Help with girl name
| Sat, 03-24-2007 - 6:46am |
Hello ladies,
I want to name my baby girl using my husbands initials. His name is Michael Dean. I've invented MIKENNA (pronounced McKenna) DEANNE. He says it sounds like "Roseanne Roseanna Danna" from the SNL skit! What do you think???

Although I am a huge fan of using family names, I think Mikenna Deanne is a bit much. I wouldn't make BOTH names after her dad as it is just too matchy. Deanne seems awfully masculine, I would scrap that altogether. I'm sure he's a great guy, but it seems a bit odd. Mikenna is misspelled completely and doesn't seem to be after Michael at all. I think you need to re-think this idea!!
The obvious choice if you want your daughter to be after Michael is Michaela:
MICHAELA
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English, German, Czech, Slovak
Feminine form of MICHAEL
It is pronounced the same as McKayla, but spelled properly. Are there any other family members that you would like to honour? I do love the idea of using family names, but I think both names after a single person is too similar. Michaela is a very popular name right now (like Makenna) so I would probably use it as a mn.
I hope you see my point and decide against 'Mikenna Deanne'! I think there are nicer options out there for you.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but you haven't invented Mikenna Deanne in the least. Mikenna is one of the various misspellings of the trendy name McKenna. Not unique at all. Also, it loosely translates to "son of Kenna/Kenneth," so it would seem a bit odd in your case, since you're trying to use it to honor your dh ... Michael. LOL
Deanne, also, is a real, feminine name. It's a feminine form of Dean (you're not the first to think this up ) and is pronounced dee-ANN.
If you want the name to be for your dh, Michaela Deanne is lovely! Michaela is a properly-spelled feminine form of Michael, and sounds very much like "Mikenna" without having the same problems.

I don't care for it.
How about one of these names beginning w/ Mi...
Mia
Michaela
Mila
Milan
Miranda
Mira
Misha
Michelle
I also prefer Diane or Diana over Deanne.
Mia Diane sounds very nice.
I agree with PP that Michaela is a nicer name.
