I met a guy at work the other day by this name. He goes by "Kinny", which I think is awful, so I asked if it was short for anything, thinking that maybe I would like his full name better...he said "kinersley". Not my favorite, but I do like it better than Kinny. WDYT?

Probably an alternate spelling of Kinnersley, an English place name and surname originally meaning "woodland clearly of a man called Cyneheard."

But it does seem to be a bit awkward to me, as surname transfers go.
