Can you ever be ready for a baby?
Before you get pregnant, you might have all the boxes ticked, or you could be the 'let's just see what happens' type. No matter what your style, it can help to think about the emotional aspects of parenthood.

Well I LOVE LOVE LOVE Kai but DP doesn't :-( & my all time favourite boys name is Ryan, we also have a surname starting with S, I would like Ryan Patrick & Kai Thomas or the other way round (both mn picks are family names, 1 from both sides). 2 other names I've started to really like are Ethan & Nathaniel DP suggested if we ever have a boy (or ever fall pregnant gggrr) he would allow me to have Nathaniel Kai so swapping it around Kai Nathaniel sounds nice also
 My pick out of you top choices would be Kai William :-) Sorry for the novel

I think I would avoid Kai William as it looks too much like Kaiser William (german empoer in WW1) - but perhaps that is an obscure connection that doesnt matter to others.
I do much prefer Ryan - however any of the other mn's go with Kai. |

| Remember you are unique...just like everyone else! | |

Are any of the names you suggested family names? I always gravitate towards the ones that have some significance or 'meaning'.
From your list I like Kai Lucas the best! |
