I teach two year olds at a private preschool/day care place. Here are some of the names (I don't have my list, lets see if I can think of the 10 names, LOL)

Zane
Manuel
Gabriel
Micheala (Mia)
Sebastian (Buddy)
Spencer (He goes by RYKER. I had no idea that wasn't his real name.)
Benito
Kai (pronounced K-EYE. I would have pronounced it Kay)
Dylan
Rachel


Not too bad, the names.

they're all decent, and I'm pretty sure kai is always pronounced k-eye.

I've seen Kai used as a nickname for Malakai, not really my style though.

I like Sebastian and Kai. Benito is a bit of a GP name for me. Overall, they are really decent names.

Benito just makes me think of Mussolini, although I'm aware it's not uncommon and thus is also in use by thousands of non-dictators.

I think Kai's fairly common and always pronounced to rhyme with eye, no?

That's an interesting variation of names. I like Manuel and Michaela (yay, it's spelled right!). And kind of funny that anyone would name their kid Benito anymore.

Yeah, Kai has risen into the 200s in the US by now and in the UK and Australia it's been in the top 100 for awhile. But the only Kai I've ever known was my age and from Germany.

Kai sounds like a dog's name to me.
