Help[Opinions] Mackenna / Mackenzie
So I had a dream last night that I had a baby named Mackenna. Mackenzie and Mackenna have always been guilty pleasures for me. I love the way they sound and I love all the nick names you can get from these names. Mack, Mackie, Kenna, Kenny, Kenzie etc. I remember I was a camp consouler and there was a 3 year old named Mackenzie and her parents called her Mackie and I loved the nickname. The whole "son of" thing never really bothered me. My only real concern is that it might not age well. Could picture a 30 year old named Mackenna? Could you imagine any working woman named Mackenzie getting taken seriously, say as a doctor or a teacher or whatever job she ends up getting? Could you imagine an 80 year old named Mackenzie? It's funny cause the first time I heard the name Mackenzie I was in the nurses office in highschool and this girl was calling to be taken home and she said over the school phone "Mom, it's Mackenzie. I'm sick." and I just remember the name Mackenzie sounding so stupid to me when it was said outloud in real life. Though I also remember I heard a friend in middle school tell me her brother's name was Gavin and my first thought was "That name sounds really weird when it's said outloud and I don't like it" and now it's one of my favorite names. So maybe it's fitting.
But what do you think? Do you like one over the other? What about the spellings of Makenna and Makenzie...I sort of feel like Makenna looks more like it's own name rather than a last name spelled that way, though everyone will probably spell it wrong. Do they have to be MacKenna and MacKenzie in your opinion or can they be Mackenna and Mackenzie? Do you absolutely hate them as names or are they alright despite their trendyness? I've always liked the names in theorey.
What about combos? I sort of like Mackenzie Amelia, Mackenzie Emilia, Mackenna Emily, Mackenna Jennifer (my mom and sister are Emily and Jennifer so I'd like some form of these names for middle names if you can think of any that fit). Also would Gavin and Mackenzie or Gavin and Mackenna work as a sibset or does it sound way too trendy? Any opinios would be appreciated!
