First name for Kenna?

Any FN ideas for Kenna? Toying with the idea of using Kenna as an honor name but none of the names on my list seemed to do it for me
Tend to like older, vintage names and none seem to click with Kenna. (Althea, Grace, Lydia, Olive, Clara, etc).
Also saw someone spell it Kennagh, which i thought was interesting. Kenna does seem a little trendy/modern for my taste and i thought that spelling made it seem a bit not so much. Thoughts?
Also thought of using Kendall (lean much more to distinctively feminine names, also a tad modern sounding for my taste). So any other ken- suggestions welcome

[name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Kenna[/name_f] is quite lovely.

[name_f]Kenna[/name_f] is nice. It may not be a vintage classic, but it’s got a pleasant sound and a soft femininity.

Personally I’d go with [name_f]Kendra[/name_f] over [name_f]Kenna[/name_f] for a [name_m]Ken[/name_m]- name. I find it stunning, more classic then a lot of [name_m]Ken[/name_m]- names & has some lovely NN options, eg. [name_f]Kenna[/name_f], [name_f]Kenzie[/name_f], Kens, [name_f]Kiki[/name_f], [name_f]Kay[/name_f], [name_f]Dee[/name_f], Dra, Rara, [name_m]Enzi[/name_m], [name_f]Ena[/name_f], [name_f]Era[/name_f] etc. :blush:

I think one option you could do is having 2 middle names rather than 1

Rather than doing _____ [name_f]Kenna[/name_f] I would try out

[name_f]Althea[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Kenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Kenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Kenna[/name_f]

It could be that since most of your names end in that A sound like [name_f]Kenna[/name_f] that it sounds like a lot

Breaking up the syllables so it’s not 2-2 or 3-2 might also help for flow

I also really like Kennagh because it’s more rare in comparison to [name_f]Kenna[/name_f] and even [name_f]Kendall[/name_f]. It reminds me of the [name_f]Oonagh[/name_f] spelling of [name_f]Oona[/name_f]

Can’t say I love the Kennagh spelling. From what I can tell, [name_f]Kenna[/name_f] is the more common / accepted Scottish feminine form of [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m]. I actually like [name_f]Kendall[/name_f] as an option as well, and it might work better with some of your ‘a’-ending vintage favorites. A few other options include [name_f]Kendra[/name_f], [name_f]Kennedy[/name_f], Kennera, Kenina, and [name_f]Kenley[/name_f]. [name_f]Kerensa[/name_f] is also a stretchier option that may work and is more distinctly feminine.

As a first name for [name_f]Kenna[/name_f]:

[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Kenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Kenna[/name_f]

I think the [name_f]Kenna[/name_f] spelling is best. Maybe Kenara or [name_f]Kendra[/name_f] are also possibilities?

Hopefully these help :slight_smile:

I really like [name_f]Kenna[/name_f] paired with a more vintage fn. I think it’s a good balance.

I also like the idea of shortening to [name_m]Kent[/name_m] which feels like an awesome unexpected middle and may help flow with some of your names!

[name_f]Kenna[/name_f] is nice! I like the ideas of [name_f]Kenley[/name_f] and maybe even [name_f]Kennedy[/name_f] too (even though that’s not my usual taste).

I actually think [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Kenna[/name_f] or [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Kenna[/name_f] is rather nice? A few other ideas:
