HelpRe: Help choosing from our shortlist??
in reply to a message by araslanka
Go with your favorite :) The haters shouldn't put you off unless you decide they have a point - if you actually agree that Mackenzie sounds masculine, or that it will not stand the test of time, or whatever else they say. My mother wanted to name my sister Shlomit, her friend asked her, "Like Shlomit vomit?" and she decided not to, because she couldn't get that out of her head. But if you do love it, don't worry! It's a decent name, and in real life it will get a much better reception than on these boards.
Another thing: I think at this point you should keep the whole shortlist and wait till you see the girls. One of them might just look like a Zoe, or maybe neither will look like a Mackenzie. I could tell you my favorite based on aesthetics (which is Tamsin, by the way), but it all comes down to what you think will be the most fitting for your actual real life daughter, as a child and as an adult.

Shlomit vomit >_< I think I know how she felt. When we talk about Mackenzie I can't get the things I read out of my head. I still think it's a nice name but I think people have a point when they say it does really fit with Maeve and Leo. But I don't think they have a point when they say it's ugly!
That's a good point! My boyfriend laughed and said all babies look like grumpy old men and we'll have to call them Henry and Arnold.
But he's joking cos we decided on Lee Alexander and when he was born my boyfriend said "No, his name is actually Leo. You can tell." And he was right. So I think this is a very good idea!
