[Opinions] Re: Kenna
in reply to a message by Martha
It doesn't work for me because "Kenner" in German means "connoisseur, expert" and in most dialects it sounds like Kenna.
Anyway, even apart from that it has a formerly-trendy, bland, boring late 90s/early 00s feel to it that I dislike.
I remember when I was really young and first spending time on the internet and Brenna seemed to be the most hyped name on every single message board. I was kind of surprised to see that it never really took off. It was seen as the perfect and fresh alternative to Brenda and Brianna. I find it ugly in sound, to be honest. Same as Kenna.
Yes, it does feel sort of fake-Irish and romance novel-ish. Ken and Kenneth are not nice to me either.
Kenna fits in perfectly with Brianna, Kendra, Mackenzie, Mckenna, Kenzie etc. so I get a strong 90s/00s vibe. Yes, a bit of an odd choice these days but when you think about it names like Mackenzie and Madison are still in the top 100 even though they're way past their prime so I am not too surprised.
