In my opinion, Kenji is one of the most typical Japanese names out there. So for me, I'd steer clear and choose a different Japanese name or keep Ken, but add a different kanji or 2 different kanji characters.
Going back to what I've said in the previous comment, the most typical names that you and I have encountered in the media (like Kenji) are not necessarily the most popular in terms of how popular it is given to babies in the country of origin.I would say that Kenji is on par with Ryū (or maybe surpassing Ryū, looking at how many fictional characters named Kenji are listed on Wikipedia and TV Tropes as opposed to Ryū) as one of those Japanese names that the media (like books, comics, TV programs etc.) like to use and that really irks me.

Kenji is a fun and crazy name. I like it better than Benji. My nickname is Kenzie, and a friend's brother always calls me Kenji just to make fun of me.
I love how this name sounds. I loved it so much I named my kitten that. He really lives up to it (the name means "strong second son"). He's the second son and he is very ornery he likes to climb out of his pen and jump on his mother. He's the most friendly of the five kittens. So, if you decide to name someone Kenji the traits should add up.
