Kai Wayne

[thesecondcocking]

what do we think? it's the name of Wayne and Coleen Rooneys newly born son.
Not overkeen myself...

My husband is wayne its not all that bad

i like the name Cai but think that spelt with a K is not pleasant. Wayne is about the worst boys name i can think of....

oh dear sorry laughalot - my post looked very rude coming after yours...twas unintentional....

Kai is ok. Cai even better.

Wayne is ok as a MN.

Not to my taste but not awful IMO.

hahahahahahahahahah oops i think a little bit of wee came out

Chavastic name

Not my choice. Guess it could be worse though.

Kai carp?

To be fair my dh dosent like it himself but I dont think its a vile name.

Well I wouldn't use it but then I don't know where to start listing the differences between Coleen and Wayne and dh and I so that's not surprising.

It's not the worst name ever and it's not the best - I'm sure he's a lovely, lovely baby though and a source of great pleasure and joy to his parents. Let's just all dwell on that whilst we wince about the name!

Wayne's dad is called Wayne, so they seem to be carrying on the family tradition. Coleen's mum is called Colette. Why I retain these facts, I am not sure. Kai Rooney is not too bad. Could be worse, at least it's a proper name.

well said Northern

I am very surprised they have gone for Kai, I thought she would have gone to something far more traditional, not sure why. Kai is okay, not my cup of tea but Kai Wayne is a piss take surely? I reckon they might come out with the "real" name in the next couple of days.

Kai Wayne said in a heavy scouse accent (I am scouse so can take the piss) is not pleasant on the ears. "Keeyeiwainnnneeee, gerr here NOW!" - oh fucking hell. Poor kid.

Wayne's dad is called Wayne? It gets worse. I might have known.

I was working on the assumption that Wayne was the baby's middle name, not part of his first name. When I read that she'd had the baby I was expecting the usual celeb nonsense name, y'know... Atlas or Pomegranate or whatever. Kai, whilst not being my cup of tea, is nowhere near as bad as I thought. Using the dad's name as a middle name is fairly common, isn't it? (As in 'seen frequently', not the other kind)

it sounds like a small child narrating their kung foo moves

arf at it being wayne kai instead

Tide, yes, no doubt baby Kai won't be saddled with the double barrel Kai-Wayne, as usual, a lot of boys take their father's first name as a middle name.

spot on fannybanjo
half the kids in liverpool will be called the same in the next year or so

I think the kai bit is fine, but like the majority round here I reckon the Wayne bit was, er, unnecessary. And really really doesn't "go".
They should've asked mumsnet

i really don't think it's so bad - much better than apple, pixie, etc...

Oh for the love of all that is decent!! Why? WTF?? And these are the sort of people the yoof want to emulate. Poor little beggar

We're just reacting to the name Wayne though no? And there is a family connection for that one...

I just think that when you put Rooney ont he end of Kai, it sounds a bit like a single word.

Kai Rooney.

Kyrooney.

i like kai it was top of my list a few months back, but i think kai and wayne sounds ridiulous! sounds like taiwan or something

only thing I think of, as a Star Trek fan, is the character Kai Winn

I was cracking up over this and telling DH about the posts etc (love the Kung Fu move). Then he shook his head and said I don't know why people have to be so cruel, people should just be happy for them.

I feel really bad now.
