Much to my surprise not very many people have asked where Kensington's name came from. I don't know if people just don't care or don't want to ask or what. I wanted all of my kids to have interesting but not wierd names. I mean I'm not naming my kid Moxie Crimefighter or Pilot Inspektor but I don't want to name them Jessica or Jennifer or something like that. So Kensington is named after a street. I use to drive by Kensington Dr every day on my commute and I just thought it was a cool name. It doesn't actually mean anything but it is a palace in England and the royal borrough of London. I like royalty so I thought that was cool.
Along with interesting first names I wanted my kids to have family names and to have 2 middle names. Todd and I went back and forth on the 2 middle names thing but I finally won. Kensington's middle names are Jewell Christine which is my Grandmother's name and Christine is my middle name. My Grandmother is one of the most interesting and neat people that I know and I would love it if Kensington grew up to be something like her.
All of this explaination is because I finally got a sign made for Kensington's room that has her name on it. Its something I've wanted to do since she was born and it only took four months. yeah!

cute sign! I really like the name Kensington.
I wondered where you got the name but never thought to ask. Some people get pretty upset when you ask them why they named their kid that name!! But you did a good job it is such a cute name and I love the sign!!! I need to make something like that for my girls!! But not that creative!
just wanted to say that I think the name Kensington is really cute and it just doesn't seem that weird. Maybe just because it reminds me of Makensy or something like that.
