Makenna For A Girl
11

I am expecting my second daughter at the end of January. My boyfriend and I have agreed on the name Makenna, pronounced Ma-Ken-A, pretty much just how it looks. My first daughter is named Paige, which is becoming more and more common. We want a unique name for this one and I think Makenna is just that. But when I tell my all my family and freinds, they just say that it's pretty. I want to honestly know if it's a stupid name or if it really is a cute name for a little girl! Please help!

Thanks, Billie

I like it! But I prefer the McKenna spelling. I actually considered using this myself, but DH vetoed it. (He never really gives a reason.)

I agree that's its a little trendy right now. But it is a cute name for a girl. Actually, this is one of those names that (I feel) works well for a small child or an adult.

I give it the resume test. If I received a resume with this name at the top, would I cringe or roll my eyes? Would I take this person seriously?

I think McKenna sounds like a classy, well-put together name. If you like it, just use it. It gets my vote!
