I think Cain sounds like a strong name. I like its length, its meaning and the fact that it could easily suit a variety of personalities. I'll admit that the biblical association is pretty dark, but that doesn't have to affect the name as a whole. It's not like the biblical Cain is the only Cain that every existed. There are plenty of kind, goodhearted Cains; and, in contrast, there are many bad people who share names with honorable biblical figures. And there are several people who are not named Cain that have killed their brothers. That's proof that a name does not determine an individual's personality. Overall, I think Cain is a cool name with a unique vibe. And if your name is Cain, don't let anyone tear you down because of one negative Cain that lived some 2,000 years ago. Prove them wrong and show them that there are plenty of good Cains out there.
CAINThe fact was correct that he offered plant-based foods to God while Abel offered meat to God. Cain didn’t offer at the right TIME when he should have. God accepted Abel’s offering because of first fruits (first gift from God) while Cain offered the latter part of God’s gifts to him. It’s like saying “Thank you” one year later instead of immediately upon receiving the first gift. So God did not reject Cain’s offering because of the plant-based foods instead of meat. It was the TIMING of the offering to God that was important.
Sorry this name is awful. Even if you don't think about the Biblical (which are kind of important, seeing as that's where the name originates), it sounds like the name of a pro wrestler... or an old man's cane that he might use to whack little, obnoxious children. If you want a name like Cain, just go with Kane, which sounds the same but has a completely different meaning.
I think Cain is a cool, sexy and suave name to use on a boy. Most people, like me, don't really associate names with the bible unless it's something like Jesus.
In Skulduggery Pleasant, Stephanie "names" herself Valkyrie Cain, after Skulduggery told her that she has a penchant for "raising Cain" (meaning that she can cause trouble easily).
Cain gives people a pretty bad impression. Otherwise, it's a nice name. I think God created more people after he made Adam and Eve, but I'm not sure (obviously).
Well, we don't know if Abel ever had a wife (but Seth did). But the Bible says Adam and Eve had other sons AND daughters (they need to enable italics on this site). So, where do YOU think Cain and Seth got their wives?
