
* Katherine, Katie, & Kate. These classic names are among the most popular in the United States. Katherine weighed in at #36 in 2006, and its diminutives Katie and Kate ranked highly as stand-alone names as well. Like Kaitlyn, Katherine means "pure."
* Kylie & Kylee. Parents looking for an alternative to Kaylee have gone the Kylie route, but now that name has become trendy too. In 2006, Kylie was at #66, and Kylee was at #146. Kyla's also becoming a favorite at #204, and some parents are going for the masculine Kyle.
* Kennedy & Kendall. The last-name-turned-first-name trend is all the rage, and these Gaelic names are solid examples of this trend. Kennedy was #115 in 2006, and Kendall was #148. If you like the sound of these names and want something a little less trendy, try Kendra.
* Kiara. At #185, Kiara's not as popular as names like Kaylee, but it's also a name that rose out of nowhere to become a stylish choice. Kiara comes from a Gaelic name that means "black."
* Kelsey. Kelsey's an interesting study in name trends. It was a top 20 name in the late 1980s and 1990-- perhaps seen as an alternative to the 1970s star Kelly-- and then started falling pretty quickly. Kelsey comes from a Gaelic name that means "victorious ship."
Classic Baby Girl Names That Start With K
* Kristina & Kristen/Kristin. Along with Christina and Christine, these Christian names climb up and down the name charts, but they never completely fall from favor. The Scandinavian Kirsten is a classic choice as well.
* Karen. Unlike other popular Baby Boomer names, like Linda and Barbara, Karen still sounds fresh, and in fact is still fairly popular at #173. Karen is from a Scandinavian name that means "pure" and has origins similar to Katherine. For a more modern twist, try Karina. Kara, a 1970s favorite, is falling from favor.
* Karla. The female form of Karl is always a perennial favorite. Similar choices include Karolina and Karlissa.
Unusual Baby Girl Names That Start With K
* Kai. This name (which rhymes with "shy" and "fly") is slowly moving up the charts and may eventually become trendy, but in the meantime it's a chic alternative to more popular K choices. Like the Baby Boomer name Kay, Kai comes from a Latin word that means "happy."
* Kaliyah. This Arabic name comes from Kalila, a name that means "beloved."
* Keisha. Pronounced KEY-sha, this name was a popular African American choice in the 1970s but has fallen from favor. Keisha is an Arabic name that means "alive and well."
* Katrina. Sadly, this pretty Scandinavian version of Katherine seems doomed to obscurity, as who wants to name their child after one of the worst disasters in American history? Katarina is a less stormy alternative.
