Kurt Cobain often spelled his name Kurdt. If I ever named my son Kurt (Kurdt), it would only be because of him.

Another famous bearer of this name is Kurt Vonnegut, the author of books such as "Slaughterhouse-Five" and "Cat's Cradle".

An elegant name, I think of Kurt(s) as being very serious but not a wet blanket. I imagine them having either a German or French accent. I don't think you can be American and be named Kurt, that could just be me. Another Kurt is Kurt Wagner, aka Nightcrawler of X-Men fame.

Kurt also means "Wolf" in Turkish.

This is a beautiful legit name, but for the next ten years at least, it will be connected with Kurt Cobain. This is not necessarily a bad thing but it is a little depressing.

It's my brother's name! I chose it for him! Well I think Kurt is a cute name especially for a little charming boy! But it definitely doesn't suit a little devil.

Also Kurt Wagner, also known as the Amazing Nightcrawler! My favorite of the X-Men by far.

I would name my son Kurt after Kurt Vonnegut (famous author) or Kurt Cobain. I think this is a good name for a little boy or a man.

This name is too heavily associated with Kurt Cobain to be used anymore.

-- bananarama 10/9/2008

I don't associate it with Kurt Cobain at all, it's definitely not the first thing I think of, and I'm pretty sure it's still usable.

-- silly_rabbit 12/4/2008

The name is beautiful, it sounds masculine yet delicate. It is strongly associated with Kurt Cobain and will be associated with him - parents should decide whether they like it or not. I personally think that to name children after talented and kind people is a good thing.

My name is Kurt and I was named after a baseball player, "Dirty" Kurt Bevacqua who played for the KC Royals when my parents chose it.

I like this name, it's very masculine. Kurt Cobain isn't the first thing I think of when I hear this name.
