I am 31 and my name is Kenna. It has been pronounced Kenya, Keena. When I answer a phone or introduce myself, some people think I am saying Kendra, Kenneth, or some other name. I like my name. It'seems to be getting more popular. I am meeting more Kenna's. Some people also ask if my name is short for McKenna. Which it is not.

My 19 month old daughter's name is Kenna. I fell in love with the name years ago when I was looking for a name for my son, and so knew right away when I was pregnant with her that her name would be Kenna. It'suits her, and we have not met any othe's in our city. (yet lol) I love it!

I'm also Kenna. (keh-nah). You know... how it looks. i've always been called Keena, Kendra, Kenya, McKenna.. Even when i've pronounced it to people. I was named after a little girl in the local supermarket. Then in 7th grade I sat in the exact same spot as her. I'm about three years younger than her, though i've never met her. Also named after my father Kenneth
