- In Spanish-speaking cultures, names like Kendrick are often associated with 'extranjerismos', or the trend of adopting English names to sound modern or international.
- Because Spanish phonology rarely allows words to end in two consonants, a person named Kendrick might find people adding a phantom vowel sound, pronouncing it like Kendrick-e.
