I feel really really bad for all the kids being born now who will have the same name as like 10 kids in every one of their classes at school forever, and who will always have to be known as (whatever name) (Initials) because it's so hard to differentiate.

Katelynn is nice enough, but the others? They sound like throwaway names that you chose because they looked oh-so-cute on a little baby rather than names that were chosen because you thought they'd serve the child well later in life.

I agree with what someone said about going with Katherine Lynn with Katelynn as a nickname, because it'll give her OPTIONS to go by later in life.

If you like Kenzie, I agree also about finding a less... well, trend-tastic, given name and using it as a nickname. I think it's actually a really sweet nickname for any number of other things, but NGL if I knew you I'd judge the crap out of you for dooming your child to a cutesy nickname for the rest of their life just because YOU liked it. Remember that she might not think it's so cute.

While I think it's sad that people are judged by their names in the workplace as adults but that is the world we live in and you may not like it and it may not be fair, but it's the unfortunate truth. I know a boy named Edward Cullen whose job-hunt this year has been HELL because no one takes him seriously because of his name.

Give her options, give her a name that will serve HER and not just you. She'll love you for it, I promise.
