so I was in the park this afternoon when I heard a mum call her little girl "Kenya" at first I thought why on earth would you call your child Kenya, then I turned around to see a little blonde curly head girl in a hippy dress and it really really suited her.
Don't think I'd be brave enough to use it but the more I think about it he more I like it.
What do you think?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

No. She may get 'Ken' for short which probaby wouldn't suit her so much!

It's quite nice actually. Makes a change from other place names such as India and Adelaide.

Can you imagine some little child in Kenya running around called England? Or Basingstoke, Slough, Milton Keynes, Cleethorpes...

My Indian friend (from India) almost wet herself when she came across a child called India ("Whaaaat? Really? India as a name for a child?").

I have long loved this name but I could only use it if I had links to the country or my partner did (even if it was just by having African ancestors).

Plenty of naice English white people use India as a name, so why not Kenya?

I've been to Kenya and I loved it there. Maybe they'd been too.

I quite like it actually. And it sounds nice when you say it..it really rolls off the tongue.But, there'd have to be some sort of story for me that links to the place - she was conceived there or something..

Maybe its a name from somwehere else, and not as in the country?

I don't want to mention the 'c' word.
