I am religious and I still love the name Kane. Kane > Cain for sure.

Every time I see it, I read Kanye, although I guess this is a personal problem.

nope, this has different origins. Cain is the evil one, Kane isnt.

Evil man name transformed into a K- start. Not so great.

We're planning on naming our baby boy Kane. We find it to be a powerful, masculine name. Simple but unique. We're very excited to meet our little Kane in a couple months!

I named my son Kane. He is 5 and I've found most people don't even think of Cain and Able. A lot of people tell me they like the name and the spelling

My husband loves this name but it comes with a stigma -- Cane and Abel from the Bible. We like the spelling of Kane and we are not religious, so we're hoping that people will get past the religious stigma if we use it.
