Help[Opinions] Kajun?
The company I work for puts out a weekly newsletter. In this week's it mentioned a fellow employee's son had just come back from Iraq. It listed his name as Kajun. I asked and this is indeed his name, with the middle name Kristopher. The father told me that he thought the C's looked too "soft"
Opinions? Love it? Hate it?
BTW, the father is from Louisana, so that's where the name came from.

Ew.
Since Cajun comes from the word Canadian / Canadien, it would be like naming a boy "Kanada." Horrible.
I wouldn't particularly like Cajun as a fn, so misspelling it only makes matters worse.

Well, me being me...I like the name. And it flows well to my ears. Although I do prefer Cajun to Kajun.

Dislike it.
It's no worse than Roman or German, I suppose, but Cajun sounds like it'd be someone's informal nickname--more along the lines of Sparky or Shorty than Joe or Andy, you know?
And I think the idea that K's somehow look--well, presumably more tough and masculine?--than C's is stupid. If I had to be named Cajun Christopher, rather than being named something like Christopher-called-Cajun, I'd want it to be spelled correctly.
