Kyson or Zendrick for a boy

[Surinah]

My husband and I can't decide between these two names! We are both 50/50. Which name do you prefer?

But you asked - and you are getting honest answers, which you are unlikely to get from people around you as they will be nice (whilst thinking what we've said). - because to us they sound silly (on a UK based site where they rhyme with the best selling vacuum in the UK and a popular gin brand) seriously it is that simple.

Yoonique names tend to get this kind of reaction both here (openly) and IRL (privately- or not). Surely better to not ask if you don't want to hear the answer & just call your child whatever you want?

Plus most people joking about it will have assumed you were a troll, apologies if you aren't, but regardless the reaction still stands surely?

I think you should choose a name which is actually a name op. Your child will thank you for it in the future.

I like the suggestion people have made of Kendrick. Makes me think of Kendrick Lamar, who seems pretty cool (am not a huge fan of rap).

Kyson sounds like the latest addition to the Kardashian clan.

Zendrick is godawful as well, but at least it doesn't fit in with the Kendall/Kylie/Kim brigade.

I also don’t mind Kendrick, like Kendrick Lamar.

Out of the two you mentioned, I’d pick Kyson.

I actually was the first to say Kendrick (confusing it with Hendricks gin).

OP doesn’t like me but I think I’ve helped out.

Actually I wasn’t I just noticed someone said Kendrick earlier
Nevertheless Kendrick.

OP whatever the culture the names are really not great.

I like Zayn? You got a Z and an N?! Oh and a Y

Ignore the ignorant snobbish comments.

Both names are really unique, as I said... Zendrick is my favourite.

I like Kyson. But really like Zen as a nickname.

Just ignore all the saddos OP.

Both sound completely made up and classless. I'm sorry... I have a very unusual name and I hated every single second of it and it's not made up, it means "singing" in Hebrew

Something can’t be REALLY unique
Something is unique or it’s not. Language matters as do names which people are stuck with (unless they change them which is a faff)

I quite like Zendrick!

A good friend of mine has a DS named Zen (Zen being his shortened name). It actually suits him beautifully.

Depends on whether you want to be strange. Strange is OK. I once met a family with six children with star wars names.

Then there's the posh who have so much confidence in themselves that even Sequin will do.

If you can pull it off go for it.

Bible (any other culturally religious books) and Shakespeare are probably not so stupid though.

Kyzen?

Fuck it. If you want an unusual name, double barrel both of them and make everyone laugh.

If you’re not from the UK but live here and you’re getting feedback from the people that are, they’re probably just being truthful and not rude.

The names you’ve chosen do sound made up.

Kyson

Both very silly sounding names

I'm interested in the unique names that mean something to you. So not an actual relative's name. Like me picking Wilbert or Alliam for my grandads?

Both awful with try hard 'yoonique' spellings. Don't ask if you don't want to know..

The problem is, OP, that they both sound like established names but with the first letter changed. Are they common names in your country?

Out of Tyson and Kendrick, I prefer Kendrick. Out of Kyson and Zendrick, I dislike both equally.

Dyson

Oh! How about...MySon

Yea if the names not oscar or felix it's going to get voted down on mn

I'm also not Caucasian.... So I don't prefer traditional Caucasian names.

WTF is a Caucasian name?

I've heard names related to faith eg it would be unusual for Christian parents to call their child Mohammed. I have heard names linked to or common in a particular language and I have come across names linked to places such as Jowan in Cornwall.

I know some names are more common in some cultures but it is cultural not decided by skin colour. Or at least not in the UK.
