Well I'm an Ke-Ah-Nah Keanna and I have no problems so far and I'm 20+. If you don't like it, okay, but you don't have to be rude and ugly. My name is KeAnna ShaQuil and I'm proud of it.
I love my name. The only "problems I've ever had with my name are people either not knowing how to spell it or struggling to pronounce it. I've had zero issues being hired (in person or by phone) and I've never met a person who didn't like my name. I have had people tell me I said it wrong because my family pronounces it Key-na. It's a variation of my mother's name, and I wouldn't change it for anything.
Well, when I see these comments about my name I hate them! And guess what? My name is completely original! And I'm glad my mother named me this because I don't care what other people think and neither do my employers, so back the hell up cause I'm only gonna say it once- it's a GREAT name and I'm proud of it! Oh ya, and my name is pronounced Key-Anna!
Despite the reputations of "ghetto" names like Shaniqua and Taniqua--basically any name ending in "-iqua"--Keanna and Kiana aren't even bad! They actually sound pretty, and don't look odd when written. I don't get the negative reaction to this name.

No, this name is an insult to your little daughter! It looks and sounds low-class and her future employers will likely think that also; believe it or not, children are not toddlers forever. Who will take a woman named "Keanna" seriously? On top of that, this name means nothing! Stop throwing sounds together and take the time to learn an actual name!
"Who will take a woman named "Keanna" seriously?" Well excuse me, but I would. I find that comment rude, classist and hurtful. If you would refuse a person a job just because they're called Keanna, then that's your fault, not the fault of anyone who actually has this name, or their parents.

This one sounds like something young and naive lower middle class parents would pick for their daughter because ''it sounds so cute on a little girl''. I don't find the name cute at all, and it's very difficult to imagine this on a woman. It's quite unimaginative and lazily put together, as well.
