Kai was named after a camp leader I had a teeny crush on. I just got back from a camping/rock climbing trip with the Mini school program at my school. One of our leaders' names was Kai-tech. I thought Kai sounded nice and I've always had a thing for uncommon names so I picked that. It was between Kai, Blaze (the white blaze on his head), Chip (as in, chocolate chip) and Zeke.

Kaedyn was Milo when we adopted him. He didn't respond to it at all so I wanted to change it since I didn't like the name. I was just putting random words together in my head one night. It went from Cajun to Kaydin. Then I just fiddled with the spelling.
