My boyfriend (the babys father) wants to name the baby if its a boy Keane Riley. I don't mind Riley cuz that was my boys name, but he doesn't want riley to be the babys first name. I don't like Keane. He wants to name the baby a German name. I suggested Lukas. He said it reminds him too muck of lucifer. I said how? And he said L-U-C. I told him that thats not the way I was gonna spell Lukas. I was gonna spell it with a k not a c. Any other German names? the babys last name is gonna be Loyd.

Keane is a German name. I have a baby name book that has it listed as German.

First of all, a name which is more than one syllable sounds better with a monosyllabic last name, which Loyd is.
Neither Keane or Riley are German names.
Here's a good starting point to look for German names:

I have a friend from Germany who is named Maika (she's a girl but I like the name for a boy too. I can only find it listed as "Miccah" as a Hebrew origin) My husband really liked "Gustav" when we were trying to find a name for our baby.
Alot of names have questionable origins. Some books or websites will list them as German or Latin or American or Hebrew. In reality, alot of these languages overlap and the orgins are really blurry. Just find a name you both like that sounds like German to you and don't worry about everyone else. (I found my son's name "Aidan" listed as Gailic, Irish, and Hebrew in various places)

Any other German names for a boy? Aren't you being somewhat naive in asking such a question?
