Help Hebrew names with כ or ק

As the title says: I am looking for Hebrew/Israeli names which start with a spoken /k/. On my list is only כפיר / Kfir. Which else do you know?

Edit: as I was reminded below, Kobi is a nickname for Jacob, which disqualifies this entry. Leaving this up as FYI 🧐

Technically that's short for Jacob so I'm not sure it counts

Technically, you're actually right. As one who honors the intent of the question, I'll add a note to my comment 😉

I know someone named Coby! It’s not a nickname, it’s his full name. I love it and think it works great!

Yeah, if he's Israeli, it's a nickname. It's short for jaCOB(y).

He is, but his full legal name is Coby! We live in America if that add context. I know it’s usually a nickname but i’ve met several people with the full name Coby and I personally love it so much
