Comment left Feb 07, 2010: "I have a 2yr old son and his name is Kai. I love his name. My daughter's name is Kyla and I love her name also. I tried to give my kids names that wouldn't be hard for people to pronounce and that didn't work. He is often called Kia and she's often called Kayla. I think it's just the laziness of people to not even try to sound out the letters. I always liked the name Kai before having my son but I was not sure about using it for a boy. I knew it was to be his name through prayer and confirmation. We call him King Kai because he is in charge. We love our Kai........." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jan 08, 2010: "My little boy's name is Kai Edward (if you were to ask him what his name is he would say, "Kai Kai"),he's 3 now and at the time when we named him I had never heard the name, I liked its originality. I do however hear it more often infact my boyfriends cousin just named her little boy Kai Edward...I know its a little wierd but hey its just a name lol...but usually when I her someone use the name its short for something like malachi, kyle, or cairo...either way it's still an awesome name ;)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 01, 2010: "My son's name is Kai(he's 3) and we ever often lengthen his name to include his middle name Noah as well. We were very 'sea' themed at the time. The only problem I have with the name Kai is that some people assume it is short for Kyle." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 16, 2009: "A name associated with both Super Sentai and Power Rangers. It was Bandora's son's name in Zyuranger (the original Super Sentai incarnation of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 1 where Bandora's name was now Rita Repulsa) as well as the name of Kai Ozu/MagiRed in Mystic Force's original Super Sentai incarnation, Mahou Sentai Magiranger, where Bandora's actress, Machiko Soga (just before her death from cancer in 2006), played Heavenly Arch Saint Magiel (aka the Mystic Mother). But when it comes to comparing Lost Galaxy with its own original Super Sentai incarnation Seiju Sentai Gingaman, Lost Galaxy is the one which has the Chinese-American Kai Chen as the Blue Galaxy Ranger, whose Gingaman counterpart is Gouki/GingaBlue."

Comment left Dec 02, 2009: "My name is Kai and I'm a girl. I only know of boys and a dog (who is a boy) with the name Kai. I think it fits both genders. Some people are not sure how to pronounce it and they have a hard time remembering it. But I do get compliments on it. I get the "Hi Kai, Bye Kai" jokes from people and sometimes when I tell people my name they think I'm saying Hi instead of Kai, which can be a bit of a problem." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Nov 02, 2009: "I think that the name Kai is a very cool name because it is my little 7 year old brothers name. Although he is a little brat and does not get in trouble for everything he is still my little brother and Ilove him as he is (A BRAT)." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Nov 02, 2009: "The boy's name Kai \
kai\, also used as girl's name Kai, is pronounced kye. It is of Welsh, Scandinavian and Greek origin, and its meaning is "keeper of the keys; earth". Variant of Kay. Also possibly (South African) "beautiful". Kai is also a Hawaiian name meaning "the sea"." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 25, 2009: "It is a cool name that someone can be proud of at any age. If our baby turns out to be a boy that will be his name. It is the one name my husband and I agreed on!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 14, 2009: "In Power Rangers Lost Galaxy Kai Chen (played by Archie Kao) is the Blue Galaxy Ranger" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 02, 2009: "Great name! Has many different meanings in a number of languages" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 05, 2009: "I named my son Kai Alexander as well and I get nothing but compliments on the name. It's funny, most people who are introduced to Kai the first time happen to know another Kai. It didn't seem very popular when my husband and I chose it, but it seems many people know at least 1 Kai from somewhere." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 22, 2009: "I love the name Kai.. I think that it is different, and I haven't met anyone with this name... I am 8 months pregnant, and am thinking of name my son Rowan Kai.
What do you all think of this name?
Just curious." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left May 25, 2009: "My name is Kai and I'm 10 years old. It is awesome and I've only met one person with my name and it was a boy. Only his name was spelled Kye. Sometimes people call me Kia...I hate that." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 29, 2009: "my son is 18moths old and is called kyrese mikell, the spelling is diffrent but he is still called ky, i speak portuguese and kai means to fall but i still love the name since i grow up in england, older people who speak portuguese do tend to pronounce it wrong or say why is he falling. but everyone i know loves his name, and i know someone else who's son is one and his name is kai too."
