This is a nice name, but it’s the name of the weird guy in Gilmore Girls so now when I hear the name, I think of someone strange. However, Kirk is one of my favorite characters.
I think this name is really cute! It seems appropriate for a male at any stage in his life without sounding too babyish or old mannish. This name is also better sounding than Kurt/Curt. Pretty simple but not boring.
By no means is this one of my favorite names but it is simple and unique. I could see where people are coming from if they say it sounds too much like a nickname though. But overall I think it’s a good option when it comes to shorter uncommon names.
When I hear the name Kirk I first think of Kirk Douglas. Great actor, not bad looking either. Secondly, I think of Captain James T. Kirk of Star Trek fame. Both men have swagger, confidence, EGO (possibly unchecked) and a way with the ladies. So why wouldn't you want to name your son Kirk? He will probably be on the dramatic side though.
Love it. Wanted a short, simple name to call my son. Thought of Luke. So glad I didn't as 2 of my coworkers named their boys that the same year. Kirk isn't so common and sounded great with his first name Robert. Named after Dodger baseball player Kirk Gibson.
This is definitely an awesome name! I'm gonna have to add it to my list (: I think it's a really hot name probably because of my impression of any Kirk I've ever heard of has been really good looking and nice. Any how, it's a really cool and unique name, and I would definitely use it!

My dad's name is Kirk. It's an unusual sounding name, but not crazy and weird, which makes it memorable.
I really don't like this "name". It sounds so ugly and harsh. And in Scottish dialect, it's just the everyday word for church. "Ye go to Kirk much?" is "do you go to church often?" in Doric dialect. (I'm not Scottish, but where I live people speak in a similar dialect, so I can understand a'that :P).

Kirk Thornton is a popular voice actor for anime and videogames, voicing characters such as Don Patch from Bobobo, Kisame from Naruto, Jet Link from Cyborg 009, Jin from Samurai Champloo, Saix from Kingdom Hearts, and many more.
If this isn't one of my favorite names, then this IS my favorite boys' name. It makes a kick @$$ first or middle name!

Very random, very awkward, and very comedic resident of Star's Hallow on "Gilmore Girls". Always seems to be an important member of every new odd committee that suddenly forms and has a different unusual job in every appearance on the show that makes him somehow coincidentally interact with the main characters. In my opinion, one of the most lovable characters on the show (when I regularly watched the show, which I sadly haven't in a while, he was my second favorite character-- after Jess).
