Even though its really popular, I can't take off any points for that - especially since it's not one of my most favorites. I can't necessarily be disappointed if I never wanted to name a kid that in the first place. I still like the name a bit. I tend to rate names kindly.
The Mack part says "I'm a man" and the Kenzie part says "I'm trying to be cute", and cuteness is more associated with girls (regardless of a male's cuteness).
So I think its unisex. And Kenzie is a nickname for both genders that comes from Mackenzie. If you split that down the middle, you get the same thing. Ken sounds manly, and Zie sounds girly.
I might prefer it on girls, but I would like to see more guys with it. Maybe they can make me change my mind. If others do, the name can remain unisex throughout history (many years from now), no matter how many others disagree: "Its for boys!" Vs. "All woman!" still continues, but...
Most people in 2050: "It's unisex, love it or hate it. Its kinda too late to deny it, after 1,000 girls have been named Mackenzie and 975 boys have been so far - this is only in March!" (The charts aren't confirmed until summer time, usually. I'm strictly to referring to U.S. data, as the popularity for women is primarily in the U.S., and its favored more for boys in the U.K.)
Mackenzie is a 6/10.
