Please rate these names. Disregard spelling and 1 = hate, 10 = love.

Maggie is okay as a nickname but is far too childish sounding for a full name, I think. If a grown woman CHOOSES to go by Maggie, I think that's fine, but I feel like there are certain situations where she would probably benefit from having a more sophisticated full name to put on job applications, etc.

Margaret? Magdalena? etc.?

I LOVE December... but it's a guilty pleasure name for me. I might use it as a middle name if I ever have a girl born in December.

I hate Macenzie/Mackenzie/any form of this. I hate "mc" names... like McDonalds, etc. That may be because they all remind me of McDonalds.

I really adore Maggie. But I probably wouldn't use it without a "full" name for it. And the only one I can think of that I like is Magdalene. And, well, I don't think I want a child to be called "Mary Magdalene."

I like Marcus. But I like just Mark better. =/

My reasoning for my votes:
December - 2, because it's silly and has a tacky sound
Mackenzie (g) - 1, because it makes no sense on a girl (I love it on a boy, though, and would've given it a 9 or 10)
Maggie - 8, because it's a nickname, not a full name. But we plan on naming our first daughter Margaret and calling her Maggie.
Marcus - 4, because it's a fine name, I just don't like the sound of it at all.

I like December a lot, so I gave it an 8. I wouldn't use it, but I REALLY like it.

Mackenzie sounds tacky to me, but it's not TOTALLY awful, so I gave it a 4.

Maggie gets a 10 because it's one of my favourite ever names. Gorgeous. And my grandmother was a Margaret, and even though she went by Marg, I'm debating using Maggie for her.

Marcus is one of my least favourite names EVER. I absolutely hate it. The way it looks, the way it sounds... Everything is just ick for me.

Mackenzie on a boy?? Really?

[penguiny7.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I tend to think surnames turned into forenames seem masculine, plus it sounds and feels masculine, and most importantly the meaning is masculine. I think it's silly to use it on a girl. Same with Madison and Addison.

The first time I heard the name Mackenzie, it was on a boy. It wasn't until years later, that I noticed it becoming popular on girls. =/

Ia.

I agree. Mackenzie is very masculine, too bad people don't use it for boys very often.
