[Opinions] Re: Kendra
Kendra Helen flows nicely. Kendra seems trendy to me, so it goes a bit against your naming style, which is more classic, so I'm not sure it's really perfect with Liora and Ivy (esp. Liora) but on the other hand, the 3 names are euphonic together, so it's not has if it stuck out like a sore thumb either. I agree with what others have said that the name is a bit of a odd choice for Dumbledore's mother, as it sounds too modern and commonplace. Considering her children's names, and that her husband was named Percival, I would have expected either a classical name, eg Clytemnestra, or a Medieval one, eg Heloise.It also goes against the trend of all HP names, which are either Greek/Roman (Andromeda, Hestia,Alecto, etc), Medieval (Wilburga, etc) or classic English (Harry, Ron, James, etc). Maybe Rowling was tired of having to dream up of all these wizard names!
