We are naming our baby MaKenna Faith :))
by BabyL75We named our daughter Makenna Danielle. I went back and forth on which spelling to use but I didn't want to have a capital K in the middle of her name.
by kad05My little 3 year old is Mckenna! I actually got the name from an old christopher reeves and jane seymor movie and jane's last name was mckenna and i loved it! It is def. popular now! There are a few mckenna's in our small town!

by LJ530My daughter McKena Marie is almost 16 and there are no others with her name in her whole school. It was not popular when I named her & I love the name!! Her sisters name is Delayne Jo which I love also & she is almost 14 & that wasn't popular either when I named her. I like the Irish names, if I would of had one more the name would of been Emersyn Rose another good Irish name!!
by madmom2My daughter's name is McKenna Sue...my maiden name is McClaren so we went with the Mc instead of Makena or Makenna to honor my family. She is 5 now. There were NO McKennas when she was born. It just wasn't even out there. Now, this name is everywhere! We were also looking at McKenzie, Mikaela, Madison and Kennedy, but everyone loved McKenna in the family and we do too. I love that American Doll named (and spelled exactly as we do) their doll McKenna!
by kristyg1116Love McKenna Lynn if we have a girl
by Jawdww17Our baby is Makenna, I loved this name, but didnt want a McBaby, just my opinion. Shes 6mos her dad and I nickname her Mak, Maky, Lil Mak....her cousins nicknamed her Kenna and ken ken.
