[Opinions] Zeke and Kai
I absolutely LOVE both of these nicknames. Any full name suggestions they could be used for? Thanks!

Jewish? They're just Biblical names.

Have you ever met Jewish children with these names then?

Yep. More than one of each, even.
Either way, they're both Biblical names. Ezekiel isn't even Jewish. I'm sure there are Christian children named Malachi & Ezekiel. Upon hearing both names, I don't immediately think "Jewish". I don't think most people would.

Well, they are Hebrew, and upon hearing that many people automatically think Jewish. You are right, and I was aware that they were Biblical - it was just in my experience, I don't meet too many Christian children named them. I'm glad, though, because I really do love them.

Ezekiel is the obvious choice and only one I can really think of that I would even consider.
With Kai, you could create your own name:
Kaiden
Kaiman
Kainan
Kyan (Queen Eye guy)
etc.

I don't have anything additional or other than the obvious to suggest for Zeke.
Kai is a proper name in it's own right. I see no reason to contrive a "full form" for it, especially to call him Kai anyway. That makes no sense to me.

Everyone's had great suggestions for Zeke (my favorite being Ezekiel).
For Kai, my fav is Malakai (pr. mal-ah-KAI), biblical, but here are a few more:
Caiaphas (KAI-ah-fus)- Greek
Caius - greek
Cairo - Egyptian city name
Ikaia (ih-KAI-ka) -- Hawaiian
Kailash -- Indian
Makaio - Hawaiian for Matthew
Mordecai / Mordikai (mord-eh-KAI), biblical
Micaiah (mi-KAI-ah), biblical
