Poetic and easy to pronounce (it's keets), this is one of many poets' names to consider, such as Auden, Eliot, Frost, Byron, Lorca, Marlowe, Blake, Emerson and Tennyson. Likely meaning "kite", in reference to the bird of the same name, it could also be used as a nickname to Keaton, or as an alternative to vintage Kit.

Keats is both poetic and easier to pronounce (it's keets) than Yeats (which is yates).

Keating is familiar as a surname but unexpected as a first. It boasts the always energetic -ing ending.
