Opinions on the name Ken (on a male)?
I'm liking it more and more every day.

also, do you prefer it as a full name, or a nickname for something?

I adore the name Kenneth, but I don't like Ken as a nickname. I do, however, like Kenny.

Ditto. Plus, the name conjures up unkind images of the Ken doll in briefs.

or lack thereof....

I think Ken can a cute nickname...for either Kenneth or Kendall...I wouldn't use it but it's kinda cute

Ken is really cut as a nickname for Kenneth, I think.

Kenneth and Ken are very very nice names. I prefer Kenneth in full.

I like the name Ken but i def think it is a nickname...either to Kenneth or Kendall.

I'm not a big fan of Ken because it's the name of half the guys in my boyfriend's family are Ken. My boyfriend's name is Kevin Kenneth!

I am going to end up using Kenneth as a middle name.

It could be short for Kenneth, Kendall, Kensington, Kendrick.

I like Kenneth, with the nicknames either Ken or Kenny.
But if you like Ken but not Kenneth, I think it'd ok to name him JUST Ken.

Nickname for Kenneth. PLEASE.

That said, I don't really like the name at all. It seems so...80s to me. And makes me think of the Ken doll.

I was friends with a Kenneth, whom we called Ken, and let me tell you, if he wasn't one of the most sought-after guys in my town...

I love it, personally. Maybe I'm biased because I was in love with the guy, LOL.

I dislike it. Well actually I dislike my crappy excuse for a maternal grandfather, who is called Ken, so kind of hard to get past that.

In the abstract it's a fine name though.

I dated a Ken for 6 months. All I remember from that relationship is the fact that I was called Barbie for 6 months. And that I was blond at the time didn't really help matters much.
So I'm kinda biassed.
