I like it too, though slightly prefer the Kane spelling.

Though I'm not against it, I'm surprised it's ever made the popularity charts. It's rising in popularity in the US, and it previously reached a peak at #184 in the UK.

It's romantic for an aesthetic which is not my aesthetic, but which I suppose I can still appreciate. :P You know what? I think I've always thought that romance is fine when it's my aesthetic, but stupid when it's other people's. But how could that be true?~libra getting confused about the nature of opinion~

I like the sound...but the association? My family would simply not hear of it. Even if spelled Kane.

Kane even has a violent meaning: little battle. :/

The original murderer, according to the bible: the curse of Cain, the mark of Cain.
Cain Marko is a villain from the X-men comics.
It rhymes with pain, bane, and insane.
Also it makes me think of caning...and sugar cane and slavery.I guess it'd be okay if I didn't associate it with any of those things...but I do.

Biblical references aside, I don't think this name shouldn't be unpopular.

I would like it but I think the Biblical Cain is too much of an impediment.
