Mekhi Carter? Mekhi Cain?

Well this is in response to Laurence's question, what does the name Mekhi mean?

Mekhi has a hawaiin meaning (actually spelt Makai but I like Mekhi better which is the African American spelling) "towards the ocean". Me and Kellon felt that this was the perfect meaning for a baby who was conceived on the ocean, his parents are separated by an ocean and his parents met while on the ocean. Yeah perfect name for our son.

Now the problem is, to pick a last name? I really want Mekhi to take on Kellon's last name, however there are a few concerns regarding travelling internationally and Mekhi having a different last name then me. But that is yet to be determined. Guess we'll just see what happens, one name down, one more to go.

Suggestion ... Why not do it like Thomas' name, Mekhi Carter Cain? You get Carter in there and travel isn't an issue.

Here I'll make it simple for you.. Mikhi Thomas... there seeing how I'm the best thing that ever happened to you HAHAHA, you should just use me as the last name lmao

Megan, Kellon and Mekhi said...

haha very funny brother of mine. Actually the full name will be

Mekhi Jenson Thomas Carter or Cain, but so far leaning towards Carter. Just count your lucky stars you are somewhere in that name ;)

Will "Carter" really be an issue for travelling?? As long as you have his birth certificate/passport on you at all times...I wouldn't think this would be an issue.

HOw come you don't just hyphanate the last so he gets both last names either way
