Just to make an apology I did not mean to post Elise and Paige with y's in them! I wanted to see what it would like with the y in Kenya and then a y in the mn spot. Didnt double check my work, sorry!!

Jenese is pronounced like the word niece. Any suggestions on how to spell it so the pronounciation would be a little clearer.

Kenya is not a name I associate with any particular race. I've never heard of one or met one.

Kenya Elise would be nice, but I don't like the look of Kenya Elyse.
I like Kenya Noelle a lot. Very nice.
How is Jenese pronounced?
Kenya Paige would be okay. But no extra Ys.

I love Kenya but I would never use it since I am not African American and I honestly find place names a bit on the tacky side. I love the combo Kenya Faith.

I don't know that "African-American" would be my first thought! It's firmly geographical and, as far as I know, doesn't get used as a personal name in Africa. Though there is a business called Kenian which is owned by two brothers - you've guessed it, Ken and Ian.

I don't know that Kenya is a country I'd willingly identify with at present: homophobic bombast really isn't my style. Rather Kenya than Uganda, I admit.

---

As for the mns you suggest: what's so good about the y in Elise and Paige, and the extra n in Anastacia? Danielle, Noelle, Annabelle and Giselle make me feel rather queasy. Jenese? Can't pronounce it; never seen it before. Perhaps you might wish to choose Nicole?

Interestingly the only Kenya I've known was Kenia (pronounced the same) and she was Latina.

I don't like Kenya because I'm not big on place names (Paris, China, etc). Some of your middles would make good first names: Noelle, Giselle, Elyse, Angeline and Anastasia (spelled this way) are favorites of mine.
