Yes, my name is Keyla. I'm only a teen but I have not yet met anyone with the'same name as me. Many people say it wrong when'they look at my name and it takes them a long time to learn it. Took one of my teache's a half a year to finaly say it right. I pronounce it as it is spelled the way you say Key, as in a house key and la, like in music. People often'think it is Kayla or Kaiyle. But I do enjoy my name because it is unigue and people love my name and say it is beautiful everytime they hear it. Even'though I get annoyed with how much they get it wrong. But I think Keyla is a good name to name a child, you dont find many Keyla's around, not like Chris's and Ashley's. And this is the one out of a few sIt's that actualy show the name Keyla as a name for a baby. From youre good friend, Keyla

My name is Kendra and I love my name. I never thought it was anything special when I was growing up. I used to wish I had a "pretty name" but now I like my name because it Isn't that common. (although It's much more common that I ever realized growing up) i've been called Ken for short and lately a lot of my friends have taken'to calling me Kenny.

My name is Kendra, and I never really liked it (even'though I had gotten many compliments over the years). Now it is becoming more popular, and I like it more. My sisters and close friends have always called me Kenge, which, funny enough, I like!

Kendra is my name and I love it. I again thought that it was a stupid name but in the last couple years I have learned to love it. I am not named after anyone in my family my parents just liked the name. I know 3 other people with my name. I have many nicknames like Kennie, kenna, ks, kendy, and leash(which has to do with my middle name(Alysha)).

My name is Kendra, I was named after one of my mother's cousins. I love how unique my name is and the meaning of it fits me to a "T". The only thing I didn't like about my name as a child was that people would try to shorten in to "Ken" or "Kenj" and You'really can't shorten girl name to a guy name when you are 12. i've adapted two nicknames I like very much, "Kay" and "K-Lou".

I like my name too. It's unusual, but not weird, and it has a good meaning -"knowledge" and "wisdom". People have complemented It'saying It's pretty, and they tend to call me "Kendra", rather than other'shorter form.

My Daughters name is Kendra and ironically like a previous blogger'she too was named after a girl I knew is grade school. My father's name is Kenneth who I am extrmely close with, thats how her name came about. I love it , it is different but not a tongue twister , strong yet feminin.

I think its a rare name and thats what I like. I am hispanic and the name doesn't sound hispanic to me. So instead of family members calling me Kendra they all call me Keka. Which is better than Ken or Kenny.

As a Linda, I didn't want an "in" name for my children. I loved the name Kendra because it comes from the olde English word "ken" which means to know. Kendra means woman of knowledge or seeker of knowledge. And it is a pretty name. My daughter though did not meet another Kendra until she was 8. She came home from camp thrilled to death to have met another Kendra.

I'm in my 40's and am named Kendra. I was named after my father, Kenneth. I never liked my name because it was so different. Lots of my friends call me Kennie or Kaye. I was the only one in my school the entire time I was growing up in the 70' and into the 80's.

I'm a Kendra ... there aren't many of us out there, but that's what makes it more special when you meet one. :) My siblings call me Kenji and some of my friends call me Kenny or Kenny-d-ra, though I prefer to be called my whole name. My mom chose this name because of its meaning of "wisdom" or "understanding" (a tough one to live up to), she liked how It'sounded, and she knew a girl in college whose name was Kendra. i've always liked my name and i've never experienced problems with spelling (an occasional "h" is added to the end by some people). The only difficulty i've had with my name is when people of other nationalities try to say it, they sometimes have a hard time with the 'dr' sound.

My name is Kendra and I never had any problems with it. Growing up I rarely heard the name, until I'moved and there was one other girl in my school who shared my name during high school. I hear it once in a while, like today when I was at the deli they called two Kendra's at once, I was a little confused. I think the name is unique, but not weird. It is a strong name and It's pretty. I don't think It'sounds flaky and people take me seriously because of it. Of course once in a while my close friends call me Ken, Kenji, Kenni, but I don't mind. Overall, I love my name!

My name is Kendra [Saskia(Russia Sauce-kee-a) Cockayne (like the drug)] i didnt fully appreciate my first name and how wonderful it is until I got older. My first language was German and i could never pronounce it well so i hated it. But now that i only speak english i realise how pretty it is. I love it, its a great unique name. I really like that no one else has my name because it makes it less confusing (like everyone is named Sarah) and adds value on to my name. Everyone always compliments on my name. My nickname is Kenny, but i really like my full name.

My names is Kendra and I love it. When introducing myself over the phone, people sometimes hear Heather, Kenya or Ginger. When I repeat it, they always say that's a lovely name. Have any of you experienced this❤️ Friends call me Kenken, or just Ken. My aunt named me, but not sure how she came up with the name. I have met 5 other Kendra's in my lifetime. I always search in Outlook at a new job to see how many other Kendra's work for the company.

I love my name I think its really cute and original. Some my friends call me ken, but I don't like that at all. And so I love my name'so much and I think my parents couldn't have chosen a better name :~} Kendra We gave Kendra a name for two reasons. First, it means "wise women" and she entered the world and would look into her eyes. We all had a feeling that this was not her first visit to the world. Also, we also really liked a band from San Francisco called the Dream Syndicate. One of the founding members was Kendra Smith.
