What do you think of the name Kendra?

I sort of like it. I never had an opinion though until watching "The Girls Next Door" and liking Hugh Hefner's girl friend Kendra. That may not be the best vote for the name.

i know a pitbull named kendra, and she is super sweet, i love her.

but i cant stand the name. its trashy to me, sorry.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

I've seen it mainly in pagan web communities, so it's sort of a new age screen-name to me.

I was and am baffled as to how Dumbledore's mother could be born in a 1980s American trailer park.

I don't like it, but I'm not sure why. I guess it's just not my style.

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

I like it.
But probably wouldn't use it.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

LOL! I've never seen that show before, but no...not the association I was hoping for;)

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

See, I've never really had that reaction to the name, so I'm kind of wondering where that comes from. I've always thought it was old and classy; I've only ever known one person named this, but I've seen it in literature and it struck me as a nice name.

It seems trashy to me too, but I'm not sure why. I did go to school with a girl named Kyndra (but pronounced KENdra..) that was pretty trashy, but I didn't like the name before I met her. =/

There was a slayer on Buffy named Kendra.
That's all I can think of.
Aside from that, it's an okay name.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I don't care for it.
It seems made up.

[samaside.livejournal.com]

I like it. My friend's stepsister is named Kendra.

[xanya.livejournal.com]

I don't really like it and it always reminds me of the slayer from Buffy with the extremely patchy accent.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

so it's from HP?? that would explain why the pagan are so fond of it

[kristinwitha-k.livejournal.com]

The name of Dumbledore's mother wasn't revealed until book seven, though. So if that's where the popularity comes from, it can't have been popular for more than about, oh, 4 months.

Kendra has always seemed really lovely to me. :-) I've never thought of it as being associated with pagans in any way. Nor have I thought of HP as being associated with them either.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

HP is, like, the least pagan thing in the world, hahaha.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

yeah I agree, but so many pagans are closely tied with the whole fan-fiction world

[lneef.livejournal.com]

I don't know about FROM, but it showed up in the last book.

[only-hope.livejournal.com]

lol I personally hate that name, just because my fiance's ex's name is Kendra. lol

:)

[pixietangerine.livejournal.com]

i don't like it. seems trashy to me, and it gets lost in the mess of trendy k names like kaylee and kaden.
and i can't get over the "ken" part. seems so masculine, and plastic barbie doll-ish.
what about sandra?

[missmaxattax.livejournal.com]

I don't like it either.. sorry.
I went to school with a girl named Kendra.. and she was nice.. I just don't know why I don't like the name.

[vixenofflames.livejournal.com]

I. HATE. Kendra. She's the dumbest person ever. She also looks like a Stacy doll or whatever Barbie's sister's (cousin?) name was.

So yeah. The name makes me think of her. I do not want an airhead child.

[juniorfan29.livejournal.com]

It's...okay, I guess. However, every time I hear/see it, I think of "Ken-DRA, the vampi're slay'r"

[politicking.livejournal.com]

i like it, & i've only ever met/known one Kendra in my life. she was this really petite, cute little thing. she was twin set, Andrew & Kendra.

[kristinwitha-k.livejournal.com]

I agree, I never got trashy trailer park from Kendra. Even with all these other people saying it, I just don't get that vibe. *shrugs* FWIW, I really like the name. It's youthful yet classic.

[scintillated.livejournal.com]

I like it.

[cherrysorbet.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I kinda like it. Though I don't really think I'd use it because of the "Ken" at the beginning, it seems quite masculine.

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

Haha, my first reaction, too. She was Jamaican (I think) and had a stake called Mr. Pointy. She was rather adorable, though, so I have no negative reactions to the name as a result. It's not my favorite, though.
