Thoughts on this for a girl? It's a Cornish name meaning love.
Does it matter that we aren't Cornish, we just like going on holiday there?!

It's a beautiful name with a beautiful meaning. No, it doesn't matter that you aren't Cornish if you love the name. Go for it!

Pretty name.

VanessaShanessaJenkins · 05/03/2018 14:22

Only ever known one and it was spelt Karenza. Didn't know it was Cornish or what it means. No idea which is the traditional spelling either.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 05/03/2018 14:22

Fabulous! Haven’t heard that name for years!

FogCutter · 05/03/2018 14:23

Lovely name, doesn't matter that you're not Cornish.

LineysInTheSnow · 05/03/2018 14:25

I remember Carenza from Time Team. She was fab.

TatianaLarina · 05/03/2018 14:46

Lovely.

SharkSave · 05/03/2018 14:49

Lovely

Elfyn · 05/03/2018 15:02

Beautiful! This is my favourite spelling too.

ChocolateCrunch · 05/03/2018 16:03

Lovely name.

MrsMoastyToasty · 05/03/2018 16:05

I like it spelt as Carenza. It was on my list if I had a girl, but I had a boy.

SharkSave · 05/03/2018 16:20

MrsMoastyToasty I prefer the spelling I've used, just seems softer to me

My cousin has a Karenza, she's Kara for short x

DramaAlpaca · 05/03/2018 16:25

What a beautiful name.

Situp · 05/03/2018 16:25

Karenze is German for maternity leave.
Just putting it out there in case you plan to move to mainland Europe...

NameChangeDestroyer · 05/03/2018 16:26

I love it. I might add it to my future child list, although I prefer Carenza spelling

SharkSave · 05/03/2018 19:28

Ha! Situp no plans so far but thanks!

Pretty name that I rarely hear. Is Kerensa the usual spelling? Just wondered.

LovelyBranches · 05/03/2018 20:55

I’ve never heard that name before but read it and immediately thought that it was beautiful.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 05/03/2018 20:57

Really pretty, particularly spelt that way.

haverhill · 05/03/2018 20:59

I like it. Time team Carenza was lovely.

SharkSave · 05/03/2018 21:03

I think Kerensa is the usual spelling but happy to be corrected!

DP's sister is Kerenza. Would 100% use it if I could. Great name
