Help[Opinions] Re: Gabriella....
in reply to a message by Amber Christine
Go with Gabriella. It's far less trendy and much more substantial than Makenzie, and moreover won't date your child to the late 1990s-mid-2000s; Gabriella won't be 2086's nursing home equivalent of Bertha or Gertrude, like Makenzie undoubtedly will. Also, Gabriella's actually spelled correctly, unlike Makenzie.
Misspelling Mackenzie as Makenzie with the idea that taking the C out takes out the "Mac- means 'son of'" doesn't work. It just makes the name look even more super-trendy in addition to it looking horribly misspelled to me. Mackenzie means "son of Kenneth", period.
EDIT: Rewrote first part to include datability of Makenzie.
