Sorry, me again!

[Danniiaddy]

Sorry for the second post about a baby boy name!
So... twins are due imminently - a boy and a girl.
Girl will be named Clara Florence Rae but we’ve been stuck on a name for our boy.

We both quite like Kai Alexander Michael.

Surname begins with V and is 3 syllables.

We would like the babies to have 2 middle names to honour family members on both sides.

Is the name too chavvy? Does it go with Clara?

We did like Rowan for a boy but that has become more a girl’s name and also Roman is too popular so we vetoed it!
I liked Kit but DH hates it!

We can’t have any names beginning with T, D, H, B, I, N or U as initials TV/DV/BV/HV/IV/NV/UV aren’t great!

Names we vetoed

George
Oscar
Oliver
James
Jaxon
Mason
Adam
Mark
Charlie
Christopher
Elliott
Finn
Finley
Lewis
Lucas
Quinn
Rowan

Really stuck and only a few weeks to go!

I really don’t think Kai goes with Clara.
I see Clara as a very classic name and Kai is a bit modern and tbh is a bit chavvy where I am.

I do feel your pain though. I had boy/girl twins 3 weeks ago and boys name were SO difficult. We went with Frederick (Freddie). Other names we had on our list were Sebastián, Henry, Arthur and Milo and Luca.

John? Jack? Luke? Marcus? Cian?

As the middle names are quite long, I think a shorter first name would be better. Not keen on Kai.

Carl
Kurt
John
Paul
Scott
Heath
Timothy (Tim)

Personally, I don't think that most of those initials would cause any problems.

Paul is such a lovely name and definitely due a revival. You'll be ahead of the curve .
It's surely only a matter of time before Peter and Paul come back - theyre lovely gentle but strong names.

Blake?

Kai is very, very bad. It might just be MN's Worst Name Ever.

Harvey?

Joel
Aiden
Craig
Jacob
Samuel
Tobias

How about Matthew? Very underused these days

Instead of Kai- how about Kasper

I agree with @flooredbored. I don't see an issue with those initials. For all you know, in a few years time the initials KV might be an acronym for something much worse!

I can’t say Kai and Clara without tripping up - no good for the playground

What about

Orry
Harry
Henry
Fredrick
Patrick
Joseph

I agree Kai is too modern with Clara.

How about:
Jasper
Franklin
Francis
Grant
Arlo

Rhys
Alden
Carson
Carter
Sterling

Gunnar
Soren
Jensen
Stellan
Axel

Orson
Kingston
Sawyer
Sinclair
Wyatt

Zander (and think of a replacement for Alexander as a MN)
Zane
Asa
Asher
Hollis

Jude
Jonah
Jonas
Kyle

Sorry, forget Hollis.

Clara and Otis

Conrad
Magnus
Caspar
John

Clara is beautiful, Kai isn't, it's a totally different style of name. Alexander is nice and goes well with Clara.

I like the suggestions of Guy and Conrad. How about Gus or Erik?

Echo Jacob :) I think it’s a lovely name

Kai sounds mega chavvy. Clara is nice and timeless.

Kai is not nice.

Clara and Quinn would be lovely together!

Kain or Kane
Kirk
Konrad
Guy
Leo or Leon
Dirk
Giles

I can see why you would avoid the initials BV and DV, but why avoid ones like IV and UV when your girl will have the initials CV?

Laurie/ Laurence? Such a lovely timeless name .

I've got a lovely Kai. I know a lot of people don't like it, as you can see on this thread, but I love it.
I also think it's goes quite well with Clara even though they are both different styles.

Clara and Flynn
Clara and Everett
Clara and Nicholas
Clara and Jonas
Clara and Jude
Clara and Ross
Clara and Rupert
Clara and Rueben
