Kerensa?

What do you think? Alternative spelling is Kerenza, which I think I might prefer. Cornish name, meaning 'love'. Not Cornish, just think it's beautiful.

I prefer the Kerensa spelling.

I think it’s absolutely beautiful. I also love Elowen.

Nice. Prefer the Z spelling.

karensa isn’t a name to me, just makes me think of furniture, if you Google you will see why.

I've seen it also spelt Carenza.

Sounds like an artificial sweetener.

Not Kerensa.

I like Kerenza or Carenza.

What about Demelza which is similar sounding and is a beautiful name?

Mandarinaduck · 01/09/2024 20:32

Absolutely beautiful, either with the s or the z.

My dd middle name is Karenza (DH half Cornish so all our kids needed a Cornish name somewhere). I love it, and there's not many nice Cornish names to choose from!

I love this name so much it's 100% my "one that didn't get used" was on pur shortlist for ds but alas he is a boy (and I love his name)

I prefer the z spelling and also do not associate it with Karen as you hear the Ren Sah sound more.
