Midlo Scoop‘s “What’s in a Name?” segment highlights Midlo students who possess unique, standout names. This week’s spotlight focuses on senior Kaija Taylor, a member of Midlothian High School’s mixed show choir Just For Show. She dives into the background regarding her name and how it makes her stand out:

What’s the background story behind your name?

My name is Japanese.  Kai means restoration, and my mother added the ja at the end. My name means precious girl in Sweden.

I love my name; it makes me unique.

If you were given the option to keep your name or choose a new one, what would it be and why?

If I were to choose a different name, it would be Kai because I love the root of my name and what it stands for.

I’m excited about all the opportunities that will come my way.
