I originally learned of the name “Kai” in a German class, but learned the name also was a Hawaiian name for “sea”. We were required to use a German nickname in the class, and since that was similar to my real first name (Kyle), I picked it and pretty much stuck with it.
My scrawny ass is certainly no type of warrior though.
“Liang” is a representation of “beam” or “bridge” which made some sense back then since I was at least somewhat popular in high school and always had a fascination with psychology and human biology/interaction and seeing connections between things and events. It’s also the last name of one of the main characters of the biggest video games series in history (Dynasty Warriors) that I happened to really like and still do today. The name fit, but the first letter was changed because it felt more personal and sounded better that way.
Years later, the two were put together and here it is today.
All this said, there has been some serious consideration of a new name in the past few weeks but it’s not certain where it is going to start and what will come up it…yet.
