The name Kai could be set to catapult up the Bounty baby name ranks with the arrival of baby Kai Wayne Rooney, born 2 November weighing in at 7lbs 12oz.
Kai, which is popular in Scandinavian and Welsh, means ‘rejoice,’ with other variations meaning ‘keeper of the keys,’ ‘brave with spear’ and ‘the sea.’
Kai featured 70th in the 2008 Bounty name poll – but could be set to climb the ranks if parents are inspired to follow the celebrity lead.
Ava, the name of Myleene Class’s daughter leapt 15 places to number 19 in 2008, while Ruby, the name of Charlotte Church’s daughter is now in 2nd place in our top 100 girl’s names.
