In a slightly dystopian novel I’m drafting, I’ve got the name [name]Kendall[/name] picked out for one of the protagonists, a button-pushing, good-looking, slightly clumsy, born-to-lead kind of character. The catch? He’s a guy. I know [name]Kendall[/name] is heading towards (if it isn’t already in) “Camp Girls Names”, but I really think it suits him. What do you guys think, would it bug you if you read it? If you think I should change it, any suggestions?
Nah, it’s work fine for me. Idk if nickname are used in your book but if so using [name]Ken[/name] here and there would help solidify that [name]Kendall[/name]'s male in your story.
Whenever I hear the name [name]Kendall[/name], I think of [name]Kendall[/name] Jenner (one of the Kardashian’s sisters), however I do like the name. Maybe consider changing the spelling to [name]Kendel[/name]/[name]Kendell[/name], which I find slightly more masculine.
Good luck 
I think it’s fine too! I’ve never met a girl named [name]Kendall[/name], so it wouldn’t bother me (though the [name]Kendell[/name] seems more masculine.) I was recently reading a synopsis for a novel with a girl named [name]Garrett[/name], so [name]Kendell[/name] on a boy is absolutely okay!

It doesent bug me at all.
I think it’ll be just fine- I do prefer the [name]Kendell[/name]/ [name]Kendel[/name] spelling for a guy though.
