Kendrick is probably my favorite "Ken" name, but is now so heavily associated with Kendrick Lamar that I think if you used it, people would assume you're naming your son after him.

I like it, especially paired with heavy, old-fashioned sounding names (Absalom Kendrick is one of my current favorite combos).

---

Ken is familiar; drick is kind of dashing.

---

Kendr is probably reminiscent of 'kindred' to me.

---

It's not a name that will inevitably be shortened.

---

If I've met any, I don't remember.

It’s okay. It’s one of those names that is just “there” for me; it doesn’t leave an impression.

---

Don’t know any Kendricks personally but I do think of the rapper Kendrick Lamar.

I worked with a Kendrick! He went by Kendrick, nobody called him anything else. He was a huge trekkie, probably could speak Klingon.

I like that name a lot. It's so appealingly masculine. I don't like the Ken part by itself. I like the whole name - the ENDR as one thing in the middle, is crucial for me. It's like the word thunder - the "ndr" is the sound of it, sandwiched by the hard Ks.

I also like the name Rick, but I wouldn't shorten Kendrick to get it.
