Kiefer?
I've recently taken a liking to Kiefer ("KEE-fer") thanks to Caemlyn's signature =]. I just fear that it seems a little trendy. Wdyt? What are some good combos and nicknames?

I actually don't mind it, but I don't think I'd ever use it. If I did though, it would be as a mn. Kiefer is slightly trendy, thanks to Kiefer Sutherland being the famous Jack Bauer, but not too trendy that it isn't usable.

Kiefer is what you smoke out of a bong. Keifer is what you call the crystals off of marijuana buds. There's a radio DJ called Kiefer for the same reason.

I like it alright, must be because I'm canadian and actor Kiefer Sutherland is from here. I don't think it is popular or trendy

Ditto to both Melusine and DarkestCows and milk drinks. Not good.

I don't think it's too trendy, it's not even that popular. I've only known one Kiefer, and his name was Kiefer Wyatt. I must say though I don't care for it, maybe a related name like Keith would be better.

is a yummy fermented milk drink (different spelling/same prn.)That's what i think of when i hear the world. i would never use it as a name.
But, perhaps i just run around in a fermenty-happy crowd.

I actually like it - I think the sound of it is quite cute. It does sound a little nickname-y to me, but that doesn't put me off it. I also don't think its trendy, but thats probably due to the fact that I've never met a Kiefer, or heard of one being born or anything.

I beg to differ with the previous posts. I don't think it's all that ugly, although it definitely brings to mind Kiefer Sutherland when I first hear the name and I'm sure those associations are going to keep coming up everytime someone else does too.Maybe just a tad bit trendy, but I still like it. Perhaps you should use a traditional mn to even out the edges to it, though like:Kiefer Edmund
Kiefer John
Kiefer Owen
Kiefer Patrick
Kiefer Paul
Kiefer William

I think it's supremely ugly and trendy, and the first syllable is dangerously close to "queef" in my mind. May I interest you in Keith instead? :)Array

I know one child in real life named this.
To me it's too much of a celebrity name though. I would never use it.

Keef is a good nickname. I'm not big on Kiefer, because it makes me thi nk of the word heffer or reefer... yeah.I would like it in the MN spot though.Kiefer Grant comes to mind or Daniel Kiefer.
