  1. My four year old son is Cain. My husband and I loved the name as it is pretty uncommon, but not unusal or hard to pronounce! We are non-religious and thought we might get some negative feedback from religious individuals, but that wasn’t the case and so far everyone has seemed to really like it.

    • I dislike the name Cain and the reason why is because he’s the first ever person to have committed homicide. He’s the first ever murderer to have existed. Cain murdered his brother Abel by stoning him to death as a result of jealousy.

  2. My husband’s last name was Cain, we decided that our son would take my name. We didn’t like this name as a first name, plus it could get a little weird. So we decided it would be his middle name! the best choice ever! He loves to tell people about his middle name when they ask and wears it with pride.

    • I dislike the name Cain and the reason why is because he’s the first ever person to have committed homicide. He’s the first ever murderer to have existed. Cain murdered his brother Abel by stoning him to death as a result of jealousy. I’m glad your son likes his name though.
