Do you think the name Ma’Kai (muh-ky) is suitable for a boy?

Question

Accepted Answer

Makai works. The whole apostrophe thing, though... just no.

Answer

Makai is a nice name, with the apostrophe just makes me think of the teacher in South Park (Mm’Kay?)

Answer

My son will be Malakai. Kai as a nickname. I love the names with Kai in them lol

Answer

sorry just reminds me of mr mackey lol

Answer

I think the apostrophe makes it awkward because Ma'something is often used to mean "my something" like I can't find ma'keys. So the name spelled that way feels awkwardly possessive to me.  Without the apostrophe I think it's a nice name.

Answer

Isn't it a boys name anyway? My nephew is called Mekhi.

Answer

He’ll probably be called the wrong name by teachers and classmates and future coworkers but other than I’ve heard nothing like it 🤷‍♀️

Answer

One of my son’s middle names is Makai. Definitely don’t do an apostrophe.

Answer

I teach a child and his name is Mikei and it’s pronounced the same way and I love his name, it fits him and his personality ♥️

Answer

Yes I know a boy named Makai.
