Kay for a boy?
What do you think? I really like this name for the Arthurian association and its connection to Welsh Mythology but I probably wouldn't actually use it because it's seen as more feminine nowadays. Do you think a boy named Kay would get teased rotten?

I like it more on a boy than a girl....
I personally like longer names better than short ones so I would name him Kaden or Kadan or Kayden or Kaydan or Kaiden or Kaidan or Kaeden or Kaedan. Then his nick name could be Kay. Also I like these other spellings of Kay just as much: Kaye, Kai, or Kae.
Also I like Cay or Caye or Cai or Cae. Then his name could be Caden or Cadan or Cayden or Caydan or Caiden or Caidan or Caeden or Caedan.

I like it as a nickname
I don't know if a boy named Kay would be teased, since it doesn't seem like a very popular name for girls anymore. The only Kay I've ever met was a woman in her sixties. I don't care for it as a full name, though; it just looks incomplete. I like it as a nickname, or as a middle name.

Spelled Kai and pronounced the same it is quite popular in German speaking and Scandinavian countries.
Hmm . . .
I like it, as a middle name. As a first name, the boy would probably get teased. :-/
It might work better as a nickname for a first name, or just as a middle name.

I like it, but I would spell it "Cay" not Kay. I really do like it though!
I know a man named Kim and boy named Mackenzie and a boynamed Dana, so what's wrong with Kay? nothing. I say go for it, but if you are hesitant use it as a mn or as ann for longer name. I think it sound sambiguous, and I only know one girl with Kay as her mn (spelled Kae though). So, in my mind the name is open for use one either gender.

NO!!

If you're the type who doesn't mind unisex/feminine names for boys, I think it's a great name.

It's always sounded very boyish to me, and I think of the letter K before anything else - so why not?

No way!
I don't think he'd be teased. The name sounds masculine to me--I know a guy named Kay. I think it's a cool name.

I love it as a middle name.
I don't see why it'd be a problem in the middle. I'd use Kaye, though, after Danny Kaye.
However, as a first name, I suspect he'd have problems.

Kay will always be a boy's name for me - I grew up on the Arthurian legends. Kai is a less used variant which also looks nice and Welsh (no idea if it actually is though).
If you're worried, maybe: give him a middle name he could use instead till he grows up / give him Kay as a middle name and see if he wants to use it / give him a first name that can be abbreviated to Kay.
I like it. I'm all for it staying a boy's name.

Sure, why not? It's a little bit too plain for me, but it's still OK. I don't think it's too girly, even though it's predominantly feminine nowadays, so I don't see why getting teased would be inevitable for a boy called Kay.
No! (I didn't even like it in Arthur)
