I went through loads before I picked Kai. We narrowed it down to blaze, chip, mocha, skittles, pogo, zeke, coco and keiko (if we got a girl). The name Kai wasn't even in the list until the very last moment. I had returned from a school camping trip a few days before we were deciding on names and one of my leaders happened to be named Kai-tech. I had a bit of a crush on him lol (ack..I like everyone lol)...and decided to shorten it to Kai.
