I love this name. About a dozen years ago i named my son something else but tried to nickname him Kai. Sadly, it didn’t stick. Still a great name though.

Thank you for the flashback. I used to have such a huge radio crush on Kai Ryssdal (we’re talking a good 10 years ago). I’m a fan of the name!

Pretty sure Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik just named their DAUGHTER Khai.
I don't like the name, for a boy or a girl.

This describes the only Kai I know. He's still a teenager, but I could easily see him attending Harvard. Smart, sweet, down-to-earth family.


There you have it.

I like it.

It was the 100th most popular boys name in 2019--but it's been steadily moving up (was in the 400s in 2000)

I love the name, but yet it’s been used a lot lately.

Florida? Go figure, it is more of a cold climate name to me

I would imagine that every other boy in Florida would be called either Ernest or Hemingway.


My son is a friend of Kai here in AZ. His dad is Hawaiian, so I just assumed that's where the name came from. Wherever it's from, I love that name!


Looks like it is independently loved by many nations.. and the meaning in Hawaiian is beautiful.
In Hawaiian, Kai is a unisex name which means "sea" in Hawaiian language or “ocean”.
