Rya seems made-up and incomplete, like it should be a nn for something. Just another spin on Mya, Maya, Mia, Maia, Lia, Leah, Leia, Nia, Nya, Naya, Nyla, Nila, etc.

Still, I greatly prefer it to "Kennayde," which should literally be pronounced Ken-ayd (sounds like a sports drink) but I'm sure is being used here as a misspelling of Kennedy. If you like the name Kennedy for your daughter, use it. But I'd strongly advise against "Kennayde." After all, you didn't name your son Kahnnear.

Rya is ok, have you considered Ria or Rhea? These are both real names. Rya looks misspelt or made-up. Kennayde is horrible; I'd assume the parent either couldn't spell or was aiming for Ken-AID as a pronunciation. Kennedy is nms but fine, you might also like Kenna or Kendra. Whatever name you choose, I recommend that you spell it properly, this will save your daughter having to spell her name constantly. If you need any suggestions, the ladies on this board are wonderful. Good luck!

Kennedy is okay, but this spelling honestly just looks ridiculous and confusing. SO, Rya easily gets my vote, even though I don't love it. I do, on the other hand, ADORE Rhea "REE-yuh" and think it goes much better with Connor, whereas Rya and 'Kennayde' seem trendy in comparison.

I'm not sure how Kennayde is pronounced, but even so, I'm pretty sure that I prefer Rya.
