Cai or Finn?

[casey101]

Hi guys
My son's middle name will be Christian.
Which do you think sounds nicer/ which do you like best and why:
Cai Christian or Finn Christian? Which do you like best on it's own and which best with the name Christian?
Thank you

I don't understand Kai or Cai as a name myself. It just doesn't really....say much. IMO. Finn is fine. Maybe you can make it Finlay Christian instead and shorten to Finn, as Finn Christian seems a bit abrubt when said together. Finlay Christian sounds quite good, fwiw.

Thanks LeoandBoosmum- no offense to anyone else but personally I really don't like Finley spelt any way- wheras I agree Finn sounds strong I think Finley sounds the opposite. Christian as a middle name is a definite for personal reasons thanks again :)

Finn Christian, then

Maybe you feel like that about Finlay/ Finley because a lot of girls' names end in a 'lee' sound, whereas I can't say the same about boys' names... I can only think of Charlie and Marley... Watch somebody come along now and prove me wrong! Anyhow, Finn is great!

Thanks everyone. I think I was looking at Cai because of his Welsh heritage but Finn is Irish and he ll have Irish heritage too

Finn is beautiful. So much nicer than Cai IMO. What about the alternative spelling Fionn?

Also, I know I'm probably getting ahead of myself here...but if I ever had another child if it was a girl I would call her Nia and I like Luca for a boy. I know names arent supposed to 'go together' as such but do you think both of these go with the name Finn (or Cai?)ty

Finn is a lovely name

I like both names about equally although I think I do prefer the spelling Kai. They both make me think of cool types who do a lot of surfing, snowboarding etc. I think maybe Finn goes slightly better with Christian (which I like a lot).

Thank you everyone and thank you TheHorse... what you said is perfect as that is exactly what I'm into! I do like Kai but there is someone very closely related with that name. Yes I think Finn Christian sounds poss better thank you! :)

No help but I know two boys names Kai and Finn who are firm best friends!

Aw nowwearefour that's so cute!

Elphaba - I lived in North West Wales for a lot of my life and I've heard Cai used a fair few times. Mind you, most of the baby boys are called Jack.

I prefer Cai to Finn. To me, Finn looks a bit incomplete.

Cai and Luca sound like brothers. I'm not keen on Nia though, despite it being DD1's middle name.

I prefer Cai. Knew several when I lived in North West Wales, and know a couple here in NE Wales. Nice but not overly popular.

Thanks everyone looks like it's slightly more Finns than Cais as preferred names- I think around 8 vs 5! Btw Happypogostick thanks for the suggestion but Fionn just reminds me of Fiona even though I know it's an authentic Irish name. It's weird just when I think I've made up my mind then I read another comment and change my mind! Really appreciate everyones comments though :) Do you think Cai and Kai as close relatives is a bit much?
