I thougt that it was "Kain and Abel". Cain with K, if you understand.

It's the name of my brother, but we spell it 'Caine'.
-- Druid 2/10/2006
Cain can also be spelled Kaine, like Kaine from the Ying Yang Twins.

It's too bad the Biblical association is kind of negative, because I think this name is really cute otherwise!

I love the name Cain, also because Cain Heargraves (the main character of "God Child", a manga by Kaori Yuki) is fantastic.

I don't like this name. Where did Cain and Abel's wives come from? I've always wondered this.
-- xKatiex 9/27/2006
Well, we don't know if Abel ever had a wife (but Seth did). But the Bible says Adam and Eve had other sons AND daughters (they need to enable italics on this site). So, where do YOU think Cain and Seth got their wives?

Aside from the somewhat negative bibical associactions, this name has a very cool sound.

Cain gives people a pretty bad impression. Otherwise, it's a nice name. I think God created more people after he made Adam and Eve, but I'm not sure (obviously).

In Skulduggery Pleasant, Stephanie "names" herself Valkyrie Cain, after Skulduggery told her that she has a penchant for "raising Cain" (meaning that she can cause trouble easily).

Cain is also a Welsh female name pronounced KIGN, meaning beautiful.

Cain Marko, a Marvel Comics character best known as X-Men foe ''Juggernaut''.
-- FMRadio 5/10/2008
No one should have this name. The biblical association is horrible and "raising Cain" conjures up a nasty image.

Cain Nightlord is a villain in the series "Trinity Blood." As in the Biblical story, he kills his brother Abel.

I think Cain is a cool, sexy and suave name to use on a boy. Most people, like me, don't really associate names with the bible unless it's something like Jesus.
-- D.Scott 1/27/2009
I like it, and I wonder how strong the Biblical associations are.
-- Aureliano 3/2/2010
Quite frankly, I don't care about Cain in the Bible. Christianity is detestable. Cain is a cute name.
-- Anonymous User 7/17/2010
Sorry this name is awful. Even if you don't think about the Biblical (which are kind of important, seeing as that's where the name originates), it sounds like the name of a pro wrestler... or an old man's cane that he might use to whack little, obnoxious children. If you want a name like Cain, just go with Kane, which sounds the same but has a completely different meaning.

The first Cain was a murderer.
-- fugfacedmermaid 12/27/2014
Cain is a VERY sexy name for a guy! ;)
