For kai..I had a bazillion names. I wanted chip, blaze, keiko (we didn't know if we were getting a male or female yet), coco, moka, skittles, pogo...i'm sure there were more but those were our final choices. We picked Kai because i was at camp the week before and just fell head over heels for this guy who worked there (Kai-tek)...so I thought..why not kai? =]
