Can you do anything with the name Kenneth?

[Sweetsdo]

I'd love to use it as the name means a lot to me but I'm struggling to picture a baby called Kenneth

Is there any similar names or maybe making shorter? Although I'm not keen on Kenny either!!!

Kenneth McAlpin was a King of the Picts. He was known as “Kenneth the Conqueror”.

That’s pretty damn cool.

Go for it!

We chose family names that mean a lot to us, and they're both the only ones in the school. And they're not unusual names, by any means.

Kenneth is so much more interesting and refreshing sounding than Alfie, Jack or another top 10 name. Great choice especially if it has a meaning to you!

He won’t be a baby for long though :)

I remember thinking the same about Baby George before it rocketed inpopularity but now it doesn’t sound strange at all.

Also, all the old Kenneths were once babies!

It's an excellent name.

I'm Irish and an Irish speaker, so what I'd do with the (perfectly fine) name Kenneth is to turn it into the gorgeous Cionnaith. Pronounced KYUN-ah.

Neath is quite nice.

I'd use it as a middle name personally.

I know a Kenneth James (named after his Grandfather) who is 6 and never known as Kenneth - always Kent or KJ. I actually sometimes forget he is even a Kenneth because he is never called it.

I love the name Kenneth! And all the suggested shortening. It's actually really cool and unusual.

Kenny is cool. I'd go with that- it's cute!
