Although Kendall's given names were Thomas Henry, he was usually referred to as Henry to distinguish him from his grandfather. However, Kendall signed the Marriage Register on 7 March 1868 as 'Henry Clarence Kendall' and this use has been perpetuated in the titles of many selections of his work. (See Ian F. McLaren's 1987 work Henry Kendall : A Comprehensive Bibliography p. 206,
'Note on Henry Clarence Kendall').
W. H. Wilde and Michael Ackland both list 'The Meddler' as a pseudonym used by Kendall in the Sydney Mail. Cheryl Taylor, in her bibliography of Ernest Favenc's work in Tales of the Austral Tropics (1997) attributes several poems and prose pieces published under this name to Favenc, on the basis of their location among the cuttings in the Mitchell Library Q980.1F.
