Hello,

We are a Korean family, who have just moved from Hawaii, and are looking for names for our son.

Our top names are Aidan and Kai, I think we will go for one of these Smile which do you prefer?

Thank you.

PS if you do choose Aidan, definitely go with that spelling

Aidan. As someone else said, Kai is a common name.

I don't like Kai where there is no cultural significance but, given you are Hawaiian/Korean and (huge assumption!) have a surname to match, I think it changes the feel of the name.

Aidan, not keen on Kai for the reasons mentioned above I'm afraid, although 'ocean' is a lovely meaning. Aidan is a really nice name Smile

I'm not quite sure why, but I really agree with it.

I didn'r even know Kai also meant Ocean. But it's imo a loverlier choice than Aidan...

I really like both!

Shoot. Typing with a broken screen (I'm too clumsy to own a mobile phone, I guess...)is apparently a really really bad idea.

Oh well, I think my comment still made sense (probably. Maybe...) Blush

Someone already said it. Kai is food in NZ. Definitely not good.

Aidan.

Kai just reminds me of the Rooneys.
