皚 can this be pronounced as kai?

If you have not made a typo with your name 林,it's apparent your parents weren't brought up speaking Mandarin. 林 in pinyin is Lin, not Ling which sounds Shanghainese or something. According to pinyin your name should be Lin Er Kai, but as you know Chinese people speak different dialects and have different pronunciations for the same word.
