No
It means "Son of tha handsome one"

simpson · 18/04/2009 23:49

great name for a boy but not for a girl IMO

Ronaldinhio · 18/04/2009 23:49

horrible !
sorry, you did ask

SK1980 · 19/04/2009 00:42

Sorry, going on honest first impressions - chav immediately springs to mind. I think it's horrible.

LauriefairycakeeatsCupid · 19/04/2009 00:47

the little girl in 'Friends' was called this so it's definitely popular in America.

I like it

expatinscotland · 19/04/2009 00:47

It's my MIL's maiden name. SURNAME.

Um, no.

jellybeans · 19/04/2009 05:47

Don't like.

DuffyFluckling · 19/04/2009 05:58

Wasn't one of the Slayers called Mackenzie?

violethill · 19/04/2009 09:54

Surname

Thunderduck · 19/04/2009 11:28

Noooooooooo. It's an awful name.

This is one of my most hated names. I really do feel strongly about this one. And yes it's rather chav I'm afraid.

ellingwoman · 19/04/2009 11:30

Only ever heard it before when there was a BB contestant (male) called Kenzie. Nuff said

ellingwoman · 19/04/2009 11:31

Oh, hang on, Mackenzie Crook (Cook?), from The Office and Pirates of the Caribbean. Male again

pointydog · 19/04/2009 11:46

I know rowling's done it but it's awful.

It's a surname

pointydog · 19/04/2009 11:46

rowling's daugghter is mckenzie I think

aGalChangedHerName · 19/04/2009 11:58

I know 2 McKenzies,one a boy and the other a girl.

BunnyLebowski · 19/04/2009 12:08

Awful, americanised, tacky and chavvy.

ShowOfHands · 19/04/2009 12:15

It's beyond horrid.

SoupDragon · 19/04/2009 12:25

Horrid.

Leannabanana · 19/04/2009 12:54

no. its really not good.

Bonneville · 19/04/2009 13:04

Horrid, chavtastic.

edam · 19/04/2009 13:18

Your baby, your choice, but I wouldn't recommend it, for all the reasons given below.

RachieB · 20/04/2009 09:55

Not nice for a boy, and def not a girl IMO

Fimbo · 20/04/2009 09:57

I know someone who called her ds this because it is her surname. She is not married to the ds's father so you can imagine the confusion it causes.
