Team Blue here, just wanted some opinions on this name! TIA

Meh...Not a fan... it could work as a middle name though!

I have a friend who named her DS Ehukai (it is a Hawaiian name, which they are) and he goes by Kai. I really like it, very cute.

We definitely like it as a first name, not a mn. And we just like Kai, not short for anything. I never know if people in real life are giving you honest opinions of names, or if they tell you they like it just to be polite.

I like it. My goddaughter's name is Kaia, and I'm a fan either way. It's cute!

i love it, which is odd for me, because I'm more of the Joshua/Michael/Ethan/Thomas type.

I guarantee you that most people do not know that my friend's baby is Ehukai, they just assume his full name is Kai. I have never heard anyone say anything bad about it! There is nothing wrong with it, even if it is not everyone's style, so if you love it for a full first name then go for it!

LOVE Kai- is one of my favorites!

It's ok. It's nms at all. I had a neighbor named Kai and he was pretty cute so that's the only association I have with the name.

You do expect this kid to be an adult someday, right?

It's NMS, but I don't hate it. It just seems very little-boyish to me. I can't imagine it on a grown man.

Love the name Kai. That's what I wanted to name LO if it was a boy. No boy this time, but I'd love to use it the next go round!

I think this name can be kind of cute on a little boy, although I have a hard time seeing how it works for an adult. I also know four little boys at our church under the age of 3 named Kai -- all of their parents said they wanted to choose "unique" names. That didn't really work out so well for them I guess. Wink

I really like this name and would consider it for a 3rd boy if we ever have one. DH has a really good friend named Kai, but he spells it Kji. I'm not sure why he spells it that way, but the name suits him well and he is a great guy so I have a good association with it. I would stick to the normal spelling "Kai" if I used it.
