A friend has a son named Kendall. IMO it's a surname and a place-name; two strikes and it should be out. Kenneth would have been preferable.

I don't know it as a place name

I like Kenneth as well but I do think it's a rather different sound and demographic

As a place name, it's Kendal; as a place name used as a fn for his son, my friend gave it an extra L. Sorry - should have mentioned that. Kendal is a very beautiful small town in the Lake District in England.
