HelpRe: Mackenna / Mackenzie
in reply to a message by laurasaurus
What about Makena? Same sound, completley different origin and meaning. I actually like Makena (this spelling ONLY) and think it will age alot better than the trendy surname alternatives. Because no, I cannot imagine na 80 yr old named Mackenze. Sure by the time she gets to that age half her peers will have cutesy misspelled trendee names, I don't think it will seem odd. But I still loathe it. And the sound of it. And the look of it. And the meaning of it.
Plus, what kid wants to look up her name and find out it means "Son of the handsome one?" It's like a double dose of boy. Sure, not everyone cares about meaning and it's fine if you don't. But your daughter might.
The McK spellings are my least favourite of all of them. Most surname looking.
Makena Emily would be nice. Makena Genevieve? Makena Emmeline? Makena Emilia? Makena Emme?
It sounds fine with Gavin.
