Makai

this name is adorable in that it is quite unisex and is fun to say because it bounces out of your mouth

Pronounced /mah KYE/, this name is probably a form of the name Mekhi. Actor Mekhi Phifer made this name popular in the 1990s and beyond, in a variety of spellings. His name seems to be created by his mother; he's explained that it "derives from the Muslim holy city of Mecca, and relates to water, and how water sustains life and is one of the strongest elements."

Pronounced /ma KAY/, this may be a modern form of Michaela, influenced by the surname McKay (though McKay is often pronounced /mc KYE/).
