User Comments about the name Kai
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)

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 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)

What do you all think of this name?
Just curious." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Nov 01, 2008: "Im a woman and my name is Kai. I get loads of compliments on how pretty it is. I also get many people asking if its short for something. Also, everyone says "Hi, Kai! Haha that rhymes" or "Bye, Kai" they all seem to be amused with how it rhymes with everything. I love my name!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 17, 2008: "My name is Kajle (pronounced Kyle) my parrents shorten it to Kaj (Kai) and wished they had kept my name like that. I like being called Kaj (by the way the "j" is nordic I think). The one problem I have is introducing myself. "Hi I'm Kaj" sounds funny. For that reason I always introduce with my full name."
