Is McKenna okay for a first name (girl) if not, middle name? Thanks

Oh god I came on here to say please don't call your little boy McKenna. But a girl?! Please don't. So many beautiful names out there.

Michaela?
Kendall?
Kerry?

Going to go against the grain and say that I like it! There are a lot of far worse names, but this one is actually nice. I say go for it!

Kellyturnbull · 07/09/2017 21:21

I like it 😊 Think it's a lovely name for a girl 💗

BakedBeeeen · 07/09/2017 21:26

Oh my god, don't do this to your poor child!

Like PPs have said, it's a surname meaning son of Kenna. It isn't a girl's name.

How about
Keziah
Kendall
Kerensa
Magali
Karina
Coralie

Regan is a girl's name.

If MacKenna and Mackenzie are OK as girl's names, how about MacIntosh?

SuperBeagle · 07/09/2017 23:52

I know a Mackenzie, so McKenna doesn't seem too far off.

But the spelling does make it seem more surname-like. I'm not sure if Mackenna is a correct spelling, but that might be something to consider?

I'm not a fan, personally. All of these names remind me of McKinsey, the consulting firm. But that's a niche reference. Grin

Awful.

ViserionTheDragon · 08/09/2017 00:07

No.

crazycatgal · 08/09/2017 00:11

It's awful

Ew

I grew up watching Tucker (American show, aired on Nickelodeon in the UK, stars Katey Sagal) and McKenna is the name of one of the female main characters, so I wouldn't think it was weird ... I think most people disagree though!

Possibly for a boy but I wouldn't choose it myself

SomeOtherFuckers · 08/09/2017 01:03

Megan McKenna s surname ... your choice

FizzyGreenWater · 08/09/2017 18:49

Not nice at all. What would it get shortened to - Muck? Kenny?

Just don't!!!!

CaliforniaHorcrux · 08/09/2017 20:56

Reminds me of Taylor And McKenna a toy store where I used to get My Little Pony from in the 80s

Not sure the OP is coming back

It sounds very masculine to me as well as being a surname.
