Kendra

Kendra is a nice name I don't think any girl with this name will get picked on at all and the name Kendra is not too short but not too long either best of all it's not common and people won't mispronounce or misspell it.

Much prettier than Kendall.

It's so pretty. This is a feminine version of Kenneth.

This is a cool name!

Absolutely beautiful name. I don't know what these hate comments are talking about.

All the women I've known with this name were adult entertainers or Playboy bunnies.

Love it! Sounds like an innocent, cute girl who always gets straight A's!

Very dated!

I'm a 52-year-old Kendra (born in 68), but I cheated and picked the name out myself when I was in my 20's.
I went through a similar process as those naming babies. I got a few books of names (it was before we had the internet...) and whittled down the list until this was "it."

No regrets at all. I was given a name that ended in the long E sound as was nearly everyone I ever knew growing up.
If their name didn't start out that way, it was nicknamed as such.

I'm finding more and more Kendras as I go along, but it still stands out well enough and many people compliment the name.

Somewhat pretty!

To me this name seems unique and well, really just magical. There's just something about it. This name works with many last names too it also is great to have when you're young and still isn't too childish for an adult. It's my favorite name. Kendrick sounds awful and Kendall is horrible especially Kyndall and Kyndal. Kendra is a better choice and I'm considering it for my girl.

When I first heard the name Kendra many years ago, I thought it was very pretty. Then when the time came to name my daughter, I had gone over several names with Cara, Courtney and Karen being the three I narrowed the list down to. From nowhere it seems, the name Kendra came to mind and that is exactly what I named my daughter twenty-six years ago. She really likes her name and people she knows as well as perfect strangers compliment the name. I am happy that she likes the name, which is far more important than what people think, and I have encouraged her to live up to its meaning.

It's a very pretty name. I prefer it to Kendall, or Kyndyll, or Kendyl... it's very nice.

I feel slightly offended due to all the negative comments on my name, but due to my impression with other Kendras, I have found that most named Kendra are strong and restricted, and will not take any crap from anyone.

It's an okay name, but not really pretty enough for me to like it. Something about it just sounds hard to my ears. I prefer it over something ugly like Kennedy, though.

Growing up with the name Kendra, I have a lot of opinions on it. Generally, they add up to, it's not a bad name, but it definitely isn't good either. If you're thinking of naming a child this, keep thinking, because you could do better.

It's nicely rare, I have never met another person named Kendra. (Well, there was one kid named Kindra who pronounced it Kendra) People have no trouble pronouncing it or spelling it, though people occasionally call me Kendall.

There are also pretty much no good nicknames for Kendra. Ken and Kenny sound far too masculine. On the other hand, it's just not elegant. I prefer names with a lot of vowels, but instead I have too many consonants. It's just kind of rough and boring.

These comments are hilarious. I'm trying to visualize myself as a ghetto white-trash dead body. On another note, thinking of my name reminds me of Kendra (Playboy) Kendra. So there's that... ghetto and trashy. Really though, I like my name, and often receive compliments on it.

I used to like this name, but then in college I met a girl named Kendra. She's one of those hypocritical Christians who is just really, terribly, horrifically annoying. Ever since then I can't really like the name.

There was a murder victim on a crime show I was watching named Kendra, and for some reason, ever since then, all I can think of every time I hear Kendra is 'dead body'.

This name sounds either really ghetto or white trash.

One of my best friends is named Kendra and I always saw the name as really feminine especially after taking Latin. Did you know that the -a ending is used for feminine Latin noun in the first declension? And truthfully I don't see how in any way shape or form that the name could be masculine, but hey that is just how I think.

This name is very ugly and masculine-sounding, but at least it beats the "names" Kennedy and Kendall. It's still ugly, though.

I love the name Kendra! It's so unusual. I'm pretty sure that's what I'll name my girl if I have one!

It sounds like a klendra. It means "winter" in Czech.

It's not masculine-sounding, but ugly it is. I just don't like the -dra ending, and come to think of it, the Ken-beginning is also crap.

Kendra sounds very manly to me.

I think that Kendra is a beautiful name and one that can grow with a child. It is just as easy to imagine a little girl named Kendra as it is a grown woman, which I think is a very important thing to think about when naming your kid.

I always think of this as a strong name because of the slayer on Buffy!

I had never considered the name Kendra until I met a little girl with this name. She is as cute as a button. It is a cute name and one a child could grow up with.

I like this name a lot! And it is not overused!
