I worked with a Kaja once. She was lovely and smart, and I think of those things when I hear the name.

It's always been one of my faves and is on my short list for our girl due in May Smile

Is it the feminine version of Kai? I've never heard of it...

Don’t like it at all tbh.

I don’t like it, sorry. It’s a bit chavy imo.

I like it. Both the girls I know with this name (junior school aged) are from v middle class, creative/boho type families, fwiw.

Cindy Crawford's daughter, the new supermodel, is called Kaia. It's a nice name.

I prefer it spelt Caia, but I think it's lovely either way.

I know one, she’s 12. It’s a lovely name. I like Kai too (for a boy).

I really don’t like it. Sounds cheap and made up.

MonsteraDeliciosa · 12/03/2018 22:36

I also think it sounds made up. Is it actually a name?

I like it. It makes me think of Kaia Gerber (Cindy Crawford's daughter) and she is gorgeous.

Pretty sure it's Nordic or just a different spelling of Kaja which is Scandinavian.

Love the automatic 'it sounds foreign' response on Mumsnet which is then covered up with 'sounds made up'

See it all the time, especially with Kaia, Aaliyah, etc.

I like it which is weird for me as I dislike Kai.

But I prefer Kaya which I think is Native American.

Either way it has a lovely sound and it’s feminine yet strong sounding and suits a baby girl all through life to an elderly lady

I like it - think of Kaia Gerber
