Opinions please!

[Wellonlyifihavetoo]

I love the name Kaia for our baby girl, dh not so keen but it would fit with our 2 older dds names which are slightly more unusual but not daft 🙂 any opinions?

I like it but you'll get the 'is it Kay-ah or 'Ky-ah' pronounciation issues (incidentally I like both!)

That’s true, might have to play with the spelling a bit!

Keira?...

Don't choose any name where you have to "play with the spelling". It will be a nightmare for the child and screams "parent made up my name to try and be yuneeq!"

No unique spellings, it sucks for their entire life!

Gaia instead?

Dh not keen on Gaia either, think il stick with Kaia and wear him down! 😂

Please don't. Is it an actual name?

It is an actual name. I know a Kaya and a Kaia, both pronounced Kai-uh

It’s definitely a name lol 😂 cindy Crawfords daughter is called Kaia.

Not one I have ever heard of. I wouldn't judge a name by whether a celeb uses it or not. Apple anyone?!

You obviously don’t like it, I get it, opinion noted.

Kaia is definitely a name. It's Norwegian and Estonian in origin, and is traditionally a diminutive, but is accepted as a standalone name. DH is Norwegian and has a Kaia in his family.

I like it.

Thank you! 🙂

There was a thread on May Mai recently.
Mai is a Welsh name. Lovely if you're Welsh.
I wouldn't give a Norwegian name to a non Norwegian without any Norwegian connections. Seems very odd.

I like it - go for it

I like it too, it's very pretty.

I have a friend with that name pronounced Ka-Ya the name is real .. some names fits babies/toddlers but when they grow into adults the name sounds ridiculous and for me Kaia is one of those names amongst many.

Wolfie That makes no sense. Maia is popular (for a similar-sounding example), and I doubt everyone with a Maia is Greek.

Kaia is not unheard of in non-Nordic countries.

I wouldn't use a name that had origins I had no connection to. I find it odd.

You'd be in the minority, then, Wolfie.

Some of the most popular names in the UK are not English/British in origin.

I wouldn't use a name that had origins I had no connection to. I find it odd.

I’d love to hear your children’s names? Considering many commonly used names are Greek, Latin or Hebrew in origin, it doesn't leave many.

I’m going to assume that as they’re aren't too many Eadwigs and Mildreds around, you’re in the minority.

One of my children has a Greek name, another a very biblical name.

I'm a British Athiest Just liked the names

I know a Kya, she's 14. Pronounced Kai-a. It's ok but definitely not my style.

That’s how I want it pronounced. If we all liked the same things the world would be a boring place!

I like it. I know one as well.
