Re: What's Behind "Sarah Jeanne Duchek"?
I asked because it was my mother's maiden name, and I thought it would be cute to call a girl Andie. I also love the name Mackenzie for a girl, and that also means son of someone, doesn't it?

Hi, my name is Andie and I'm a girl. I love my name, Andie is my full name. People always ask me "Is your name short for Andrea?" and that is really annoying!

Yes you're right, "Mackenzie" is another one of those "son of" names. Personally, I prefer just plain "Kenzie" for a girl, which drops the "son of" meaning.I dunno, it just sounds more feminine to me. Especially since you know that nobody is going to nickname "Kenzie" to "Mac" -- a distinct possibility with the name "Mackenzie".-- Nanaea
