This variant spelling offers a fresh take on a familiar classic, providing distinction while maintaining instant recognizability. The single 'k' gives it a streamlined, international feel that works across multiple languages and cultures. It's sophisticated without being pretentious, strong without being harsh. The name carries an artistic sensibility, perhaps because it feels slightly bohemian compared to more traditional spellings. Parents often choose this version when they want something recognizable but not generic, classic but not common. It translates well into various nicknames while standing perfectly on its own, offering flexibility as your child grows and develops his own identity and preferences.
