I have been meeting more and more women with this name lately. It's actually a little odd how they keep cropping up. I thought it was a word-name at first, but later learned that it is Polish. I have really warmed up to this name and now think it is quite hip. I would not use it myself, I don't think, but appreciate it a lot.

What do you think about this name? Properly Pronounced "KEEN-ga", but often becomes "KING-ga" - especially among non-Poles I think :)

Makes me think of a character from The Lion King or something. Maybe just because of the "king" part. :)

Anyway, in high school we had an exchange student named Kinga. I don't think it's ugly, it's actually kinda cute.

I like it too. It's a very striking name, the kind you hear and don't forget. I like that you called it hip. Yes, it could be hip. KING-uh is my favorite prn.

It's interesting, but not something I would ever even think about using.
