I automatically think Kampgrounds of [name_u]America[/name_u]. Disregarding that I think it sits fine with [name_m]Eli[/name_m] and [name_u]Ari[/name_u]. I do like it’s warm, natural sound.

[name_m]Koa[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Koa[/name_m] [name_m]Jacob[/name_m]
[name_m]Koa[/name_m] [name_u]Denali[/name_u]
[name_m]Koa[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Koa[/name_m] [name_m]Adrian[/name_m]
[name_m]Koa[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Koa[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_m]Koa[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_m]Koa[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Koa[/name_m] [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]

Can I suggest [name_m]Lev[/name_m] instead of [name_m]Koa[/name_m]? It would mesh better with his brothers’ names, and still has the 3 letter vibe…

I really like [name_m]Koa[/name_m]! It’s not Hebrew/biblical like [name_m]Eli[/name_m] and [name_u]Ari[/name_u], but it is three letters. [name_f]Noa/name_f is more expected with [name_m]Eli[/name_m] and [name_u]Ari[/name_u], but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with [name_m]Koa[/name_m] in that sibset. I like its soft -a ending paired with the strong “ko” sound. The Hawaiian meaning, “warrior,” is cool. The koa tree is also among the first to grow in volcanic ash, which I find very poetic.

I actually am a big fan of the name because I really love K names for boys.

I like the name [name_m]Koa[/name_m], but I will say that to me it evokes very strong ties to Hawaiian culture. in that sense is a bit unexpected with your other sons’ names.

I also really like the name [name_u]Kai[/name_u], which is also a three-letter Hawaiian name beginning with “k”, but with other heritages as well (Northern Europe, several [name_f]Asian[/name_f] languages, and I’ve even heard Hebrew through the link to [name_m]Chaim[/name_m]) so feels less “exclusively” Hawaiian to me. [name_m]Just[/name_m] putting it out for your consideration.

If you go with [name_m]Koa[/name_m] I’d use a Hebrew-origin me in the middle, since that would be a common thread with [name_u]Ari[/name_u] and [name_m]Eli[/name_m].
