ciforjif, we take this piss because they allow us to! THey get paid shit loads of money to be taken the piss out of. If I was worth a few million you could start a thread about my DDs names and rip them to shreds all day long, I really wouldn't care less as I would be out by Kai-Wayne his Dior dummy.

I actually think Kai is OK, and much better than I was expecting - and better than many of the names I see suggested on here! [running away emoticon]

As has been said, Wayne is a middle name, not one that will be used with his first name all the time. He'll just be Kai. And giving a parent or grandparent's name as the middle name is, again, pretty common. Wayne is out of fashion as a middle name at the moment, but its time'll probably come again. Look at all the other old-fashioned names that, if you had asked people 15 years ago, they'd have laughed to think a baby would be given.

GhoulsAreLoud · 02/11/2009 20:16

I agree EightiesChick.

I always pmsl at the "I absolutely adore the name Mavis" threads.

Kai is positively sane by comparison.

FickleFairy · 02/11/2009 20:18

Absolutely horrendous. I cannot believe they would consider putting those two names together!!!

Washersaurus · 02/11/2009 20:37

'Kyrooney' is a word I can imagine Milo from the Tweenies saying for some reason.

I have never really liked the name Kai, actually prefer the name Wayne tbh. The two together are awful.

PMSL at 'WayneKai'

DandyHighwayMum · 02/11/2009 20:44

Kai isn't to my taste at all, but it's not that bad.

However, put together with Wayne and Rooney - no, no, no.

StephHaydock · 02/11/2009 21:16

lol!@Washersaurus. 'Faberooney-kai-rooney!'

I find it hilarious that Wayne's dad is also called Wayne.

jellybeans · 02/11/2009 21:55

Kai is OK but should have left Wayne off. Still, alot better than Romeo, Brooklyn etc.

LittleMissWorryHead · 02/11/2009 23:39

Was I the only one that was just quite relieved that they didn't name their baby the same as any of my children?!

Mean me.....

Divatheshopaholic · 02/11/2009 23:57

apparently mean nothing in finnish[hhmm]
better than expected

UnquietDad · 03/11/2009 00:14

at Milo from Tweenies.

diddl · 03/11/2009 08:29

I like Kai.

But I think the Wayne lets it down!

fannybanjo · 03/11/2009 09:43

Do you think they would have named the baby had she been a girl Waynetta?

sonniebonnie · 03/11/2009 09:57

I actually like Kai. I know a lovely German one.

And I also think its ok to use dad's name as his middle name (it just so happens that Kai Wayne don't sound great together), and the two names probably won't be used much together. He'll just be Kai Rooney - I like that.

bellissima · 03/11/2009 10:03

How old is 'Wayne's dad also called Wayne'? I always thought Wayne came in with the Osmonds. Oh God maybe it did and I'm just really really old and Kai's grandad was born in the 70s....

fannybanjo · 03/11/2009 10:04

bellissima, I think his parents are only in their forties.

LouMacca · 03/11/2009 10:21

Agree jellybeans - while I would never choose Kai it could be a lot worse. Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz have got to be the worst names ever........

I did expect Coleen to go for something a bit more tradtional/classy though.

honeybunmum · 03/11/2009 11:04

LouMacca- why would you think Coleen would go for something a bit more classy or traditional? Wouldn't she have to be blessed with those qualities first?

arena · 03/11/2009 11:20

Well guy's i love the name KAI, as my little beautiful special needs boy is called kai. And he is the best looking kai i have ever seen.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 03/11/2009 11:22

My sister's dog is called Kai. Apparently it means dog in cornish

loupiots · 03/11/2009 11:26

When I saw the name(s)- they did make me giggle. There's something so incongruous about Kai and Wayne together.

Personally, I dislike Kai. It wanders a bit close to 'Keanu' territory for me.
