Kenny for short. Family name. What are your thoughts? Smile

Would likely be shortened to Ken as he got older which of course would lead people to believe he was Kenneth. Definitely not as cool as Kendrick...

I sort of like it -think it might grow on me.

MrsTerryPratchett · 04/09/2018 01:17

Cute. However, it does rather depend on the last name. If it's very long and/or fancy, it might be a little much.

Kendrick Smith would be lovely. Kendrick Arsington-Smythe, less so.

Kenny Everett. Yuck.

Some names like Kenny sound cute for a baby/kid but are hideous when grown up. I can't picture a CEO or manager called Kenny, I won't even take them serious.

Kenny also reminds me of South park

It's like naming a kid Britney in 2000

Except Kendrick Lamar is a respectable artist.

And for that reason, I like it, OP!

RedDwarves · 03/09/2018 22:36

Lamar.

Or Johnson. The boy who died after getting stuck in a gym mat. Popularly discussed case among true crime enthusiasts.

ReginaPhalange89 · 03/09/2018 22:14

Don't like it, sorry ! Sounds like a surname to me.

RavenWings · 03/09/2018 21:33

Definitely screams rapper name atm. It's like naming a kid Britney in 2000.

Quangot · 03/09/2018 20:59

I don't like it at all, sorry.

DesmondSwayne · 03/09/2018 20:06

First thought = Lamar

Second thought = Anna Kendrick from Pitch Perfect

Enidblyton1 · 03/09/2018 18:02

I like it - and particularly like the family name connection

SuperstarDJ · 03/09/2018 18:00

Kenny is cute as a nn. Not overly keen on Kendrick but it’s much better than Kenneth.

Yikesisthatmeinthemirror · 03/09/2018 17:13

Just use Kenny. I like that

MrsChollySawcutt · 03/09/2018 17:10

No. There's Kendrick's Kingdom soft play near me. Kendrick the mascot is a goofy looking rodent of some kind.

5krunning · 03/09/2018 17:08

Lamar

PotteringAlong · 03/09/2018 17:01

No.

percheron67 · 03/09/2018 17:01

Sounds like a partner in a building firm.

Sophronia · 03/09/2018 17:01

It’s ok. Kenny is quite cute as a nn.

ladycarlotta · 03/09/2018 16:57

just because a rapper has it doesn't mean it's a 'rapper name'. Anyway, he just won a Pulitzer.

Flamingosnbears · 03/09/2018 16:52

It's a rapper name...

applesauce1 · 03/09/2018 16:34

Lamar (drank)
