It’s for him to remember that no matter what this world may see him he will always be king, a King. I feel like a lot of men should be uplifted as such and should not feel bad about who they are and what nationality they come from. It’s a reminder of endearment and royalty Reply Brittney Jul 23 at 1:50 am I wanted his name to have meaning to it. And he is my first and only king Reply Danielle Jun 4 at 11:51 am King name comes from my last name and Christopher is his father first name and Jackson is his father last name so that how he got his name Reply Melissa May 10 at 3:20 am Although I don’t like King for a first name, I think it would make a unique middle name. It pretty much goes with ANY name… Rudy King , Michael King , Jonah King , Bryson King , etc. Reply Liyah Jan 4 at 7:27 am My first born, King was the only name I liked. I always wanted boys. King who is 5 and Prince who is 10 days old. They are fit for royal names. They live up to their names. There was a reason I named them King Jay’ceon and Prince Josiah ? Reply Micheiliz Dec 9 at 1:57 pm My son name is King-Xavion I call his dad my king and his dad gave my the best gift in the world which was our son he didn’t wanna name him after himself so I named him King-Xavion Enrique I gave our son his middle name Reply Ciarra Nov 13 at 10:53 am I liked king because it was a royal name, and it was also different Reply Jasmine Aug 31 at 1:14 pm I picked king and my son name cuz being at 23wreks he had to fight for his place as a king n my baby is a fighter Reply Cora Aug 29 at 10:45 pm Its actually King-Noah. Noah was the first name that popped up in my head. Then came along King. So i put them together as King-Noah Reply Niecy Aug 14 at 4:29 am We choose the name king because I have always loved that name .king is a good baby I just love his little life Reply Jill Jul 20 at 11:18 am We named our son King because he is our first boy. He is also our last baby. My husband and I made an agreement that he would name the boys and I would name the girls. So 3 girls later he finally got to name a boy. We also chose the name because it is strong and yet humble. His middle name is Solomon. Solomon is one of our favorite people in the Bible. He was full of wisdom and loved by his people. We love this name. Reply Nessness Jul 11 at 2:28 am He is a very smart,happy&loveable 2 month old!!
