My son is Kendryek. I picked the name way before Anna Kendrick and Kendrick Lamar became popular. I picked the name as I was looking for a Gaelic name and I saw Kendryek meaning fearless leader. I fell in love with the name.

Hello Mommies,
I have 2 boys. My first child name is Kendrick Jr after his Dad.I must admit since we were having a baby boy I agreed to name him after his Dad but i like the name. While searching on the web the name could mean noble leader or ruler and that works out for my son. lol I personally had not met a person name Kendrick before him so it all worked out. My 2nd child I picked Kane. It’s the name of my favorite wrestler lol no but i always liiked the name. It came to me naturally. Some people I told had mixed emotions becasue of the story of cain and abel. At one point i was saying to myself maybe i should change his name. I believe in Jesus Christ and he is my savior. That was terrible what happened to CAIN but my boys will love each other and I changed how it was spelled. The name is unique and different more of an Irish decent meaning little warrior or battler. I have not met a Kane either so i could not find a care what anyone else had to say. I will enjoy the names of my babies and you should as well!
