    What do you think of Cain?

    Well, i am having a hard time finding a name for a baby boy. My hubby wants our future son's name to be Cain. I am hesitant because based from what i read, it doesn't good. What do you think? Should i add another name? Help please.

    I like it, and yes the story behind it is terrible...But if you both love it go for it, a meaning means nothing because in the end it is your child that will shape their personality and I don't think the meaning will dictate who they are if that makes any sense.

    Though I do prefer the spelling Kane.

    I like the sound, but I agree, the story is very tragic. I agree with @sunshine kid, though--I love the spelling Kane, and I think it gets rid of the Cain and Abel associations, at least on paper.

    Good luck!

    I actually can't stand the Kane spelling. It's a very trendy, bratty type of name around here. Same goes for Zane.

    Cain looks exponentially nicer, but I still wouldn't use it because of the bible story.

    I really hate the name Cain because of the bible story and because of Candy canes/old people canes/cane sugar. It's an outdated name and shouldn't be used. Kane could eliminate those associations, but people will spell it Cain when they hear it.

    Cain is one of those names that just shouldn't be used.

    I really don't think Cain is usable. More specifically, I don't think Cain should be used.

    If you love the sound but want to avoid burdening your son with such a negative association, I'd opt for Kane or Caine instead.

    Caine looks somewhat better to me. It's not my favorite at all, but i guess i can see the appeal on aesthetic grounds.

    I really like the name, but I also prefer the spelling Kane. I also prefer Kane for a girl.

    I wouldn't use it, I think it's just not worth it imo.

    I'd rather, Cade, Cale, Zane before Cain.

    Cane or Kane is much better, but still, not worth it imo.
