What do you think of the name Kaia for a girl?

Any middle name suggestions?

How on earth do you pronounce it? Kay-a? Key-a? Keye-a? Don't get me wrong, I like all three versions, but I can't decide where to go with this one. My first instinct is Keye-a, like Gaia and Maia, but I'm not sure other people feel the same way.

Assuming Keye-a as the pronounciation, I like:

Kaia Jane
Kaia Isabelle
Kaia Louise
Kaia Verity
Kaia Patrice
Kaia Henrietta
Kaia Ophelia
Kaia Sophia

I agree! I've just seen so many people pronounce that "ai" really stupidly.

I really like it, actually! From the movie "Willow" isn't it the name of Willow's wife? Even with that association, I still think it is really cute!

I second that Kaia Jane is a great combo.
Kaia Jean
Kaia Michelle
Kaia Serene

Anyway...

I like it, but I like Kai better for a boy. I think Kaia might sort of sound like Kayla, which I don't like at all.

I love it and considered using it for awhile (because we really like the Hebrew name Chaya but thought my non-Jewish family would never be able to pronounce it).
Also a plus was that it is the name of Willow's wife in the movie Willow (which I love).

Ha ha it is Willow's wife, I just commented a similar thing.
And his kids were Mims and Ranaan.

Kaia Grace. I have thought of using that one.

I quite like it. I knew a girl called Kaija (pronounced the same way) and it suited her so well =) I find it hard to come up with good middle names though, sorry!

I like the name Kaia a lot but I just can't picture it on an adult.

Kaia Madeline
Kaia Autumn
Kaia Miriam

Very pretty name.

No suggestions for middle names, just wanted to put that out there.

Um, I would not use Kaia Giselle, just because if people recognize Kaia from Willow, they would also recognize the name Giselle being the wizard-lady from the same movie! :P

Kaia Deanne, that sounds really good, and so does Kaia Janelle. I like two-sylable names with the emphasis on the second sylable with Kaia. Loraine falls into this catergory, too -- just don't love that name.

Oooh! Kaia Nicole -- that is really nice!

I prefer the spelling Kaja, actually.

Kaia Marie?

I know a really cute little girl named Kaia. Probably wouldn't use the name myself but like it for someone else. :)
(Incidentally her mn is Margherita, pronounced like the drink, after her great grandmother I think)

i find Kaia to be so beautiful. i love almost any name with the hard 'k' sound.

i think Kaia is one of those names that would go well with any middle name, as long as it didn't start with a vowel sound (like Angela or Ellen or something).
