Cai or Finn

[casey101]

hi still cant decide which i like best for a boy?
Please can you tell me what you like/ dont like about these names?
Cai is welsh and pronounced Kai (dont want K spelling) means happy
Finn is Irish

He will have irish roots, be born in wales and live in england then poss overseas.
Thank you! :)

Finn is more popular.
Both are sweet.
I think I have seen the meaning of Kai as "warrior"
I like cai.

I like Finn best.

Finn

Finn is lovely.

I'm welsh. I have always lived in Wales. Finn is better simply because every cai I've met ( both in my generation(3 in my school) and my dc ( 1 in each of my dc class)- is a thug

I like the sound of cai, but prefer Finn for the above reason

thank you everyone so far and pregnantpause that is really helpful/ interesting thank you. I knew the Kai spelling had some of those connotations in England but didnt realise that was the same for Cai in Wales..

I know it is snobbish, but I just can't get past the fact that Wayne Rooney's kid us called Cai/Kai.

Finn is lovely.

Is it pronounced Kye or Kay?

Bothends...it's pronounced Kye. BadHenry I know what you mean Daniella Westbrooks son is called Kai too. But then again if I live overseas no one would have that connotation? thank you btw

I personally don't like Cai, Finn is marginally better.

In that case I greatly prefer Guy. But I have no Welsh connections.

Finn. Can is horrible.

Finn. Same feeling about Cai as others, sorry.

Definitely Finn.

Cai by a long way.

Finn

Finn, Cai is awful sorry.

Finnis nicer.

I also like compund names including 'Fin', such as Fintan, Finbar, Fingal.

'compund' should be 'compound', obvs. Sorry.

I'm welsh. Liked Cai but discounted it due to similarity to Kai and connotations associated with it!

Wayne Rooney puts me off Cai.

I like the name Finn.

Finn's much nicer than Cai imo.

Thanks everyone :)

Finn - DS is a Finn and it suits him. After everything we'd been through the meaning of fair warrior was perfect too.
