Knowledge is predominantly a male name in the United States, reaching peak popularity in the 2010s. There are approximately 2,000 people named Knowledge in the US today.
As with most people whose names begin with the forcefully masculine letter K, KNDs are active people with strong minds and equally strong shoulders. There is, however, an unmistakable sense of pessimism – or is it cynicism? – that permeates their lives, and is perhaps due to the influence of the letter N -- the definitive symbol for all things negative; no, not, never, none, nyet, nada, nix, naught and nothing. On the other hand, the letter D -- the icon of dignity, discipline, divine and drive – colors these names with a distinct air of eminence and gives these people a reputation for being unyielding in their principles and beliefs.
In short, KNDs are quandaries – as much to their friends as they are to themselves. Many people report that upon first meeting a KND, they sensed a measure of conflict underlying their personalities, but at the same time were fascinated by the their obvious intelligence and indefinable mystique.
KNDs are roamers at heart and have hearts that roam. They are driven by a sense of adventure and dissatisfaction for the status quo and -- like heat-seeking missiles -- will hone in on potential “growth experiences” whenever the opportunities present themselves. They certainly know how to have a good time, but they’re definitely not frivolous. In fact, they’re so dedicated to wringing the most out of their lives that their quests lead them on adventures most of us will never experience. So don’t count on finding your KND friend in the same place (or relationship) from one year to the next. These restless individuals will stay just long enough to get antsy before moving on to the next challenge. But like most people who struggle to connect with themselves, the KNDs’ journey into self-exploration eventually pays off with a solid understanding of themselves and their place in the universe.
Autonomy is important to KNDs and because nothing bothers them more than being dependent on others, they have to feel financially independent.Their career choices usually reflect their passion for creativity and personal freedom -- writing, designing, and the culinary arts are high on their list of things to try – but they’re always careful to have something solid to fall back on.
Falling in love with a KND can be problematic if you’re looking for predictability in your life. And even though many people are drawn to their free-spirited and non-conformist ways, KNDs are apt to leave a trail of puzzled hearts in their wake. It may be hard to pin these gypsies down but it’s not unheard of for them to hit it off with the right person – togetherness (even if it’s not in the traditional sense) proves quite rewarding. KNDs will also benefit from the steadying influence of family; their children will inherit their sense of fun and adventure and enjoy a supportive, if avant-garde home environment.
