Was googling to try and find the meaning of Sennen and got a link to a really old thread on this site about cornish names. It got me interested in seeing if any of you used the names Kerensa, Loveday or Sennen? Am just about to have my 2nd, don't know if its a boy or a girl and we haven't really got very far with names! I do love Sennen (for a girl) and was wondering if anyone had used it or knew of any Sennens and what you think of it? In our family there is a Kerenza and a Loveday. We love our names and especially when out of Cornwall get lots of positive comments and questions from people who've never heard of the name but think it's lovely...

I think Sennen is lovely. We were going to call DD2 Nessa (it means second in Cornish), can't remember why we didn't as I think thats really pretty too.

we've lots of Lovedy(s) in our family - note there is no "e" in it in some parts

a fair few of my friends have middle name of Tean - can you guess where I'm from, lol?

how about Rosenwyn (pretty little rose)?

I know two dogs called Demelza

and a horse called Karenza

I know of a boy called Sennen - can it be a girls or boys name then ?

Not keen on Loveday but thats partly because it makes me think of Lovejoy, that ageing antiques Lothario
