Yeah, that's seems obvious. I thought her name was just Kendall. That's a unique name, come to think of it.

I don't know what you're thinking of but in German, Speer means spear.

My name has a billion variations but it comes from Hebrew as well. I don't know why my mum picked it out, my sister wanted it to be Christiana. My real name hides in that one, though

I presume that Spear means the throwable spear...
Do I presume too much?

It means exactly the same as spear in English. It can describe a throwable spear (javelin) as well as an infantry spear.

A good site by the way: Behind the Name - the Etymology and History of First Names

My name is Riku, which is a Finnish form of Richard (means "brave power", derived from the Germanic elements ric "power, rule" and hard "brave, hardy")

or Greek Gregory (watchful, alert) as a book of Finnish first name etymologies suggested it might be either Richard or Gregory. Riku is still quite different so I don't think it matters that much. I quite like my name, if you can say so
