HelpRe: Baby boy born but name not feeling natural
in reply to a message by vanessayermian
August Kai Perrin is kind of difficult to say. The T and K blend together, and it sounds kind of strange. August Perrin Kai flows a lot nicer, and you could still use Kai is his nickname.
Kai August Perrin sounds nice, too. This is my favourite placing of the three names. Hyphenating is not really my thing, but Kai-August Perrin isn't terrible. It's kind of sweet. I wouldn't do August-Kai. That's really clumsy.
Kaden and Kai sound good as siblings. I'm okay with matching first letters if there are only two... any more than two, and it gets really cheesy.
If you do change his name and add in Kai somewhere, it means that at any point you can change from calling him Kai to calling him August. Both names would be his, so you could legitimately use either.
As to if you should change it at all... only you and your husband can answer that, really. If I wasn't feeling happy about the name after a month, I would change it. People will get used to it. You can either tell them that you'd rather call him Kai, and they'll eventually learn, or you can call him Kai yourselves and let everyone else know him as August. Your choice (:
