[Opinions] Re: Madison
Your reactions remind me of mine when I first heard of a girl named Mackenzie. Must have been in the late 90s, I was in elementary school. I had never heard it as a given name before and remember thinking 'how ugly, isn't that a surname?' :P I got used to it, though. I even really like McKenzie now and I think Makenzie is ok. I just can't get used to the Mackenzie spelling. The 'ck' in there just looks so ugly to me.Addison became popular because of Private Practice, or so I heard. Never watched the show. I think it climbed so quickly because people saw it as a less common alternative to Madison. I think it's even in the top 10 or close.

I've got a little relative named Kenzie. It likely is a varient of MacKenzie; however, her father and great-grandfather were/are named Ken, so perhaps it's an honouring of Ken/Kenneth.

Kenzie is cute!

Yes, I agree. It also works well with her last name, begins with a "C" but has a "K" sound.
