Kai

[jingjongjollyfeckers]

I do like it but is it chavvy?

If so, alternatives?

Don't like it.
Sorry

Chavvy round here I'm afraid :-(

Awful. But I don't like K names.

I'd never heard of it before Wayne and Colette Rooney's child, but don't like it

What is it about it you like? One syllable? Strong consonant start? Vowel ending?

Yes, it was actually seeing that Wayne Rooney had a 'Kai' that made me have second thoughts!

No idea why I like it - short, snappy, unusual (around these country bumpkin parts anyway and I work in primary school)

Yup proper chavvy

It's a dogs name

Awful sorry. Trying to think of similar sounding names

Corbin or Corey or Corrin

Short snappy

Max

The only Kai I've met had an ASBO.

Then again there are plenty of Kais I haven't met who don't have ASBOs. .

Just don't call him Nigel.

I know a woman who named her son Kaiser "Kai"

I used to like the name Kai, it reminded me of the Snow Queen. I think it does have 'chavvy' connotations now though, unfortunately.

I always thought it was a wayne Rooney type name but I've recently met a very middle class well educated couple with a baby Kai so maybe it's not. It's not too my taste though, I'm not so keen on one syllable names (but that's just my personal preference).

Incidentally, in Germany, where I currently live, it's a bit of a middle-aged man's name. Definitely not cool or trendy!

Could you use Kit as an alternative (short for Christopher/Christian)?

Kai is a dogs name. Kit is beautiful!

I'm not a fan.

I do like Kit though, or how about Max, Jude, Seth or Stan.

It's really awful, IMO.

I like Max but with the surname it sounds like a porn star... don't know why but it just does!!

I like it

It's dog rough round here. Don't like it at all.

It's funny that it's seen as such a "chavvy" name.

The only Kai I ever knew was a public school bo, skater who grew up to be a cyber goth...

We like Malachi nn Kai, that could be an option? Although if what you like is the short name then you might like:

Troy
Blake
Leo
Theo
Eli

Cai (with a C) is a name I have a liberal sprinkling of in my family tee going back many generations so I see it very positively but it looks like many don't.
