[Opinions] Wdyto Kairos?
Opinions in general? M or f? Combos? Fn or mn?

Ky-ross sounds very grand (maybe too much). I'd probably end up slurring it into ky-russ. Which isn't bad, sounds a bit like Cyrus. Like the similarity to Cairo, but without being literal. Definitely a boy's name. Fn would be ballsy, but I think it would make a good mn.
Kairos Document?
That's what I think of. It's not a bad association, cos, you know, Apartheid was bad, but if I met someone called Kairos it's what I'd think of first. And then I'd wonder a little bit if there's a link to the KD, or something, because I;m just like that... In other words, it might cause people to think a little too deeply about your reasons for using it. I dunno.
I really like the meaning. Apparently it means something entirely different in Modern Greek, though?
I'm not sure how great it'd work as a name, but while it looks more masculine, something about it makes me like it as a girls' name. Maybe it's because it seems so ungirly? Eh.

Isn't this something to do with time? I've seen it in an article recently.
It's too close to Cairo for me. I'd see it on a boy, but wouldn't use it.

Yes... has to do with an appointed time.
How do you pronounce it? /KY rus/, /KY roce/? I like the sound of it pronounced the latter way. Cool meaning, too. Maybe Caerus, the name form would sound more like a name, but I still think Kairos is nifty, but then I have always liked the nn Kai.
ky(like name Kai)-ross...
I like it (m). I also like Cairo, but Kairos seems a bit cooler- it sounds older and isn't soo "look at me, I'm a place name!" I could see it on a person IRL, as a middle name, or on a character. I'm really liking it as a mn...
Probably because it's a Greek concept rather than an Egyptian place... It's the type of name churches and similar orgs. use for groups (like a young adults group or something) or maybe a conference or something... I wouldn't use it as a person's name though. Never heard of Kairos on a person.
it doesn't really seem like a person's name at all...
It seems more like a last name, if a name at all. Or like somebody with no knowledge of Greek language or customs trying to come up with a Greek-sounding name for a character.

The concept and meaning are good, but I wouldn't use it as a person's name.
