Hi, we have a Mackenzie and I'm due next month. Our last 3 names are: Dylan, George and Oliver. Thank you.

Hi, first off, i absolutely love the name Mackenzie
(Wish id have thought of it when i had my children!)

Unfortunately, i do tend to agree with other posters that you are
Going for a more older style name this time and they dont
Match up very well.

Of the three, i would chose dylan, but thats only because i am
Not keen on the other 2.

Did u have any other more modern names on your list to
Consider?

George

I know a Mackenzie with a sibling, Morgan. Unisex names seem to sound good together so probably Dylan out your list but Taylor and Morgan are other suggestions x

I only know female MacKenzie's, it is an odd American tradition giving their DD's male Scottish surnames. Anyway, I don't think any of your chosen names are a good fit with the name you already have. This doesn't really matter as your DC will grow up and live independently I would go a Dylan and it is a celtic name.

Arpafeelie · 05/09/2018 13:42

If I heard of siblings who both had ambiguous names, I wouldn't guess at which sex they were, but if I heard of a Mackenzie and George, I'd assume you like masculine names for boys and therefore Mackenzie must be a girl IYSWIM.

Arpafeelie · 05/09/2018 13:32

I know two Mackenzies, both girls, and both their brothers also have surname type names.

Of your three, I'd go for Dylan.

FogCutter · 04/09/2018 08:17

Dylan out of your list but I like Cameron much better.

Leonora94 · 04/09/2018 08:05

My names Mackenzie I’m a girl...well woman, but I get called Kenzie a lot. My brothers names are Conor and Kai :D

ReginaPhalange89 · 02/09/2018 12:31

Oops sorry just realised you already have the McKenzie 🙈 sorry OP

ReginaPhalange89 · 02/09/2018 12:30

I have a cousin (girl) McKenzie. She's an absolute a*sehole..... so I generally dislike the name (and associate it with a girl)

junebirthdaygirl · 01/09/2018 21:31

Know a McKenzie but its a girl. I like Angus or Cameron ..know they are not on your list but you could change!!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 01/09/2018 21:07

💙 Dylan.

shakeyourcaboose · 01/09/2018 19:35

I'm like the Cameron suggestion! Or Lauchlan?

TatianaLarina · 01/09/2018 19:32

Dylan goes best with Mackenzie of your list.

I’d only go for two Scottish names if you’re acfually Scottish.

moredoll · 01/09/2018 18:38

Cameron, Campbell or Fraser would go better

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 01/09/2018 17:23

I think a Scottish name would go better than the three you've suggested.

Fraser would be nice.

ReginaPhalange89 · 01/09/2018 17:09

I agree none of them really flow with Mackenzie. Not sure what would though .... Cameron, Fergus, Hamish, Angus ?

Of the three on your list my favourite is George. But it doesn't sound right sorry !

Goostacean · 01/09/2018 12:12

Dylan is the best match, but my favourite of your 3 is George.

Having said that, every child is an individual so I don’t think the names have to “match”. Choose one you love!

booniloo · 01/09/2018 11:57

I agree with Fluffygreens comments and suggestions. Sorry but I don't think any of those names work with Mackenzie as it's such a Scottish name.

WhereIsMyDressingGown · 01/09/2018 11:39

Dylan definitely 'goes best' with Mackenzie. And it's my favourite out of the three.

Icklepup · 01/09/2018 09:44

George

Joinourclub · 01/09/2018 08:55

Dylan

hoping2018 · 01/09/2018 08:13

Or if those three Dylan goes best with Mackenzie. The other two are too traditional to match (IMO)

PenelopeThePufferfish · 01/09/2018 07:56

George is my favourite, but Dylan goes better with Mackenzie.

Dislike Oliver... I know I’m weird as everyone else loves it! Reminds me of oily liver.

fluffygreenmonsterhoody · 01/09/2018 07:52

McKenzie is so Scottish and George/Oliver so English, they don’t seem to go.

Dylan less jarring but also really Welsh and just a different kind of name.

If you like surnames as forenames how about Cameron, Stuart, Douglas?
