  1. My husbands name is Kenta and he’s half Japanese we wanted to celebrate that culture with a Japanese first name and I’m Mexican so he has a Spanish middle name, his whole name is kenji felix Taylor. Felix comes from my father it’s also his middle name. ?

  2. My SO and I love anime, and I had a list of names from some and other Japanese names that had meanings we loved. Kenji means healthy and strong. I’m only concerned about ppl calling him Benji or Ken. His full name is Kenji Levi.

  3. Daddy chose it because it means second wise son.
