Cai (or the German Kai) always was one of my favourite names. I just ca`'t get used to pronouncing it like "Kay" ...I always have the German pronounciation in my head. It is...um...something like "Ki" the "i" being pronounced as in "island" ...gee it's so hard to explain German ~.~

If you mean like the begining of the word "kite" that's how I pronounce it as well!

I loove all the names! They all seem so original. Ardina is probably one of my favorite names though. So magical sounding! I love the name Maerad. I was looking at this new CD I got and the violinist is called Mairead, with those accent things on the a and e, it looks so pretty! Haha, if I named my kid Mairead, I wonder what she'll think of me.....
