My husband informed me late last night that he likes the name Kendra much better than Amelia and would rather name the baby that.

What do you think of Kendra?

I don't like it, but it's still better than Amelia.

I think it's a really cute name! I'm just not sure what you could shorten it to, if you were into that. :D

I think it's ok. Not my style, but pretty. And much nicer than Amelia, in my opinion!

I've always liked this name, and I prefer it over Amelia.

All I can think of is that playmate from "Girls Next Door" and I don't even watch the show. I like Amelia WAY better.

I don't like either.

I think it's kind of trashy, honestly. Amelia is so much better!

It has bad connotations for me, and I like Amelia much better!

Reminds me too much of Hugh Hefner's bimbo girlfriend. I'm sure that's not an association that will last for much longer though. I think her 15 minutes are up.

I do prefer Amelia by far though. Just a prettier name imho.

To be honest, I think Kendra is a bit trashy and I can't see it on an adult. Amelia is a very beautiful and classy name that the child can grow into.

I don't like either of them.

I dislike both of them a fair bit, but Amelia is much better.

I associate it with the playmate....because of that, I agree with those who think it's trashy. Amelia is nice.

Yeah, like some other people said, I think of Kendra Wilkinson. So to me, it sounds sort of trashy. But that might just be because she's the only Kendra I can recall ever knowing of. It's not a terrible name, if you can get around that association. But I do like Amelia better, it's more classic, less trendy sounding.

I really like the name, and would probably use it myself if it weren't for the fact that my dad's name is Ken and I think it would just be kind of weird. :P

i don't like it at all, i've always thought it was sort of trashy (like crystal or destiny) even before i knew about kendra wilkinson.

on the other hand, amelia is one of my favorite names in the world so i'm a little biased.

Never liked the name and now it will forever be the name of Kendra Wikinson... I rather go for Chandra personally though if you like the name then go for it, besides I don't think she's going to be ZOMGFAMOUS for that long...

I don't know if they're up just yet. She does have her own show called "Kendra".

I like Amelia because you can use Mia or Amy as a nickname. There aren't that many nicknames for Kendra. My name is Kendal and I have never had a nickname but I prefer my name over Kendra.

I don't like it, but that might just be that I don't tend to like K-names. The only Kendra I've ever heard of is the one in Harry Potter, and she's too minor a character for the link to be noticed, I'd have thought.

I don't mind it (I think most people find it trashy because of the GND girl, but she's fading from the public eye already, and I don't think it'll be an issue in a few years), and I sorta love the nn Kiki, but I like Amelia better.

I don't like either.

I'm not a big fan of the name Amelia, but I like it /a lot/ better than Kendra, which is a name I've always found to be fairly...horrible. Sorry.

Amelia > Kendra.

IMO, Amelia is beautiful and timeless and has a lot of cute and/or classic nicknames. Kendra sounds kind of dated. And what nicknames can you use? Kenny? It just sounds harsh.

Kendra sounds 80s too me, and I always think of the girl from Girls Next Door. I like Amelia much better and it has more nickname potential.

FAILURE on his part! i love amelia!

but, then again, it might be because i knew this girl in hs named kendra and she was awful and trashy and mean. hehe.

i really don't like kendra to begin with, and i really really like amelia, so kendra definitely got the short end of the stick on this one XD (haha, tell him you already have an icon for her as amelia--too late! ;) )

Don't really like Kendra... reminds me of the slayer who dies on season two of Buffy, and of Dumbledore's mother. Amelia is much more my style.

Kendra sounds so 80's to me. Amelia is much prettier with better nickname possibilities!
