Is Kenneth due a revival ?! Nickname Kenny / Ken ?

I love it! XH vetoed it though as we have the same surname as a well-known footballer.

Kenneth was always my joke name that I suggested to DH to wind him up. And Derek.

LooseSeal · 07/10/2016 20:28

This is Kenneth to me

JosephineMaynard · 07/10/2016 20:37

Still a bit dated I think. Maybe in another 10 years or so?

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 07/10/2016 20:40

Maybe never !

No, I know a little Kenneth - the name is not a grower.

ToffeeForEveryone · 07/10/2016 21:24

Nope.

Ankleswingers · 07/10/2016 21:26

Hideous. Don't like it at all

My dad is a Kenneth nn Ken, never ever Kenny. He's the nicest of nice men, nothing like any of the Kens mentioned on here. It's still s huge no from me, awful name.

Still infinitely better than McKenzie though.

I don't mind Kenneth, but hate Ken and I'm sure that's what he'd get for short.

Ham69 · 07/10/2016 22:29

Nooooooooooo!

Sophronia · 07/10/2016 23:50

I like it! Kenny would be cute on a little boy.

SansasEscape · 08/10/2016 20:09

Just Ken is alright. Kendall Jenner seems cool.

WyldFyre · 08/10/2016 20:15

My dad is a Kenneth but hates the full version (which unfortunately for him his own father insists on calling him) and prefers Ken or Kenny.
I do quite like it but would personally use it as a middle name.
