Agree on a name, now how to spell

[name]Kaia[/name], [name]Caia[/name], Caya, [name]Kaiah[/name]. Pronunciation Rhymes with [name]Maia[/name].
Thanks for your help!

I like [name]Caia[/name]. The C makes it more unique. Pretty choice!

inkonherfingers · July 14, 2012, 7:17pm

I prefer [name]Kaia[/name], because the pronunciation seems fairly clear that way.

I agree I love this name and the spelling [name]Caia[/name]. Plus [name]Caia[/name] was a [name]Roman[/name] goddess, so I like the history behind this spelling. Great choice!

i kind of like [name]Kiah[/name] - but of your choices, [name]Caia[/name] looks the coolest and [name]Kaia[/name] the most likely to be pronounced correctly.

[name]Caia[/name], I feel like it makes the name softer

nat108 · July 14, 2012, 7:37pm

[name]Kaia[/name] will be pronounced correctly

[name]Caia[/name] or Caya will be called “cay-uh”

gblondie · July 14, 2012, 7:38pm

I agree, and she’s is more likely to get that hard “k” sound this way

agirlinred · July 14, 2012, 7:40pm

I like [name]Caia[/name] or [name]Kaia[/name].

Caya looks like it should be pronounced “kay-ah” and the “h” at the end of [name]Kaiah[/name] is unnecessary.

[name]Caia[/name], [name]Kaia[/name], or [name]Kaya[/name]. In that order. But double check initials and stuff and make sure that K or C isn’t going to make her initials something awkward. If C makes it weird, then use [name]Kaia[/name].

[name]LOVE[/name] [name]Caia[/name], I know one. Such a beautiful name. [name]Kaia[/name] is pretty also.

teacup42 · July 14, 2012, 9:00pm

[name]Kaia[/name]. It looks pretty and I also think it is the clearest in terms of pronunciation.

jasmine.lee · July 14, 2012, 9:18pm

[name]Kaia[/name] is the best.

I like [name]Kaia[/name]. It’s one of the only “C/K” names where I prefer the K… and I love the history with the K, as well. It’s a Scandinavian form of [name]Katherine[/name], meaning “pure”, which I love. [name]Caia[/name] doesn’t have the same history. It’s pretty… just doesn’t appeal to me quite as much.

Good luck!

kala_way · July 14, 2012, 9:45pm

[name]Kaia[/name] or [name]Caia[/name]. I agree with the others, it depends on which is more important to you

greater chance of right pronunciation (though she’ll be schooling 70% of people no matter what)
or 2) history and beauty

Brfechter · July 14, 2012, 9:47pm

[name]Caia[/name] or [name]Kaia[/name]. I personally prefer [name]Caia[/name] because of its [name]Roman[/name] history. I think most people are relatively aware of this name and won’t mess it up. If you use [name]Kaya[/name], or Caya it may get pronounced [name]Kay[/name] - ah.

emiliaj · July 14, 2012, 9:49pm

It depends on how you want it pronounced. I am assuming [name]KY[/name]-ah?
Of your options I like [name]Kaia[/name]:
[name]Kaia[/name]: Greek meaning Pure, prn [name]Ky[/name]-ya. Or on nameberry they say it is the feminine version of [name]Kai[/name]- meaning ‘Sea’.

[name]Caia[/name] is a different name- nameberry says: it’s a feminine form of [name]Caius[/name] and means “to rejoice” and I suspect people may say [name]KAY[/name]-ah.

I also like [name]Kiah[/name] -but that is also a different name. It’s African and means- start of the season. The prn is slightly different [name]KY[/name]-ah. (Nameberry doesn’t list this meaning though)

freehal · July 14, 2012, 9:53pm

I vote [name]Kaia[/name]. [name]Caia[/name] looks like it would be a soft “c”.
