Kai meaning

I'm considering this unique name for my son due in October. I grew up with an unusual first name and I love it, I'm sure he'll appreciate this name - there are plenty out there that are worse!

Kai is the name my husband chose for our beautiful son. He is now 11 and he loves his name. He is the only one at school with this name and to him thats pretty cool.

My name is Kai Hannah and i am a 18 year old female from Australia i love my name my mum named me Kai after the youngest daughter in the 1st version of 'The king and I' alot of people when'they 1st read my name think its 'Kia' or 'Kay' i also get the 'hi Kai' 'bye Kai' jokes i also get alot of people telling me it means food in New Zealand i just tell them it means alot of things in alot of languages, i have never met another girl named Kai but i have met a few guys with the name

We named our first son Kaiden who will be 7 years old soon. We almost feel that we were the first ones to name our child this since we have not met or read about any other child with this name older than our son. We love the name however we chose it for its uniqueness. I wish everyone would stop using it.

i love the name kai its so unusual and great. i rate it 10/10. as well as being a great name it also have a great meaning too

My eleven year old dog is called Kai, i think It's a very strong, handsom name--I also beli've it means keeper of the keys.

i love the name Kai but my older'sons name is Jai! lol so my son to bes middle name will be kai. i love the name! his first name will be saber which means sword, so he will either be an ocean sword or a fire sword, depending which meaning you use :)

strong sounding name! Im pregnant now and will be naming my son "Kai"

I really like the name Kai. Honestly, I think It's a unisex name because I like it for a girl too. I have a friend and her name is Kai.

my cousin is called kai. its a really cool name once It'sticks.

i love the name kai. It's my 4 year old sons name it means willow tree in native american!

My Sons name is Kai and I love it ... the meaning was the key reason for picking it. We went to Hawaii while my wife was preganant so it was very fitting.

As a kid, I used to hate my name. With all the Ashley's, Jennifer's and Katies I did not fit in. But now I love it. My mother thought she made it up putting together the first letters of the names of my grandmothe's and herdelf - Katherine, Alexandra and Ines. I'm the only girl I know with my name and shame on you people who have nasty things to say about it!

My name is Kai and I love it. Meaning Ocean/Water in Hawaiian/Islander, Food in Maori, and other things in other tongues. Stong, individual, getting a little too trendy, but still good. Forget those people that'say Terrible.

My husband and I are planning to name our son, Kai as well. It's very unique and definitely uncommon.

my name is kai, im 15. ive only ever met 1 person with the'same name. its an awesome name and people love it. although often mispernounced it is an awesome name i am proud to have

my son and uncle are both named Kai, we are africans and it means strong warriore, i love the name and i was proud giving it to my son

I am expecting and will deliver in June, i've always loved the name "Kai" for a boy, but I had 2 girls. My husband and I decided that if this baby is a girl, her name will be Morgan Kai.

i have never met anyone with this name apart from the little boy in 'maid in manhatton'! if i have a little boy in the future i would love to call him kai...its unusual and unique and i love it!!

my sons name is Isiah Kai. i love that name it is really beautiful

My husband and I are naming our first child (a son) Kai! What a beautiful, unique name.

My son's name is Kai(he's 3) and we ever often len'then his name to include his middle name Noah as well. We were very 'sea' themed at the time. The only problem I have with the name Kai is that'some people assume it is short for Kyle.

were naming our son this, he is du in october...we love it!

My little boy is called Cai spelt with a "C" I love it.

My son name is Kai and I see nothing but calmness when I look into his eyes. I know I chose the best name from him.

We named our now 6 month old son that, we saw it and loved it right away, wveryone else seems to love it as well

My son's name is Kai. We chose it because of the numerous meaning and the fact that they all have pretty positive spins.

My four year old son's name is Kai. I absolutely love it and he gets the best compliments on it all the time. It is a strong name with some beautiful meanings...I have even seen a Scottish version meaning 'fire'.

I named my son Kai in 1998 in spite of opposition from his mother. He is now 20 years old and absolutely loves the name and feels very fortunate that I chose it for him. I was originally inspired by the richness and nobility in the role of Kai played by the late Michael Gothard in the 1982's show 'Arthur Of The Britons'. I always understood it to be of Viking origin meaning 'Dance Of Rejoicing' which is exactly how I felt when he was born.

There's a kid in my class with the name Kadeem, but he doesn't like it. he'said it meant something bad, but I couldn't find anything about it...

Kai is my 4-year old daughter's name. It'suits her. From jumpstreet, however, people have misspelled her name (as Kia). So now, when someone asks her name I say it and spell it, all in one sentence.

My grandson's name is Kai, born August 2019, in Okinawa Japan to American (father) and Japanese (mother). Beautiful name and baby.

My son is called Kai he is 6 now. I always get good feedback about the name. I like the pronouciation of it and what it means which is 'sea'. My son says it is 'COOL'!! By Kai and mum

Named my one and only Child, a Boy KAI! Fell in love with the name years before I ever thought I would have a child. So when I became pregnant, and found out I was having a Boy..it was my Only choice. My son is now 3 1/2 and Fits him perfectly! He loves his name and everyone says it fits him! We call him KAI KAI (prior referred to him as BABYKAI) easy to spell and also chosen for the Hawaiian name meaning OCEAN....We sing to him and so many words to Rhyme Kai WITH ;)

my cousins name is kai and idk if he really likes it but its perdy unusual

I love the name Kai.. I think that it is different, and I haven't met anyone with this name... I am 8 months pregnant, and am thinking of name my son Rowan Kai. What do you all think of this name❤️ Just curious.

I never really meet people with my name, but I have met one or two people,they both were boys and I'm a girl.People usually wanna spell it Kia and pronounce it kye-ah but its pronounced kaheye like kite with out the "t"

Kai is my sons name. His Middle name is Xavier. I love this name, it is unique and inter'sting. It will also be easy for him to spell when he learns to write his name. My husband and I couldn't have picked a better name.

This name Cameron is lovely for both sex's, but the meaning is awful. once a child in school knows the meaning the poor child 'Cameron' will be tormented!

Kai seems like such a powerful name. Almost like a king's name. When I first heard that name, I imagined someone who's tall, muscular, highly intelligent, & extremely good looking! A real manly man. LOL! I'm surpised that'so many girls have that name. Still, when I have my son, I will name him Kai WillI'm (WillI'm after my dad's name).

i just name my son born 3/3008 kai b4 i named him this i had never heard the name'since then i am hearing it..maybe i just pay more attention now.. but i still love the name unique w/out being out there

beyblade character kai is my favourite it means ocean and i love water

Great name! Short, strong but sweet. My son will be Kai:)

Few characters in Power Rangers or more often'the Japanese Super'sentai from which Power Rangers came go by this name. There was that brat-of-a-son of Bandora's going by Kai in Zyuranger and he was killed by a dinosaur before his mother'swore revenge by selling her'soul to Great Satan and becoming a witch (we would know this witch all too well as the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers villainess Rita Repulsa and Great Satan also made his way into the MMPR universe where his name was now Lokar - and he'sounded just like Lord Zedd!). Then'there was Kai Chen/Blue Galaxy Ranger in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy (his Sentai counterpart from Seiju Sentai Gingaman in 2010 is Gouki/GingaBlue), and last but not least there was KaI'magiRed from the original Japanese incarnation of Power Rangers Mystic Force, 2017's Mahou SentaI'magiranger, the third all-sibling team in Super'sentai (the late Machiko Soga, aka Bandora in Zyuranger, had he'self made a cameo appearance in Magiranger as Heavenly Arch Saint Magiel - and Magiel ended up crossing over into the Mystic Force world as a now-reformed Rita Repulsa, now called the "Mystic Mother").

My second son's name is Jakai, but he often is called Kai by family and friends. I love the name, always have. It fits him well being that I recently discovered that JakaI'means "He who troubleth" in Hebrew. he'sure is a handful :) I thought that adding the "Ja" on KaI'made it unique and able to use the name Kai at will being that I love It'so much!

My wife and I will name our son Kai. The people that have a problem with the name have to be shallow and uncultured because if they had any ounce of intelligence they would love the name. I bet Kai sounds better than the name of any of the people that have something derogatory to say about it.

My new baby boy is called Kai and it means 'The'sea' in Hawaiian and 'food' or 'to gather food' in Maori. It is a simple and exotic name which means many things in many different cultures. It is also a Japanese name, which I beli've means 'The Earth'. It also means 'plentiful' in China.

In Chinese the name 'Kai' means victory, trI'mph and it pronunce the way 'sky' without the 's' as some buddy had said on this board. Supprise to know it has so many hits in other language and culture with positive meaning.

I love the name Kai also. My boy is due in september. i've been calling him kai for months now. I get different reactions from people. Mostly positive. i've gone through baby name books by the dozen and It's by far the best name! I love it!

The name Kaiden is a Gaelic name that has origin in Scotland and Ireland. In scotland the Gaelic translation is 'warrior' and i beli've in Ireland it is 'Fighter'

I was born in 1988 in Germany and I am very happy that my parents gave me the name Kai (k-eye). It is a fairly common name in Germany. I love it and always had a very positive response regarding it. I was told that It's origin is Northern Europe but since I live in Canada I realized that it is also common in Hawaii as well as China. The last name of a friend of mine is Kai and he is Chinese. People that'say it does not sound like a real name need to know that this name goes back as far as the time of the Viking Age (700 to 1100).

My son's name is Kai. I chose it because it had so many positive meanings across at least 10 languages. It is simple, strong, easy to spell, and I couldn't rhyme it with anything gross! he'stands out as unique, but not "strange." For him It's perfect...(How can you judge a name without seeing who it belongs to❤️)

my son's name is kai, its becoming popular here in scotland, and everyone loves it. its a strong name and everyone we meet absolutely loves our chose of name, wouldnt change it for the world

im havin a baby in 3 wks and calling him kai i love his name

My son who is 7 years old is called Kai. We love the name as it is very contempory and catchy. It means the'sea in hawaiian which is probably why he loves playing at the beach where we live!

My son's name :-) It is so lovely! A strong and beautifully sounding name! It is short, clear, easy to pronounce in any language. It has so many and only positive meanings. The name Kai is also historical. Caius, from where Kai originates, was a very common name in the Roman Empire. Famous bearers were Caius Julius Caesar, Pope Caius (283-296), etc. The name Kai could sound historic but also very modern, charming and masculine. What a smart and original name! Kai is the name of the boy in the "Snow Queen" fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. Some celebrities have kids or grandkids named Kai - Jennifer Connely, Cindy Crawford, Donald Trump, etc.

Kai, for those not familiar with polynesia, is pronounced "kigh." It is not pronounced like the letter "k" and it means ocean in Hawaiian. It is a beautiful and common name in Hawaii and I am insulted by the closed mindedness of the person is sid it was "terrible."

Our one year old son is called Kai. He loves food so It'suits him well. His dad is part chinese so thats another reason It'suits him. In Navajo Indian it means willow, Kai cries alot so weeping willow spings to mind.

My son's name is Kai. He was born in February of 2010. It was really not common then. My husband's family had not met me yet and assumed that because we were naming our son Kai, then I'must be ethnic. Not so! And actually my husband picked the name out, there was body builder named Kai being profiled in one to his body building magazines. Everyone usually assumes that I am calling him Kai, short for Kyle, or that I am saying Kyle. I ended up loving it because of the meanings. Mainly since it means ocean and I grew up in Florida. At the beach every weekend. He has never been made fun of. And God knows our entire community knows who Kai is, because he is the only one!

my four year old daughter is also named KAI I think it is definitly unisex name because there are so many meanings I liked that it meant Ocean or Sea in hawaain since I had already determined Soleil which is french for sun would be her middle name. whenever we have a doctor or dentist appt she is almost always called KIA and I hate that but I expect it either that or they just call out her last name

My son is called Kai and is 7 years old, born in the year 2012. I think It's a cool name and he really suits it. People do spell his name incorrectly,spelling it Kia, which makes no sense to me at all!

Very strong. A little less common than John and more sophisticated sounding. I'm a pretty regular guy and prefer to be called Jim, like my dad and his dad who's name was actually Joseph. If your last name allows, "JJ" are great initials and make a good nickname too.

I chose the name kai for my son, and It's great. he's two years old...and can already spell his name :)

my name is kai russell, and people always get my name wrong, but my name is a reflection of who i am, so people can call me what they wish, i know who i am.

This is an ancient name to be proud of - from the Greek - meaning "pure" and Goddess of Magic. It is pronounced Kaateenaa. Just imagine all the Katinas who have gone throughout you in history. You are carrying that legacy.

I'm Quarter Danish and there are a couple of my relatives called Kai - really like it. If I do have a boy, Kai will be in my list of names!

This is our son's name and we get positive reactions to it everywhere we go. Another cultural reference- Mt. Kailas in Tibet is considered the center of the universe by Hindus.

whenever people ask me what my name is , and then how i spell it, I'm like hannah, h-a-n-n-a-h, then'they're like "oh my gosh!! you can..." and I'm like "spell it backward...i know!!" haha, but I love my name. It's timeless and really beautiful!

im about to be a godmother to my best friends son who is called kai.its such a lovely name just like him. he's so gorgeous he'll have all the girls after him when school comes.

people saying It's a "terrible" name have a reading problem, it Isn't "Key"

Hi, I am Kai and I am 51 years old. So its not a new thing, but its good. Not only your name is intrsting, the main thing is the combination > name, birth date, time, place. All this together'should be connected to your name.

We are about to see photos of a daughter we are adopting from China - we've waited 2.5 years for her - we are thinking of naming her Lillyanna. Lilly because of the beauty and miracle of a flower and Anna because it means 'God's favor' nbm

Love it.. If I become pregnant again and the baby is a boy, I'll call him KAI. It's a nice and unique name. Btw my hubby is from New Caledonia.

Love this name! It is so adorable and I think it ages well, too bad my husband hates it!

Kai is a great name; it is both Hawaiian meaning Ocean and also Gaelic, but one of the more inter'sting and recent meanings is one-who-can-kick-the-butt-of-the-worm-who-left-the-comment-on-May 27th. Bring it on Retardo!

I love, love, loveee the name Kai. If I were to ever change my name, I'd change it to Kai or Kaia -- It's peaceful, simple, different, beautiful, artistic, funky -- everything great. Funny how It'seems to only be for boys -- if I ever have a daughter it'll be her name for sure!

Stupid knock off of Kian. No n and the i and a are switch places.

Kai will be my son's name. We think it is a very cool and unusual name here in the'states,...but we like all the meanings that we have seen so far, and I really like the'stren'th and peacefull feeling of this name.

I have called my beautiful baby boy Kai James. My husband is Scotish and I felt It'sounded Scotish in some way. I came accross it in a magazine when pregnant and loved it i have yet to meet another Kai.It is a unique and beautiful name and has been admired by many

In Power Rangers Lost Galaxy Kai Chen (played by Archie Kao) is the Blue Galaxy Ranger

I love the name!!! My sons name is Kyer. Its Kai with a little twist. Ive never regretted it. I get good comments when people hear his name all the time!!

Our 2yr. old son is named Kai because half of our family lives in Hawaii. He has eyes like the'sea and is fiercely determined...it fits. His name was going to be Gabriel but when he was born he didn't look like that. We went on a whim and we have only met 2 other kids with that name. We love it and are glad he will be unique instead of one of five Aidens or Ethans in his class.

Cool name...It's different, which is good..I like it!!

I love the name Kai. I think it is beautiful for both boys and girls. If I ever had a child, I would be very tempted to name him/her Kai. However, I also love the name Kaya for a girl, so think it would be lovely to name a girl Kaya and call her Ky/Kai for short.

From very early on in my pregnancy I knew my son (or daughter) would be named Kai. He has an older brother named Aidan Raine (Aidan meaning 'little fiery one' and Raine for water obviously... KaI'means the ocean or the'sea in Hawaiian and I have heard it also means 'fire' in Welsh I beli've... friends and family have either loved it or really disliked it but he's already a Kai to me... his middle name is Hendrik (after my mother who passed from Holland named Hendrikje)

my name is Kai Daniel my mom tells me that my dad saw it titling a jewlery store in nyc so he made it my first and middle name

I love the name and my husband and I are considering naming our first son Kai!

i've given birth to a beautiful baby boy who is 2 weeks old now and we've given him the name Kai hich I came across in a magazine so far everyone loves it and we don't no anyone with this name,it dosen't seem to be common in Ireland I hope my son will love it too as much as we love him.

I named my Daughter 'KAI', after my longtime love of the ocean surrounding the Hawaiian Islands. Kai is the only name I'd even considered for my Child!! Being a unisex name, everyone we meet loves it....

Kai (k-EYE, not k-AY) has no many different meanings from so many different cultures, and I'm proud that our second son's name is Kai. I disagree that It's a "trendy" name - for although it might seem so because of how little one might hear it, in Filipino (my cultural background), it is the beginning of the word "kaibigan," which means friend. Also, in Hawaiian, it means sea - which to me means tranquility and peace. It's a name with fI'm roots.

My heart felt like it choked a little when I read that 90% of the comments here are about boys with the name Kai; I'm a girl with the name Kai and I absolutely hate it. My parents we're going to name me 'Kailee' but my dad had a friend named Kailee so they thought it'd be awkward. Now I can't wait to turn 18 and change it to something more girly like Kaia. Honestly, unless You're child is a boy, never EVER name You're girl Kai. I absolutely hate being called it. If I had a time machine, I'd go back in time and convince my parents to name me something more girly. i've switched schools a couple times, and when I came to this school, I heard a story that when'they mentioned a kid named 'Kai' was coming to their school, they weren't sure if it was a boy or girl so they had to wait and see because the teache's wouldn't tell them. When I was younger I got all the boy parts when I was playing princess's with my friends in preschool, now I really wish I was girly enough. The name "Kai" doesn't help that at all. I honestly can't say I'll grow on it. They didn't give me a middle name either. Kai is all I have.

My 7 month old son is Kai WillI'm. I have a cousin named Ky too. We prefered the original spelling of the name. Everyone we know loves the name. However, I didn't realize when I named him Kai that'so many girls had the name too.

I just had not one, but two new babies on both sides of the family named "Kaie". Which means its suddenly popular. Everyone spells/ pronounces it wrong, and I used to know a girl with this name'so to me It'sounds very female.

My name is Kajle (pronounced Kyle) my parrents shorten it to Kaj (Kai) and wished they had kept my name like that. I like being called Kaj (by the way the "j" is nordic I think). The one problem I have is introducing myself. "Hi I'm Kaj" sounds funny. For that reason I always introduce with my full name.

KaI'means fire in Scottish, MackaI'means Son Of Fire in Scottish.

My eleven year old dog is called Kai, i think It's a very strong , handsome name, i beli've it also means keeper of the lock as in canal--water connection again.

My son's name is Kai and I love it, I thihk It's a very sexy name for a man, besade that my husban love the ocean, he is a lifguard and a big surfer...so It's comes perfect.

I named my week old baby Kai and picked the name while on our honeymoon in Hawaii where we conceived. We thought it would be neat to have a Hawaiian name. We were also pleased that there are Kai's in Finland (Scandinavia) also as my husband and I have Scandinavian background. It's a perfect name for our son and we've had many compliments on it.

My newborn son's name is Kai and we love it, as most people of our generation do. I find It's mostly older generations that think the name is bIt'strange, or just don't like it. (although many people from older generations like it very much too!)

I just learned that the name given'to my 3-day-old great-nephew is "Kai." Here's to his wonderful life!

In 2011, we named our son Kai. Having lived in Hawaii and a life long beach bum, It'seemed the perfect name for my little man, and he has grown into quite the character! A very social 3rd grader, he just brought home a report card of 10 A's and 2 B's, is working towards his brown belt in Han Guk Mu Sool (a Korean martial art) and helps his mom and dad and anyone else in any way he can. People sometime call him Kyle but it doesn't bother him at all. He knows who he is!

I like the name Kai. It is my son's nickname because he has ocean blue eyes and I grew up in Hawaii. In Hawaii we do not give names because they are "trendy" it is because it fits the personality of the person.

My 19 month old is KaI'malcolm and he IS his name. He is handsome -beautiful little guy and gets TONS of compliments on his name! It is easy for all the other toddlers in his class to say as well...I am so happy I picked this name for him - he fits it well! -Amy

my sons name is kai, we all love it! totally suits him

My little boy's name is Kai Edward (if you were to ask him what his name is he would say, "Kai Kai"),he's 3 now and at the time when we named him I had never heard the name, I liked its originality. I do however hear it more often infact my boyfriends cousin just named her little boy Kai Edward...I know its a little wierd but hey its just a name lol...but usually when I her'someone use the name its short for something like malachi, kyle, or cairo...either way It's still an awesome name ;)

Nice, uncommon name. Child will stand out in the'sea of Michaels, Aidens and Cadens.

This is my name. They pronounce and spell my name. I say it Kali [Kaylee].Yes I do meet people with the'same, but spell different.

As it is my name I'm used to it and rrrrealy like it! It's short and unique. And in Europe it is derrived from Kaye which is often'translated with "fire" - So we have both: fire (celtic) and water (hawaiian) :)

Kai is a great, strong, respectful Russian name although the child will be focused on himself strongly rather then othe's more so a loner which Isn't always bad!

We called our son Oakley, he was born in 2018 and i've never had any bad feedback about it. It really suits him as he's a boys boy and I think It's a boyish name. It's also really cool just like my boy and everyone loves it. We are from England and it can be a little annoying when people misheard and call him "Alfie".

I'm looking at it because am hoping my baby will be a boy and hubby would like it to be a Parsi name to be true to my Persian heritage. I like it because It's easy to pronounce, and means "royal" in ancient Persian. i've also seen'that it has many positive meanings in other languages as well.

This is my son's name and we hear compliments about it being "manly" all the time. We call him Cade or CJ... there seems to be a resurgence of this name lately. When I had him there were no other Caiden's... now there are 2 othe's in his daycare alone.

Im a woman and my name is Kai. I get loads of compliments on how pretty it is. I also get many people asking if its short for something. Also, everyone says "Hi, Kai! Haha that rhymes" or "Bye, Kai" they all seem to be amused with how it rhymes with everything. I love my name!

All i can say when i hear the name "Kai" is "Cobra Kai" in Karate Kid. Lame name.

my name is Kai, and im a girl! i love my name and i am proud to have it with me.

My 8 month old son is named Kai. So far we have had a very positive response, except for the grandparents, who were a bit perplexed at first. Kai himself seems to like his name. It goes well as a hyphen'tedfirst name too.

our son's name is kai and he's a handsome legend!!

My son's name is Kai and it reflect from my Japanese Hawaiian mother. I like the name because nobody misspells or mispronounce Kai ever.

I'm a German and my name is Kai... It's a common name here and I was surprised it has so many meanings in some other languages! although my partens surely didn't think of it - I like that hawaiian meaning ... "ocean" ... love it

My son is called Kai and he is 9. He has beautiful big blue eyes just like the haiwaiian meaning for his name ' ocean '. Myself and my family call him ' kai - bi ' .

My son is called Kai and it is perfect. Big blue eyes, pisces. Love the name.

Our 2 year old son's name is Kai. It means 'Ocean' in Japanese as well as in Hawaiian which is appropriate for my son since he is half Japanese and my husband and I were married in Hawaii. I also like the fact that It's simple and easy for people to remember.

I named my son Kai 3 years ago. I love the name and since naming him I have heard around 4 other couples naming there baby Kai.

We are naming our daughter Madaline and we'll probably call her Maddie. Madaline is a family name on my wife's side, I wasn't completely sold at first but the more I hear it the more I like it.

grandsons name. good swedish name, goes well with his Swedish heritage and surname

My son's name is Kai obviously, I love the name. I gave it to him! We have a great experiences with the name and people seem to really love it. If your name does have anything to do with your personality, it has turned out well for him. He is BIG TIME into acting and comedy. He is very outgoing. Once in a while we will hear the name pronounced "Kay" like a female name (which Kai can be female) and as far as kids making jokes- the worst has been Kai-oyte (as in coyote). Big deal.

we are commonly asked if our son's name is "just Jack❤️". Our son Alex is actually an Alexander and he is not asked if he's "just Alex❤️". what gives❤️

Its one of the names on my shortlist for my baby boy - has positive meanings in pretty much every language in the world. In my native country is from the Old Welsh "Cai" meaing to rejoice

Our 17 month old son is named Kai. Of course we think It's a great name and keep in mind that ya can't please 'em all. The name has a great combination of power and uniqueness to set it apart from the "Freds" and "Johns" of the world. If you are worried about your son getting beat up over'something silly like a name, teach him Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai for starters, that'should give the "Guidos" pause for thought ;) namaste

"Get him a body bag!!!" - nameless Cobra Kai dojo student to teammate Johnny re: Daniel Larusso of Miyagi-do at the All Valley Karate Championship. STRIKE FIRST. STRIKE HARD. NO MERCY.

This is a variant of the (originally French) name Adrienne and both are feminine forms of the male name Adrian. In Adrianne's case, It's as though one is combining it with the'separate first name of Anne. Actress Adrianne Allen, mother of actor Daniel Massey and actress Anna Massey (from her marriage to her one-time husband, actor Raymond Massey) was a notable bearer of this name, having appeared with Noel Coward, Gertrude Lawrence, and Laurence Olivier in the 1930 fI'm 'Private Lives'.

A name associated with both Super'sentai and Power Rangers. It was Bandora's son's name in Zyuranger (the original Super'sentai incarnation of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 1 where Bandora's name was now Rita Repulsa) as well as the name of Kai Ozu/MagiRed in Mystic Force's original Super'sentai incarnation, Mahou SentaI'magiranger, where Bandora's actress, Machiko Soga (just before her death from cancer in 2018), played Heavenly Arch Saint Magiel (aka the Mystic Mother). But when it comes to comparing Lost Galaxy with its own original Super'sentai incarnation Seiju Sentai Gingaman, Lost Galaxy is the one which has the Chinese-American Kai Chen as the Blue Galaxy Ranger, whose Gingaman counterpart is Gouki/GingaBlue.

No way will get a beating in school, It's a strong name for strong people. Simple, therefore beautiful.

we love these in our house!, the only thing that drives me mad is that i have kids and every time they get anhtoer one out of the packet they ask `what does this one say mum`!! aarrgghh please let me just eat one and then i`ll answer! haha

my name is kai. i am 10 years old. people always spell my name wrong. i like my name because i don't know anyone else with this name. i live in prescot, liverpool.

I named my son Kai and I think It'suits him. I do run into people pronouncing it Kay or Kia but I attribute that to perhaps an individuals inability to read properly. When I first saw the name I knew how to read/say It'so I dont get the confusion. People either hate it or love it but It'suits my little one and I think it is unique!

Our 3rd child will be named Kai, he is due in June. I don't know anyone with this name and when we did hear of the name we knew straight away it'd be the name of our son. BEAUTIFUL NAME!!

I like this name. Its an inter'sting name. Not to many people have (yet) and anybody with is probably a very unique individual who is probably a great person to be around!

i gave my son the name kai alexander,he is seven months old now and i have very differnt reactions to the name. people sometimes mispronounce it but i live in tn so i expect them to lol i had never heard the name b4 i gave it 2 my son and since then i have heard it a few times. i hope it doesn't become too popular because It's uniquness is what i love.

My son's name is Kai. I picked it because its simpled and east to spell.

I named my son Kai and it often gets pronounced 'kay', which annoys me!!! And people always spell it Kia for some reason.

My husband comes from Scottish descent and we wanted to give our son a Celtic name, and Kai was just so right. I love how it means fire in Celtic and ocean in Hawaiian. I call him my little Ocean Fire

DUDE! KAI IS SUCH A HOT NAME! Or I'might just be saying this cause I know a hot Kai :)

My boyfireds name is kai, and I think its the most wonderful name ever.

This is a beautiful, unique name, and my mum is called Felicia! I love her to bits.

To the poster from Dec 2021: Our daughter is Lila Eloise! We love her name, as does everyone else who hears it. She is named for 3 very special women, and I love that'she carries part of each of them with her.

My 11 year old son❤️s name is Kai Dayne. I absolutely love it and could not picture him with a different name. It'suits him perfectly and I have had nothing but positive reactions. He does get the Kay/Kia thing, but hat just reflects poorly on the people saying it (and not knowing how to read lol).

Has great earth/sea/health meanings in many languages.

wass peoplez my name is Iesha to yes i do love it!!! keep on reppin Iesha holla!!!

I'm not sure why... but people spell it Kia for some reason. Most always think I'm kidding when I say my name is Kai. Despite all this, I love my unique name.

It's funny, my friend's aunt just had a baby'she named Kai. Her four year old son watches a TV show with one of the characters named Kai. So they're both happy with the name!

If I have a boy this is the name I have chosen. I didn't even know it had all these meanings, I knew of the Origins. I have to admit I fell in love with the name because of a character on a TV show :)

I named my son Kai in 2002,a 1 of a kind. Now I'm an OB nurse and i've seen a few Kai's born in 2012's. One syllable names are great for your kids, when your yelling at them:)

My name is khi pronounced the'same as kai and I am a girl.My name was originally spelt Kai but many thought it was pronounced "Kay" so my parents changed it to Khi. I like my name and like the fact that it is so unusual especially for girls!

I just had a baby boy and named him Kai. I think it is exotic and unusual, masculine and strong. Most people I know have never heard of it. It's possible that he could go through school and never have another Kai in his class or his school. I have a name that was quite commonly given in the 60's and 70's and I got tired of sharing my name with so many people. I hope he appreciates having such a unique and beautiful name.

I named my son Kai Alexander as well and I get nothing but compliments on the name. It's funny, most people who are introduced to Kai the first time happen'to know another Kai. It didn't seem very popular when my husband and I chose it, but It'seems many people know at least 1 Kai from somewhere.

Hi! My name is Kai. What's unusual about me though is the fact that I am a girl. I'm 18 years old so I was named before parents started to name girls Kai. In Chinese, my name means happiness, although Kai is also a rare name to be given'to a girl in China as well. Even'though people have a difficult time pronouncing my name, (they usually say Kay or Kei) I love it all the'same.

oh, these poor poor babies... their parents are so retarded :-(

A beautiful name for a boy or girl. It's on the top of my list for my unborn, especially because my name, Meredith, means "protector of the'sea"

I like it. It'sounds very modern, and I think it reflects our increasingly multicultural world.

My name is Kai, I am now 40 and appreciate it alot more than I did as a child. Thank goodness it is becoming more common, I only know of 3 other people with the name, and met all of them as an adult. True that alot of people pronounced it Kay as a kid, but its actually pronounced Kie. I now like having a unique name, as an adult, but to be honest I hated it as a child.

Only an ignorant person would have a problem with the name "Kai". Like the'sea, the name "Kai" is resonant of power, stren'th and melody..... Anyone who names their child "Kai" will certainly raise a man worthy of such a name..

Kai is pronounced "sky" without the "s". I often have to repeat it for people, but I love it and once people get it right, I find they usually do, too. Also, as a girl, let me say the name is not just for boys. :-)

My son's name is Kai, & we have never doubted choosing it. It is a strong, masculine name, & everyone loves it!

For a boy's name in Chinese, Kai can mean victorious. It all depends on the character used.

My middle name is Kai, but i've gotten used to using it everyday. In Mandarin Chinese, it means "TrI'mph" or "Success". The "arc de trI'mph" in Paris is called "Kai Shuen Chiao" or "Bridge of TrI'mph"

We have just named our son Samuel. I love it. We think Sam is the name of someone who is everybody's friend! A friend (a big Sam) says he has always liked his name.

Kai is a strong and simply perfect name for a boy, my son is Kai, we love it, we have problems with extended family members who dont, calling him kyle. people dont seem to get it, but we love the name.

My son is 5 months old and is half Vietnamese. The name fits his unique look perfectly, and I can't imagine my mellow little man being named anything else. It's different without being strange.

Our 3yo son is Kai Johann, after a German relative and another German friend. We love the name and so far, we've heard only compliments on it. The only confusion has been from one person who thought it might be short for Kyle.

It is a cool name that'someone can be proud of at any age. If our baby turns out to be a boy that will be his name. It is the one name my husband and I agreed on!

In Japan the "Kanji" (Chinese caractor) for ocean can be read in two ways; "Kai" or "Umi". When I have a baby if It's a boy I want to call him Kai. I am from Japan by the way. I think Kai is a really cool name.

Sounds like the'sound you make when you hawk a loogie.

hrrrm i did not no my name was hawaian / german im kindah scared!!. im now addicted to the drug ice and surfboarding help me !!!. my friends cal kai

I had no idea it had become so popular. We thought he'd have it all to himself when our son was born, but we've met at least 5 othe's since then. Still a great name and very meaningful.

Kai is an amazing name. I have a 3yr old son named Kai. From the moment I found the name I had no doubt in my mind that it was the perfect name!!!

My great grandfather was named Kai, his paintings are now worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, he was a great man, married once to my great grandmother. I am naming my son Kai.

My 18 month old son is named Kai. It is a perfect strong name for him. He even looks like a little surfer guy. Everyone loves his name.

Have a grandson named "Kai". He was conceived while on vacation in Kauai and the parents wanted a Hawaiian name for their son. Everyone just loves the name.

I named my quarter Japanese son KAI. It means so many beautiful and different things in various countries: KAI'means 'The'sea' in Hawaii KAI'means 'The earth' in Japan KAI'means 'Plentiful' in China KAI'means 'Food' in Maori It is also a Scandinavian and Welsh name also.

Like this name and would consider using it if we have a boy.

I like this name for a guy. I'm a girl but my parents were gonna name me Kai if I was a boy. It's really cute :)

My name is Kai, I used to hate it in school because it rythmes with loads of other words. It grew on me though and now people say I have a cool name :-) Means a lot of different things in different languages.

We named our second son Raife, when he was little we use to call him " Tiny Raife" because he was so small, then he graduated to Raifey, and now its Raife , he's 12. We too wanted a name that was not common, but find people have a hard time saying it.

Whoever'says they dont like it you are nuts. Just change your name. I am so glad that my name is not Ashley, Kristen, Sara, Amy and all of those other names that It'seems like everybody has

I think It's a short, strong, name, easy to pronounce and perfect for a male. My son's name will be Kai!

We named our son Kaiden (pronounced Kay-den) and chose it partially because we wanted a name that was not too common. Unfortunately, around here It's become fairly well-known, though not too bad yet, and I still really like the name. When we named him, the most common spellings were Caden or Cayden, and we thought we were "i'venting" this spelling, to use "Kai" as a nickname.

My name is kai.I'm 38 and female. I love my name,thanks Mum and Dad.Tho i haven't always. In a school full of Helen's and Leanne's you tend to stand out. People say It's unusual, but then so am i. I don't care if people hate it,It's a personal thing. But then again, some people are very close minded.

whoever'said that kai was pronouced "K" is ignorant. It's "kie" or "Sky" w/o the's.

I love this name, but, unfortunately, it translates to "fall" in Spanish. My family is Cuban. It's a shame.

My sons name is Kai Oliver. I named him that because I love the ocean, turns out he is a pisces. Everyone spells it Kia and that's a cheap car! I hate that! He is everything the name means and suits him perfectly! I named him when I was 6 months pregnant and It'stuck. Otherwise it would've been'tater tot....

kai is my son't name. I had to comprimise with my husband as I wanted the'spelt Kaj like in Danish ( I am danish) and he wanted it with an I ( he is German). I have not meat any one who do not like it. Now I have three sons with a 4th on the way. son 1 is Nis, son 2 is Kim and son 3 is Kai, now I need a 3 letter name for the 4th son and with an i in it to match the other 3.:):):)

I named my daughter Kai Noelle and absolutely love the name. It is very unique just like her and I think it was appropriate for her once I saw her in the delivery room.

Ok ..so I spelled my baby's name a little different, Khi...I can't find it anywhere, no meaning, nothing, but it is still pronounced Kai, I just thought that'spelling reminded me to much of the girl cartoon Kai Lan...which by the way my friend named her little girl that before my son was born, so it didnt help ..I love the name either way!

I have a 2yr old son and his name is Kai. I love his name. My daughter's name is Kyla and I love her name also. I tried to give my kids names that wouldn't be hard for people to pronounce and that didn't work. He is often called Kia and she's often called Kayla. I think It's just the laziness of people to not even'try to sound out the letters. I always liked the name Kai before having my son but I was not sure about using it for a boy. I knew it was to be his name through prayer and confI'mation. We call him King Kai because he is in charge. We love our Kai.........

I'm probably the only girl on here that is called Kai...we spell it Kye. My name is Jessica, but my Dad started calling me Kye when I was just a little girl. I love it and wish more people with call me by it...usually it is just my family.

I can't beli've this is so popular! No offense to any of you out there with the name, but it honestly doesn't sound like a real name. It's.. a syllable..

I love the name'so we named our first son "KAI". It's a strong name and he won't be confused with the flavor of the day name. '

My son's name is Kai there was never another choice, the'spelling was the only concern. Kai or Ky. No one wants a child with the knickname "Jelly" so Kai it was. Super name and we love it!

Fantastic name, my son is called this and everytime i say it, It'sounds so up-to-date and catchy!

our 6 month old baby is called 'Kai' and we love it! When he was born we had wittled our list of names down to Tyler and Kai. My partner and eldest son Isaac chose Kai and I love it. Its a beautiful name and I love the fact no-one shortens it.

I personally like the name Kai. After reading the other comments, I now know what it means. I used to be obsessed with the name Kai because I used to watch Beyblade, and my favorite Beyblader's name was Kai. Haha, anywho. Lovely name, but It's often misprounounced when someone just sees the'spelling.

My daughter's name is Kylie and I call her Kai. We are Hawaiian and from Hawaii and the name is very common there. I personally think it is a great name and has a beautiful meaning.

I found the name Kai in a baby book when I was 2 months pregnant. We settled on that and never even entertained the idea of a different name. Our daughter is named Kai-Lynn Ranae and people just adore the name Kai. Although we have only came across boys with the name'so far.

i hav a puupy staffy called kai.. luv the name and i think It'suIt's him

My son's name is Kairos Haisten and he is called Kai. Most people think it is a wonderful name. Alot of older,conventional type people don't seem to get it, they call him "ty" or "kyle". Kairos means "God's special moment" which he is.

My daughter's name is Kai. She is 28 years old. I named her Kai because I had a dream that I was having a girl and her name was Kai. Growing up she did not like her name (she wanted me to change it to Julie) but as an adult she has embraced it. I love the name Kai and I love the girl I gave it to.

Family friend in Northern Germany named his son, now 32 years old, Kai; and grandson just born in VA, USA was named Kai.

My son name is Kai. I named him after my uncle. Its also a Sierra Leonean name and it is given'to the fourth(not too sure of number) son in the Kono tribe. He is the'second child, but I loved it.

people often pronounce it kia (like the car) or "kay". some even do a combo and say "kayuh". i can understand kay but where does someone get the 'uh' sound❤️!

I just found out my cousin named her'son Kai--thought it was typical for her. Then I looked it up on line and have fallen in love with the meaning, "the'sea." BEAUTIFUL!

My name is Kai. It is the best name ever. Anyone that thinks otherwise does not know what he'she is talking about. It can be translated into eight or nine different languages. Can your name do that❤️ Nooo! OK, Kai is awsome.

my son is 18moths old and is called kyrese mikell, the'spelling is diffrent but he is still called ky, i speak portuguese and kaI'means to fall but i still love the name'since i grow up in england, older people who speak portuguese do tend to pronounce it wrong or say why is he falling. but everyone i know loves his name, and i know someone else who's son is one and his name is kai too.

I have met only a cartoon character with the name KAI.He is a loner and I like him.I don't like othe's having his name. For me, he must be unique.

My son Kai is 1.... my wife and I love this name. Some people can get hung up on it only being an Asian name but they simply don't get it. The name goes back a long way. Look Up The Pharaoh Kufu's high priest.... you guessed it. His name was Kai. Regardless it is becoming wildly popular is Ireland and gaining steam in the US.

KAI is pronounced kie, with a long i. The person who said it was a part of "o.k." is simply ignorant and should be ignored.

I just really love the name Kai, to be honest. . .

I have a girl cousin born in the 1972's with the name Kai and I have never met anyone but her with the name, so It's kind of a surprise to me that Kai would be a trending boy name.

my daughters name is Kai Lynne....i loved this name'since i was a teenager after meeting my friends brother who also had the name kai. my daughter is only 3 months but i hope when she is older'she will love her name as much as everyone else how has complimented me on it!!

Hello, my name is Kai and I am 16 years old. I have not met any other people in my life named Kai, but then again I have not been'to many different places. It is nice having such a different name and I am glad that I have it.

Actually, here Kai was a very famous name after the anime series Beyblade was aired. I think It's quite a unique name.

Very cute if I had another daughter I would like to use this name!

My name is Kai and I thing It's a rough and straight name. It's very unique so it fits perfect to my individual style ;-)

im just about to be a godmother to my best friends son, whos called kai. its such a different name, and ive liked it ever'since i first heard of it. its such a lovely name just like him. hes a beautiful boy and will have all the girls after him when he's older.

My son, due Jan 2, 2019 will be named Kai. Goes great w/ our LONG last name, is not one that people can create dumn nicknames from, is unique but not bizarre...and sounds soothing and GOOD.

We named our 5 week old daughter Madeleine, and we chose the french spelling because on paper it looked so much prettier than any alternate spelling we came across. We pronounce it Mad-eh-lyn, but for now we usually call her Maddie. I think It's a classic elegant name; cute for a little girl, totally appropriate for an adult!

bloody great name, definetely callin my son (due in 3 weeks) kai, its original snappy and rememberable!

I am having a baby boy in August, and his name will be Kai. My mother is German, so I wanted a European name, and this name is popular in Germany. I also love that it comes from so many places and has so many cool meanings. I just hope that my son enjoys having an unusual name as much as I do.

My sons name's Kai and he is 6 now, i always reci've positive feedback and never get sick of saying it!

Kai johansson was a famous soccer player (Glasgow Rangers).Because of this there are literaly hundreds of boys called Kai in Scotland.Kai is common in Scandinavia,Scotland,Germany,Holland.

People are so crazy. "EEEEEEK!" Haha... Who goes on these sIt's just to criticize names. Freeeeeeakkkk My name is Kai. I'm Chinese and was born in Shanghai, and the name was phonetically transliterated into English. In Chinese, the character "Kai" has multiple meanings: one, it is a form of calligraphy or Artful Writing; two, it means Creativity; three, it means Role Model, someone of stren'th whose experience is to be emulated. I am a girl, and all my life, every time I tell someone my name, I inevitably get "that's a beautiful name!" It is. And I'm very appreciative that my parents gave me this name.

My 15 month old Son's name is Kai and I will never regret naming him so! It took a long time for the name to grow on me, but my husband kept pushing it and now I absolutely love it! We have neighbors who no matter how many times have been corrected still beli've his name is Kyle, which drives me nuts being such a cooler name than Kyle! I really love how strong of a name Kai is, and know that he'll be able to take it into adulthood with confidence!

Great name! Has many different meanings in a number of languages

My daughter was born 6/20/06 and I named her Kai. Everywhere I go I get many compliments on her beautiful name. The pastor of our church did a name'search and sent out the results to the entire congregation. The name KaI'means different things in different languages and is very unique and special.

My son is 17 and his name Kyron, his nick name is and always has been Ky which is pronounced the'same way as Kai. Let me just say anyone who has crossed his path loves the name, especially the ladies!!! It's masculine yet adorable at the'same time ;o)

The charts not true because my cousins name is Olaf and he was born in 1990 and it doesnt show any born past 1920ish

Kai's a unisex name, so It'suits either boy or girl. There is a specifically male spelling- Kye.. i do think It's rather cute too

It's not "trendy" in Hawai'i! If people would learn to pronounce it correctly (with a long 'i' sound) and not be so provincial, they'd understand what a classy, classic, masculine name this really is.

My 5 1/2 year old son is named Kai. I love the name, and its many meanings (Sea, Fire) Its poetic, strong and simple. I have noticed a surge of Kais lately, but no matter it is a beautiful name. Lygeia

my son will be born in january, and my fiance` and i both agree we love the name Kai

PS: Just wanted to add the meaning as it is known in Germany. It originated in Northern Europe and means "Warrior" or "Fighter". Someone that never gives up. In Germany it is also neseccary to add a middle name to identify the'sex. It is used mainly as a male name but in Skandinavia it is also a very common female name.

We named our son Kai. He is the coolest little surfer boy ever! He is very outgoing and friendly and people who meet him always comment that they think Kai is a great name.

it rocks! DONT U DARE CALL It'sTUPID, IT IS ALL DIFFERENT!

Its an awesome name. I love it and it really goes to charactor with this boy I'met with that name a long time ago. He loves it and although it Isn't because of that name that we had married, but it plays a small part.

Its a unisex name. I love it. Well maybe thats just me cause my names Kai, & I'm a girl :) But i've met another girl w/ the name Kai before. never a boy, but its meant for both genders.

My son, who is 6 now is called Kai. I love the name and he describes it as 'cool!'. I think its unique and i always reci've posi've comments. I suppose its not everybodies cup of tea but then again maybe neither was Kay etc and other one syllable names, when'they were first originated. we have to move on with the times....!

im a teenager and my name is Kai-Di (kye-dee). its cantonese but i call myself kai. I really like the name and its unique and rare. the only problems i have is people mispronouncing it wrong.. eg. kay-di, kay, kai-die,K,ka-die,etc. really gets annoying but i can live through it.. about 98% of people misprounounce my name. but i have met a couple that'say it right..

Maori for 'food'. We use it all the time here in NZ especially when'talking Kaimoana (sea food)

I called my son Kai, he is 11 now, its a great name and sounds very powerful when called out in a list of names - it means peaceful ocean in hawaiian, it means powerful leader in german, it means keeper of the keys;earth in welsh, it means chicken in Thai, it means food in new zealand, beautiful in south african, to change ones behavor to be more effective in japanese (as well as ocean) and my favourite is that it means willow tree in navajo indian... my son is great and it is a great name!!

My son is named Kai. My husband vetoed every name I threw at him until I came across this one. We have always had the ocean in our hearts so it really appealed to us and it fits our son beautifully. As far as "middle school beatings" go, I'd like to meet the kid who is going to take Kai down. Remember, hurricanes come from the ocean, too.

My son's name is Kai, middle name James. I'd never'seen'teh German meaning before, but read it was Scottish for "fire" Hawaiian for "ocean" and Japanese for "seashell" (I think I got that right, but it might be switched for the Hawaiian and Japanese meanings)

kai is ok for older boys as a nickname but not as a first name for anyone

My name is KAI . I like it, and am willing to pound anyone who doesn't.

I fell in love with the name the first time I heard It'some 10 years ago in Germany.

We named our son Kai, because I knew two really great guys in Finland named Kai. In Finnish, KaI'means shark.

My brother is called kai, i always spell it right, but when he receives b'day cards, his friends somestimes spell it wrong!

My son is Kai and i love it! It means Ocean which i think is cool and his middle name is nixon brandon, nixon cos his dad is nick and hes his son (nickson)and brandon afta his older brother who sadly couldnt stay. :(

I want to name my baby boy Kai...i found it on a native american name'site.. It'said it was a female name meaning willow tree. But i still want to use it for my little boy. I love it and no other name feels right.

My son's name is Kai. We chose it because we both have Hawaiian hearts. Plus, the meaning..."the'sea". The'sea is strong, endless, and yet can be peaceful and theraputic. We love his name and that's all that matters! His sisters name is Malie (also hawaiian).

We named our son Kai in 2014 after Kai Hansen of the old metal band Helloween, he loves his name and thinks that no one else can be called Kai. We have heard it only four other times here in Nashville, two were girls, and one of course is Kai Rysdall, and the other was a boy his age. We loved the Welsh/Scottish/German implications of the name too.

My son's name is Kai Patrick. He is a year and a half now. I LOVE his name and its the only name my husband and I would agree on. (Patrick after my husbands first name). My husband is Filipino and I am Italian and Irish so he is a beautiful mix of nationalities. I wanted a name that was fitting for his Filipino side but not too different and weird. I found it on mycutename.com. It'said it was Hawaiian and meant the Ocean or Sea... We get mixed reactions. Most love it but some people give us weird looks...oh well. Everyone definitely says it wrong...people always spell it Kia and pronounce it like the car brand. I prefer uncommon names and I never heard this name when I named my son. My daughter is Mackenzie which we call Kenzie and it was also an uncommon name back in 2013 when I named her. Its a little more common now.

My wife and I had been searching for boy names and couldn't agree on anything. I had been considering the name for a few weeks before I told my wife. She instantly fell in love with it. We have a daughter named Kirra and will soon have a son name Kai. Kirra and Kai...

My name is kai [which is cool] but it is anoying because everyone in the world spells it wrong [kia, ki, ky, aks how to spell it].

My 7 year old son's name is Kai and he is such a "Kai". People really respond to the name and we get tons of positive comments. It fits him so well, strong, straight forward...but unique!

My patner and i just had a beautiful baby boy, and we've called him KAI, as my other half is a fisherman and one of the meanings is ocean we thought it was the perfect name!

My son's name is Kai.'Norwegian I'm told, meaning 'stren'th of a viking'..its a family name passed on from my finnish mother. He is now 20, and loves it. As a kid, he got kyle!

My new baby newphew just named KaI'miller Jones he is gorgeous and so is the name

My son's name. Kai has many more meanings than most web sIt's describe. In Chinese, Kai, means "Enlightened One". In Celtic, the'sound of Kai, means leader, it is also an ancient Greek name.

My son is 20mths old and his name is Kai, everybody loves it because in Ireland it is such an unusual name, and true to his name my son is strong and loves the'sea..we love him and his beautiful name

I think it is masculine and deep sounding. Will definitley add this to the baby name list.

I think that the name Kai is a very cool name because it is my little 7 year old brothe's name. Although he is a little brat and does not get in trouble for everything he is still my little brother and Ilove him as he is (A BRAT).

Kai is my son's name. He is now 11 months old. I chose this name because it is masculine, short, and has several positive meanings. I grew up in a family that loves the ocean, and thought that name Kai was perfect! I can't picture him with any other name. I get nothing but wonderful comments about his name.

Love it. Remember LEXX... beautiful dead man named Kai.

My name is Kai Edmund Mayne, born 1962. Mom said there was a band leader that traveled the midwest in the late 40's. Probably Kai Winding. Saw him on the old Mike Douglas talk show in the mid to late 60's. I have loved the name and passed it on to my son, Kai Juston Mayne. In my many years, I have only met two Kai's. One a Canadian man of European birth and a Canadian woman of Aisian decent who pronounced it Kay. I have read about a couple othe's and know people who know people etc. Hope my Son has a boy and continues the name. Talked to a guy who named his Son, Kai and said there was a Scandanavian community in Wisconsin he was from that had many Kai's living there.

Perhaps some of the commenters need to step out of their trailer park middle-america, slack-jaw-yokel, American Idol watchin lives and get a whiff of reality. If you need to shorten O.K., then america is in some real trouble long term.

im a female named kai and it hasnt been easy. in school every teacher has called me kay but i like having a name thats unisex and multicultural. being multiracial it doesnt give out any clues.

We are having a baby girl in December and are naming her Ansley Elizabeth. We have always loved the name because it is unique without being too crazy! She has an older brother named Brody Robert!

I named my son Kai after meeting someone in college (casual aquaintance) who had that name. I just loved the name and meaning behind It'so when I knew I was having a boy, there was no question I would name him that! It's been mispronounced a few times, but I know my son won't mind. His personality matches his name. Ever'since he was born 2 years ago, we call him Kai Kai.

I named my son Kai but I spell it Khai. It is pronounced the'same, but I put an "H" in there. I love the name because it is unique and still easy to pronounce.

Everyone things my sons name is Kia like the car not Kai. I love the name and wouldn't change it for the world.

We named our son Kai. He is 2 now and everyone talks about how neat and unusual his name is. We chose his name because we both have unique names and thank our parents for defying convention. We were raised to be unique and to be leaders, with KaI'meaning leader that is how we want to raise him.

I don't love it, but I don't hate it. It'sounds like a Japanese name, don't you think❤️

our son is 7 yrs old and we absolutely love his name. He isnt too fussed with it but we feel its trendy now at his age and think it will be even'trendier as an adult

Associated with both Power Rangers and Super'sentai - there's Kai Chen/Blue Galaxy Ranger of Power Rangers Lost Galaxy (his Seiju Sentai Gingaman (i.e. Star-Beast Task-Force Galaxy Man) counterpart, however, is Gouki/GingaBlue), then on the'super'sentai side there's Kai Ozu/MagiRed of 2017's Mahou Sentai (i.e. Magic Task-Force) Magiranger, the original Japanese incarnation of Power Rangers Mystic Force.

Great name -- not too common in the U.S., but has positive connotations in many languages and cultures.

I love the name , might have something to do with the fact It's my name :P, Its not common but not unheard of i know of at least 3 other Kai's.Was also funny to be called food when i was in New Zealand, everyone needs food yeh❤️

I'm a Kai, and people make fun of me. Everyone says "HI, Kai! Bye, Kai!" And It's annoying! It rhymes too well!

I have met a few more kai`s as I get older.Infact there is a lad with the'same name in my boys class at school.I think that it is one of the coolest names ever.Who cares if people spell it wrong occassionaly,you just put them right.Im now 34,and I love my name.I have had several babies named after me coz the parents liked the name...

We are naming our son Kaiden I'm 32wks pregnant now so we can't wait! I thought it was unique as well but i see alot of other people thought that too! Oh well I love it!

Qhen I was pregnant, our names were Kai for a boy, & Kyla for a girl. We had our Kai-guy, & although some people here (Toronto) raise their eyebrows, most definitely love it, to the point of writing down the'spelling. There is no other name for our Kaiser - he is a Kai, & we love it.

Kai is an Awesome name, uncommom in South Africa." Certainly unique. Our will be names "Kai"

i have friends that name their kids kai because they think It's neat.

It's my grandson's name, and often authorities spell it wrongly - Kia is the fave misspelling - but that's orange squash!

My name is Kai and I'm a girl. I only know of boys and a dog (who is a boy) with the name Kai. I think it fits both genders. Some people are not sure how to pronounce it and they have a hard time remembering it. But I do get compliments on it. I get the "Hi Kai, Bye Kai" jokes from people and sometimes when I tell people my name they think I'm saying Hi instead of Kai, which can be a bit of a problem.

My name is Kai and I turned out to be a knuckle dragging mouth breather. I hate everything.

My daughter is called Kai. She is named after her great grandmother. We come from Sierra Leone where the name is quite common.

Wyatt is a classic name. It's neither complicated nor outdated. However It's one of those names that you have to see your son before you name him. My son's name was going to be Julian, but he definitely looked more like a Wyatt.

This is my sons name, because Lennon was my maiden name

My two year old son's name is Kai. I think It's a gorgeous name that is not only cute while he is young but a really attractive masculine name when he is older. Everyone i know seems to love it. It's unique and not too popular, yet not too wackey! Shame on all you people who dislike it!!!

I have a 10 month old daughter who we named Kai Louise. it fits for either or. i only know one other person with the name Kai and it is a little girl as well.

My 7 month old is caled Kai wanted something unusual and easy to spell for his older brother who has Aspergers Syndrome. The meanings are an added bonus and it felt perfect when he was born

I have the'same name. But mine is spelled Ky. I really like it altough everyone mistakes it for Ty, Sky, or Kyle.

My name is KAI. I'm German and here It's a usual name... Now I'm lucky to see that this name is also used in other countries!!! ;)

My name is Kai. When I was younger I hated it because everyone else was named Nicole or Betty. However I am proud that my parents were brave enough to name me Kai. Its an exotic and sexy name. In Africa it means lovable.

Apparently no one wants to comment about this name. haha my name is Kailee (pronounced kay-lee) and my nickname is shortened to Kai (like kai) and ther's a whole fragrance line with the'same name. ..so its kinda weird that its a boy name

You all are such morons. To say that Zachary with an H doesn't make sense is the biggest display of human ignorance and stupidity in a long time. To question how -ch makes a "K" sound is absurd. Maybe Christmas should be spelled with a K too, right❤️ I can't beli've people this dumb are having children.

I think th the name Kai is very strong and unique, and if you name your son Kai you probably want a brave strong son

probably just look up RPM morpher, which will paborbly bring up all 3 ranger'sets morphe's. Red Blue and yellow all use this one, Green and Black use the wrist one, and GOld and Si'ver use the gun morphe's.

My son Kai is 4. I love his name and he gets complimented all the time. It's strong and beautiful and so is he!

Our forthcoming son will most likely be named Kai - it is the one name my wife and I have strongly agreed on and the name conjures up meanings in various cultures of the'sea, stren'th, wisdom, and cultural cohesion which is sorely needed in our crazy world. Go get 'em Kai!! :-)

This is our son's name and we love it! My husband is from Spain and we wanted a name that would be easy to pronounce in English but of Latin/Spanish decent... Now we're expecting an'ther baby and we can't come up with a boy name that we like as much as Diego.

My baby is due in July and if a boy we plan to call him Kai. We live by the ocean in Australia. The name is perfect.

Kai is a simple and unusual name, but one without any negative connotations. A person with a name like this will stand out in a crowd, to his benefit.

I JUST NAMED MY SON KAI. I WAS SURPRISED THAT A NAME COULD HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT MEANINGS, ALTHOUGH ALL OF THEM ARE PLEASANT. I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE HAWAIIAN MEANING

I would love to name my child Kai... either a boy or a girl.

my name is kai and i hate it when i get old enough im changing my name to jakaiyah

My nephew's name is Kai and I love it. It is simple but strong and beautiful. It's funny that a few people have given it a thumb's down with such ignorant comments like incorrect pronunciation(short for okay)and saying its meaningless (it has numerous meanings). I wonder what their names are (they're just bitter that their parents probably didn't think when naming them; just chose something easy and common... David, John, Zack, Phillip...) Booooooooooooooo.

MY SON'S NAME IS KAI WHICH COMES FROM HIS GERMAN SIDE OF THE FAMILY. WE LOVE IT AND SO DOES HE.

In Chinease, it means: trI'mphant, music of trI'mph,peaceful and happy. Great name.

I had never heard the name before and then'twice in one day just recently. A rescue dog named Kai and I did a quiz on FB "your name in Chinese" and it was Kai which meant "victory", so It'said. I do like the name though.

It's such a cool name! I love it because it not just Hawaiian but It's Japanese too and it mean the'same thing, sea.If I have a son I will name him Kai no matter what anyone says about it.

My new little grandson is called Kai Christopher and i just love the name Kai and the meaning, beautiful name!

Kai is a popular name in Wales were I come from. It is spelt in various ways, which are all pronounced the'same way - Kai, Cai, Cei (pronunciation rhymes with sky or tie) My son has the long form, Ceiron, but everyone calls him Cei. It is an old name in Wales which is taken from the name of King Arthur's brother, the knight - Cai (Anglicized to Sir Kay) from the original Welsh Arthurian Tales. It does not mean "keeper of the Key" in Welsh, it was just Cai's name, the nearest associated meaning in Welsh would therefore be along the lines of "a warrior" or "brave knight" or similar.

My Husband and I would love to have a boy, just so that we can name him Kai!!! We love it!!!

I love the name kai, becouse it is so unusuall,I have got twin boys on the way and we are thinking of calling them conner and kai, its a name that will make the child stand out, but in a positive way! unlike if you called a child apple!

My son's name is Christopher Kai but we call him Kai. I think it is beautiful and a strong male name. We also have a daughter named Kyra (pronounced Key-ra) and I love having unique names for both of my kids. People will always mispronounce a unique name but that doesn't make it any less cool of a name.

I just had a baby boy and named him Kai Ashley Evans. Everyone really loved it and my nan even said how much It'suited him. :)

I just don't like it. It'sounds like just another trendy, cutesie baby'sh sounding name. I know people in the'states use it for that reason. Not because it is Hawaiian or for what it means. Those are just excuses. Americans love trendy baby cutie-pie sounding names and never consider how it fits the child when he'she is age 45. What, do they think their babies will be babies forever❤️ Sad.

I love the name Kai! We named our third son Kai and we get one of two things. Blank stares. Those are usually the folks that I would never take advice from to begin with ;) and then'there are surprised looks and many compliments at what a strong nice name it is. I think it is a creative name that carries with It'so many positive attributes, especially as a male name, especially stren'th.

I'm a Brit living in Japan and this is the name my Japanese wife and I chose for our son. It has the advantage of sounding like both a European and a Japanese name. Written in Japanese kanji we use the character for "ocean".

My name is Kai, I live in Germany, It's fairly common here and It's been around since the 80s.

My 10 year old son is named Carson Kai. When he was born my husband was not comfortable giving him Kai as his first name. He felt it was too unusual. We called our son Carson for the first 6 years of his life until one summer he decided Carson was too common of a name. It took a while to make the change but now everyone knows him as Kai. The funny thing was that he'started wrestling at a new club and the coach told him he would have to be called "Little Kai" because they already had a Kai at the club!! We live in Illinois where traditional names are the norm. Now we have a friend who is adopting their second son from China and will be naming him Kai too. Our Kai truly embodies all of the meanings attributed to his name. It is nice that he was able to choose it and that it fits him so well.

This is my sons name. People always spell it wrong. They say and spell it Landon.

We are probably going to name our daughter'sadie when she is born. It doesn't bother me that'some people name their dogs Sadie because people have long been using people names as dog names. It just means It's a cute name and that they love their dog. Our son's name is Charlie. Do you know how many dogs are named Charlie❤️ Millions. It doesn't matter. Sadie is a beautiful name.

My name is Kai pronounced like Ki, and I think it is a beautiful name. I am often complemented on the beauty and unique nature of my name. There are lots of boys and girls of all ethnicities named Kai. The name is very diverse as it is found in Japanese, Chinese, Scandinavian, Navajo Indian, African, and Hawaiian cultures. It is a name with a lot of meaning, so it is okay as a fist name for anyone.

I am 5 months pregnant with my third child. I totally love the name Kai for a girl but i think i am going to put a super twist on it and name her Kai-Lee Lu Gessler i know sum people will confuse it as kylie when'they hear it but i dont mind explaining it.I have to do something cool for her name'since my other girl's name is Shilynn Aiyahna Gessler!!

I recently adopted a three month old sI'mese kitten from the'spca. Out of no where the name came to mind and after researching all the meanings and views, i like it even more it is simple but i do like the'strong back ground meanings of the names. Thank you for all your postings.

Its my middle-name and I like it! I am a 38-year old boy from germany, and I hardly ever meet other "Kai's". The pronounciation is, as mentioned above, like "SKY" without the "S". The best proven but yet least known meaning of the name is like-> "he who holds/carries/throws the'spear" and It's a CELTIC name. greetz from germany

I love the name Kai. If i ever have a boy i will definitely use it.

Kai is such a cool name. I Love it and am defen'tly considering calling my first child it.

The comment about the name Tamela being one of the 1000 most popular names - how is that possible❤️ i've met one Tamela - I'm 52 and like my name. Sounds like all of us have the'same problems with our name. If there were 182 Tamelas for every 1 million births in the 60s then'that means that there was 1 Tamela for every 10,000 girls born in that decade. I use my hands to make a T when I say my name is Tamela - like Pamela with a T like Tom -

Killer name, funny to read all the thumbs downerz.. what a bunch of KOOKS. My son name Kai, he from Bali Indo...Big brown and strong

My name is Kai and so far, no one has ever : pronounced it wrong, made fun of me for it, beat me, or mistaken me for someone else. Around here, the name "Kai" is synonimous with "that crazy Russian that will kick your butt". My heritage is Japenese and Russian and when people ask me about my very Japanese name, its pretty cool that people are actually inter'sted in finding out its meaning. I don't know why people are giving this name a thumbs down. But you know what❤️ At least my name is not "John" or "Matt".

My name is Kai and I'm 10 years old. It is awesome and i've only met one person with my name and it was a boy. Only his name was spelled Kye. Sometimes people call me Kia...I hate that.

I love my name! To be honest girls love it, too. ;-)

I named my son Kai after his great grandfather who was from Denmark. I loved the name and had never heard it before. Most people ask how it is spelled and think they did not hear it right. He was born in 2002 and I have run into several people with the name but most think it is a Hawaiian name.

My son's name is Kai Harlen Richard...middle names after his grandpa's. He is almost 5 and everyone I know loves the name. His baby'sister's name is Kenzi. I personally think the name "Kai" is very masculine and bold. People rarely miss pronounce his name. If Kai had been a girl..I was going to name him/her Kylee.

My youngest son is named Kai and we love it. It'suits him perfectly, reflects his dual heritage (American/Indian) and is contemporary, yet classic. He has been able to spell it for at least a year. Some people do misspell or mispronounce it as "Kia or Kay" but people do that to my name and it is Jennifer!

Kai is one of the rare names that is spelled the'same way and has strong, positive meanings in many languages. Those who've given it thumbs down obviously don't know the meaning(s) of it!

whats up , my name is Lance nayager ,I'm frm SA, AND I HAVENT MET ANYONE WITH MY NAME AS YET.my friends call me lancey , lancey poor ,lanz. BEST ONE IS :LANCE WERE'S UR PANTS .i EVEN MADE UP A SONG WITH THE NAME LANCE

Kai is my name and its awesome. Its unique and people love it. i've never met anyone else named kai but i hope to someday. I'm not sure why anyone would give my name a thumbs down because its so COOL!!

Pronounced k-eye (ky) Most people we have met LOVE the name. we have met 2 people named Kai. people never mis pronounce it when'they read it but they do ask occasionally how to spell it when'they ask his name

My son's name is Kai. It'suits my strong, independent-minded boy. For all those naysayers, let's think outside of the box. No one in my son's life will ever have to say "Kai who❤️" Open up.

My grandsons' name is Kai. I was somewhat concerned at first because I had a female friend named Kai and could not get used to it as a male name. Now I think his name'suits him to a "T". I get very positive feedback about his name though it is unusual in Canada.

i love the name kai. The kai I know is very outgoing and friendly, and handsome!

my son is due in Dec. and I plan on naming him Kai. His Fathe's nad His fathe's- fathe's name is Kailash. I'm breaking tradition. At least he'll get the first three letters.
