i always have liked the name kai but it’s not nearly close to my style. i tend to go for more “classic” and “aged” names like jasper, hollis, freddie, simon, sebastian, felix, where kai is a more “modern” name (for lack of better terms). it’s really important to me that all my names go together so i’ve been looking for a more classic name to pair with kai to balance the vibes out a bit more.
i’ve struggled to fall in love with any full names for kai so i think this is really my last option if i were to ever use the name.
any suggestions, first or middle, are greatly appreciated. thank you in advance !!
I have thought about the same exact thing, haha! [name_f]My[/name_f] solution - [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] nn [name_u]Kai[/name_u]. (I probably won’t be able to use it, so it’s not taken, haha!)
Other ideas include [name_m]Caius[/name_m], Casimir/Kazimir, [name_m]Caio[/name_m], [name_m]Cassian[/name_m], etc - all of which could go by [name_u]Kai[/name_u].

I could hardly believe your quest for a full name on [name_u]Kai[/name_u] was on the same day I finally found my full [name_u]Kai[/name_u] name! I copy & pasted my post on it below…
I literally stumbled upon my perfect [name_u]Kai[/name_u] name yesterday! I’ve also longed for a [name_u]Kai[/name_u] for years—thinking [name_u]Micaiah[/name_u], [name_m]Mordecai[/name_m], [name_m]Caius[/name_m], and so on…and just [name_u]Kai[/name_u]— but not loving any of them.
Today, my husband and I were praying & he prayed for a “kairos moment” for someone and a lightbulb went off—Kairos! It was that moment for me, too, with this word-name. [name_u]An[/name_u] opportune moment, a revelation! All these years, and this word was right under my nose, waiting for the opportune time (ironic, isn’t it?!).
Also, the “o” goes nicely with the long o’s in our other sons’ names—Job, [name_m]Boaz[/name_m], and [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u]. Nameberry says pronunciation is Kye-Ross, but some versions I heard online sound more like Kye-Rose, with the “r” rolled a bit and the “o” sounding long.
Either way, if we ever have another boy, he’s already named: [name_m]Kairos[/name_m]
Maybe you’d like that option too. 
best of luck!
