McKynleigh is how my cousin has decided to spell her babies name.. I'm I the only one who sees this as odd?

no

UnrequitedSkink · 06/08/2013 23:47

Dreadful.

notanyanymore · 06/08/2013 23:48

How is it meant to be spelt?

mrscumberbatch · 06/08/2013 23:48

shudders

mynameisslimshady · 06/08/2013 23:48

It looks like a surname to me.

ShatnersBassoon · 06/08/2013 23:48

It is unusual. Is it a boy or girl?

ravenAK · 06/08/2013 23:48

Is she any good with apostrophes, though?

SupermansBigRedPants · 06/08/2013 23:49

Oh my god - is it after mckinley high in glee??

KateBeckett · 06/08/2013 23:49

As is the school from Glee??

escape · 06/08/2013 23:50

As in ' McKinley High' from Glee I should expect - it's a school not a child's name.

LondonNinja · 06/08/2013 23:51

Oh dear.

Branleuse · 06/08/2013 23:51

you do realise if she searches for the name, this thread will come up straight away?

HopLittleFroggyHopHopHop · 06/08/2013 23:52

unusual, but saying that I have a cousin called McKenna, and she loves her name so I guess it's not too different.(Her sisters have completely normal names!)

CoolStoryBro · 06/08/2013 23:53

Err, what does it matter what we all think of your cousin's baby's name? Presumably they're happy with it? I hate all this judgey bollocks on here about names. Each to their own.

capitola · 06/08/2013 23:54

Just dreadful.

Onyabike · 06/08/2013 23:56

How many babies does she have? Hope she doesn't use Mumsnet!

ExitPursuedByABear · 06/08/2013 23:57

Lovely.

EvilTwins · 06/08/2013 23:58

McKinley High is named after US president William McKinley who was shot dead at the 1901 Pan American Exposition in Buffalo. Wonder if your cousin knows that.

Monkeyandanimal · 07/08/2013 07:33

Isn't there a Mount McKinley? Either way, i don't like it!

VegPatchLurker · 07/08/2013 07:34

Awful

DeeLighted · 07/08/2013 07:40

It's yoo-neek innit?

PeteCampbellsRecedingHairline · 07/08/2013 07:44

It sounds like an American detective programme. Grin

Probably best you ask HQ to remove this thread. It's very identifying.

JumpingJackSprat · 07/08/2013 07:53

Whats it got to do with you op?

Onyabike · 07/08/2013 07:57

I agree with poster above - your poor cousin. I really hope she doesn't see this thread. Get it deleted ASAP.

Peachyjustpeachy · 07/08/2013 08:02

Did you really start a thread to mock your cousin?
