Sorry not keen on Kenton.

It's an area of Newcastle that absolutely nobody wants to be named after

Yes this.

It's also a village in Devon, quite near Exeter. My great-great grandfather is buried there.

Not a big fan personally don’t think it really flows as a name. Think Keaton flows better. But if you like it go for it!

The Archers!

Nobody will call him Kenton. Ever. He'll be Kenny. Always.

Is a village on the main road into Exeter.

You e gone too upmarket It needs to be Kenton, Byker and Walker.

JuneySunshine · 12/03/2025 12:08

Reminds me of Renton and Trainspotting

And I think he'd get Ken/ Kenneth type teasing

MummytoE · 12/03/2025 12:09

I don't say this lightly, but it might be one of the worst names I've ever heard

DalzielOrNoDalzielAndDontPascoe · 12/03/2025 12:12

It sounds like the Aldi own-brand 'tribute' version of Kenco coffee.

Not very often I have such a strong ‘noooooooo’ reaction. It’s the name of a very undesirable area in the north east. If you live anywhere near Newcastle then avoid at ALL costs!

Was looking for this comment...... first thing I thought of!

timoteigirl · 12/03/2025 20:37

Kenton is one of the town names, isn't it? Like Keaton etc. Seems quite unimaginative.

CrimsonVioletTeal · 12/03/2025 23:01

The only Kenton I've ever heard of is Kenton Archer. Didn't Phil and Jill name Kenton and Shula by throwing Scrabble letters in the air and seeing how they fell?
