Help Finalize Name :)

I am so excited, we finally found a name my fiance and I both love :slight_smile: It took a LOT of work! I like names that are more old fashioned, solid, and strong. He likes strong names as well, but he likes unique names where as I lean towards classics. So we FINALLY found a happy middle ground in [name]Konrad[/name]. So I need help with a few things!

First, do you know of any good nicknames for [name]Konrad[/name], besides Kon and [name]Rad[/name]? I was thinking Konr (like [name]Connor[/name]) but do you have any other ideas?

Also, what is your favorite of these full name choices?

[name]Konrad[/name] [name]John[/name] Kainalu ([name]Ky[/name]-NAH-loo)
[name]Konrad[/name] [name]John[/name] Kolohe (ko-LOH-hey)
[name]Konrad[/name] Johnn Kaiwi (kuh-EE-vee)
[name]Konrad[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Makani[/name] (muh-KAH-nee)
[name]Konrad[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Maika[/name]'i (My-KUH-ee)

All opinions/suggestions welcome :slight_smile:

Congrats on finding a name!! [name]Konrad[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Maika[/name]'i is my favorite of the bunch. In the other combos, the Hawaiian names don’t seem to flow with the first two, in my opinion. As for nicknames, [name]Konnie[/name] stands out as the obvious nickname to me. I know it’s well-known as a girl’s name, but I knew a [name]Conrad[/name] who went by [name]Connie[/name], and in my mind, it’s like [name]Ashley[/name] and [name]Robin[/name] in that it can also be a boy’s name. Or you could always call him KJ, which is super cute. Or you could use the Hawaiian name to base his nickname off of.

I think Kona would be a cool nickname for [name]Konrad[/name]. I saw a movie with a boy named Kona (pn Coh-nuh) years ago and I always thought it was awesome but couldn’t think of any full name for it. [name]Konrad[/name] could totally work imo.

[name]Konrad[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Makani[/name] has great flow (though I knew a girl named [name]Makani[/name] once, not sure if it’s feminine?)

Congrats on finding a name you both love!

Thank you for all your help! I [name]LOVE[/name] the suggestions of Kona as a nickname, or using his middle name for a nickname… hawaiian names are so cool! And I love the meaning of [name]Maika[/name]'i (handsome). [name]Makani[/name] means wind and can be feminine or masculine. KJ is adorable too :slight_smile:

I prefer [name]Conrad[/name] over the K spelling, but if you’re set on the K… I really love [name]Konrad[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Makani[/name], very cool and handsome.

I love [name]Konrad[/name]! It’s on my list as well, and I think it’s so handsome :slight_smile: If we were to ever use it, we’d use the nickname [name]Rad[/name], because, well, it’s so rad :wink: [name]Konrad[/name] [name]John[/name] Kolohe is my favorite full name option. Good luck!

Thanks everyone! :slight_smile: I actually prefer the ‘C’ spelling as well, but he insists that K is way better. I am just happy we have an awesome name that we both [name]LOVE[/name]! This is what we decided on…

[name]Konrad[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Maika[/name]'i

Nickname Kona is my favorite, but I guess it will just depend on what fits him :slight_smile:

[name]Konrad[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Maika[/name]'i is so handsome. I love the suggestion of Kona for a nickname but I also like your idea of [name]Konnor[/name]/Konr. Congrats!
