Yeah, names with random Ks look a bit trendy, even if it's a legit variation- Karolina, for example, looks like a trendification of Carolina. Not so, but I certainly prefer Carolina. It was the same thing on your list with Clara and Klara.I also am not really the person to ask because I don't like Ks much- the only K names on my list are Katherine, Katharine, Katharina, Katarina and Kathleen. I might add Katrina. Basically, if it's a variant of or nickname for Katherine, I'm a fan, otherwise, I am unlikely to like K names. This may be because of 'K makes it stronger' syndrome (by which I mean, because Ks are such a trend that everything with a K looks trendy now).Kourtney looks especially weird/off/wrong. Kourtney also looks more feminine, I think that spelling is only ever used on girls. So if you want to use Courtney on a boy, I wouldn't use a more feminine spelling variation.

Courtney or Kourtney (m): Courtney
Casey or Kasey (m/f): Casey, and only as a nn for Catherine or...for whatever it would be a nickname for on a guy.
Corey or Korey (m): Corey
Cillian or Killian (m): Cillian
Charis, Carys, or Karis (f): Carys
Clara or Klara: Clara
Cate or Kate: Kate, no matter how the full name is spelled, any spelling other than Kate looks odd and usually very cutesy (Kait?).
Catherine or Katherine: I adore both. Also love Katharine.
Ciara, Chiara, Keira or Kira: CiaraThe only names I actually like are Clara, Catherine/Katherine and its nickname Kate.

I'd pick C over K any day. I just like that letter. Also a lot of names spelled with K are originally spelled with C, although some are just variants from another language.Courtney
Casey
Corey
Cillian
Carys
Clara
Cate or Kate are fine. I like Cate better myself mostly because it looks nicer to me and isn't as common.
Catherine, but nothing wrong with Katherine
Ciara

Courtney, Casey, Cillian, Corey -- because those are traditional spellingsCharis -- because I like the look of this vs. CarysClara -- because the C looks softerKate -- because Cate just looks wrong to meKatherine -- if the nn is Kate, otherwise, Catherine is lovely as a mnCiara, Chiara, Kira -- because they're three different names with three different sources
