Re: Mackenzie
in reply to a message by M
I love the nickname Mack for a boy. I don't mind Mackenzie on a boy but I don't like it either.
In my opinion it sounds more feminine. I just don't like the -ck- part in it on a girl, it looks harsh. I also don't like the nickname Mack on a girl.
For a girl I like it spelled McKenzie. Makenzie is alright. I have a very nice friend named McKenzie. I prefer it used without a nickname but Kenzie is ok.
I think it's perfectly fine on a girl. In my opinion it was never masculine to begin with. It has always been unisex because it has always been a surname that was worn by both, men and women. So I disagree with people who say it's a masculine name. Yes, it was used on men first as a given name but it has always been a name that women had as a surname too. I don't mind the meaning. Andrea means "man" and it is definitely a girls name as well.
