I like Kerensa. With more thought, I might end up loving it (never heard it before).

There's just one thing I think you're perhaps not thinking about. You say "I know it's a bit bold, but I'm an artist, so most people won't care." I'm sure that's true. People might expect an artist to choose a somewhat unusual name. But at age 20, or 30, or 40 ... you get my drift ... people who meet Kerensa will not be thinking "well, her mother's an artist, so...." In other words, Kerensa will have her own life, and the fact that you're an artist will become more and more irrelevant to other people, the older Kerensa gets.

I love it...

Have you though about Demelza, too?

Really like it.

I love it, it's pretty high on my list of favs.

I'm sorry, but to be completely honest I really dislike the name Kerensa. There is a flu remedy called Corenza C - it reminds me of that.

Post under ONE name ONLY please, Alicia / Bashfulgrl19

It is strictly against the rules to post under more than one name. This means that you must put the same name in the 'Name' box every time you post.

Please choose ONE name and let me know what it is going to be ASAP.

You must read the rules (see the Help/Rules/FAQ link at the top of the board) before making any more posts on this site.

Bold? Uh... why? For an odd name it's pretty good, I'd say. Just make sure there's an ordinary name tucked away somewhere as a backup. I don't see any particular reason to shorten it, either, unless you're trying to preempt Keri or Karen.

If you're not from the southwesterrn US you might not know that one of the pueblos is named Keresan. This doesn't really matter but might affect your thinking.

I've never heard it before. It's cool - has a nice sound to it.
