THE PRONUNCIATION IS INCORRECT. The hiragana けんぞ has ZERO “w.” It is pronounced “Ken,” like the Barbie doll’s male counterpart. I’ve been learning Japanese for well over three years. There is no “kewn” sound. There is zero “w” sound anywhere in the name. け is ke, ん is n, ぞ is zo.

I don't mind this as a Japanese name used on Japanese people, I actually quite like the pronunciation and it seems like a name that ages well. However, it's so lame when Europeans or Americans use it. Imagine naming your kid after a brand. It's like naming your kid Gucci or Versace. You come across as materialistic and it's honestly kinda trashy.

Brand names like Gucci or Versace are all family names. They are unusable all the way. Kenzo is a standard given name and popular in different regions for a long time. It is a part of culture and history now.
The only difference is that it is an Asian thing from the East. This may be the reason why it makes you upset.
