Oh for the love of all that is decent!! Why? WTF?? And these are the sort of people the yoof want to emulate. Poor little beggar

yelpol · 02/11/2009 19:54

i really don't think it's so bad - much better than apple, pixie, etc...

gigglewitch · 02/11/2009 19:53

spot on fannybanjo
half the kids in liverpool will be called the same in the next year or so

I think the kai bit is fine, but like the majority round here I reckon the Wayne bit was, er, unnecessary. And really really doesn't "go".
They should've asked mumsnet

Tide, yes, no doubt baby Kai won't be saddled with the double barrel Kai-Wayne, as usual, a lot of boys take their father's first name as a middle name.

herjazz · 02/11/2009 19:48

it sounds like a small child narrating their kung foo moves

arf at it being wayne kai instead

Tidey · 02/11/2009 19:44

I was working on the assumption that Wayne was the baby's middle name, not part of his first name. When I read that she'd had the baby I was expecting the usual celeb nonsense name, y'know... Atlas or Pomegranate or whatever. Kai, whilst not being my cup of tea, is nowhere near as bad as I thought. Using the dad's name as a middle name is fairly common, isn't it? (As in 'seen frequently', not the other kind)

UnquietDad · 02/11/2009 19:41

Wayne's dad is called Wayne? It gets worse. I might have known.

fannybanjo · 02/11/2009 19:40

I am very surprised they have gone for Kai, I thought she would have gone to something far more traditional, not sure why. Kai is okay, not my cup of tea but Kai Wayne is a piss take surely? I reckon they might come out with the "real" name in the next couple of days.

Kai Wayne said in a heavy scouse accent (I am scouse so can take the piss) is not pleasant on the ears. "Keeyeiwainnnneeee, gerr here NOW!" - oh fucking hell. Poor kid.

well said Northern

Stroplet · 02/11/2009 19:33

Wayne's dad is called Wayne, so they seem to be carrying on the family tradition. Coleen's mum is called Colette. Why I retain these facts, I am not sure. Kai Rooney is not too bad. Could be worse, at least it's a proper name.

Northernlurker · 02/11/2009 19:28

Well I wouldn't use it but then I don't know where to start listing the differences between Coleen and Wayne and dh and I so that's not surprising.

It's not the worst name ever and it's not the best - I'm sure he's a lovely, lovely baby though and a source of great pleasure and joy to his parents. Let's just all dwell on that whilst we wince about the name!

To be fair my dh dosent like it himself but I dont think its a vile name.

sazzerbear · 02/11/2009 18:49

Kai carp?

Hulababy · 02/11/2009 18:43

Not my choice. Guess it could be worse though.

forehead · 02/11/2009 18:42

Chavastic name

bumpsoon · 02/11/2009 18:40

hahahahahahahahahah oops i think a little bit of wee came out

Brightfield · 02/11/2009 18:14

Kai is ok. Cai even better.

Wayne is ok as a MN.

Not to my taste but not awful IMO.

boodleboot · 02/11/2009 17:58

oh dear sorry laughalot - my post looked very rude coming after yours...twas unintentional....

boodleboot · 02/11/2009 17:56

i like the name Cai but think that spelt with a K is not pleasant. Wayne is about the worst boys name i can think of....

laughalot · 02/11/2009 17:11

My husband is wayne its not all that bad

FimboFortunaFeet · 02/11/2009 17:09

At least Kai is a name, not some made up nonsense.

Colway

Waycol

Colwayne

etc etc

teameric · 02/11/2009 17:07
