We’re trekking through the alphabet in search of the perfect name for little girls, and we can’t go past K. The 11th letter has always been popular (don’t think there’s any of us that don’t know a Kate or Kim!) but there’s a wave of uber cool names like Kaia and Kenzie that have made their presence known, too.
Perhaps you’ve already got a little Kaden and want to continue the trend with siblings. Or maybe you’re stuck on choosing a baby name and you’re making your way through the alphabet, letter by letter. The good news is, whether you’re more into popular or kompletely unique girls name, K brings the best of both worlds.
We consulted our massive Mum’s Grapevine community which K monikers they recommend and here’s what they unearthed.
