McKenna or Makenna for a baby girl's name?

Question

My husband and I have decided on McKenna or Makenna for our 2nd daughter's name. Macy Rose is the name of our first child. What spelling is better?

Answer 1

i love love looove Makenna as a name. The name Makenna Brynn has been one of my favorites for 2 years now.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

makenna-- like others said, the first is more last name than first name

Answer 3

I like either, but my favorite way would be Makenna.  It just looks a little more feminine I guess, the spelling looks less harsh than McKenna.  Do you have a middle name picked out yet?

Answer 4

Makenna

Answer 5

I would say Makenna because the spelling is unique

CONGRADULATIONS AND BEST OF LUCK!! If you Have ANY questions feel free to email me at [e-mail] Thanks!!

Answer 6

Macy Rose is such a lovely feminine name, why would you want to name your next daughter such a masculine, butch sounding name? Mc makes it look like a last name, so I like Makenna better, but really why not consider something that goes better with Macy? Were you hoping for a boy this time maybe???

Answer 7

Don't mind me asking but does the name have any significance to the both of you? Macy Rose sounds so sweet. But McKenna/Makenna sounds a little 'harsh' to the ears. Entirely my opinion though. Never meant to hurt anyone.

Answer 8

Sorry but I don't like it.

Answer 9

Definitly Makenna

Answer 10

they both seem ok, but Makenna is a bit better.

Answer 11

Makenna.  McKenna looks like a last name not a first.  Congratulations!

Answer 12

Makenna =)

Answer 13

I prefer McKenna.

Answer 14

McKenna is pretty, but be aware that MaKenna and McKenna will be pronounced differently.

Answer 15

I don't care for either.  Sorry.

Answer 16

Makenna .

McKenna makes it look like a last name .

Answer 17

Makenna, the other one sounds too much like McDonalds.

Answer 18

I think Makenna is better, because McKenna's a last name, and I think that's silly.

Answer 19

I like Makenna a lot better....having more than one capitol letter in a name just makes everything confusing! Also, Makenna is simpler, cuter and prettier! Hope this helps! =)

Answer 20

Makenna. The other one looks like a last name.

Good Luck with Macy and Makenna!*

Answer 21

I like Makenna; McKenna sounds like a last name, but Makenna is also a character in a book by Stephenie Meyer, called Breaking Dawn - so I'm a little prejudiced because I like the series.

Answer 23

I like the name Makenna.  

Answer 24
