Kerensa

---

Simply because it was the form I was first introduced to, so it looks 'right' to me. Also, I think it looks softer and more lyrical. I like spunky Z's, but Kerensa is a name that I don't think needs them.

Karenza looks weird, therefore it's out.

I'm between Kerensa and Kerenza... and go with Kerensa, because it's the original. Kerenza is fine with me, too. Kerensa has a softer touch to it though.

Kerensa I guess. The rest just look weird.

Kerensa. I don't like the look of the "nz" in the other two versions.

Kerensa. It looks the 'tidiest' so to speak.

In order of preference:

---

1. Kerensa - it's the original form as far as I can tell.
2. Kerenza - the "z" makes it a little trendy looking
3. Karenza - this just looks like a weird extended version of Karen!

Kerensa looks softer and lighter. Besides, Kerenza reminds me of credenza. ;-)

Karenza

Gotta have that z :)

---

Reminds me of Demelza.

Kerensa

---

I think it looks more polished.

Kerensa

---

It looks the best. The others look like trendified versions of the name.

---

I also pronounce it "keh-REN-sah' (with an s), not 'keh-REN-zuh' or 'kah-REN-zuh'.

Kerenza, even though Kerensa is probably most accurate. Zs seem to be a distinguishing trait of Cornish names, and its the most common way I've seen it (alongside Demelza).

My personal favorite would be Kerensa.

I think the S makes it come across a bit softer and more pleasant. Z is a very harsh letter for me.

Kerensa, by far. I love this name, and I tend to forget all about it.

I think I prefer the Kerensa spelling, since it's the original. Plus Keren has a more whimsical look than Karen, which seems so much more normal and less magical I guess.

Kerensa. I think it looks the most elegant.

Kerensa, because that's how it's actually spelled in Cornish.
