I have noticed a trend recently among facebook friends. There have been several baby girls named McKinley. The spelling varies from McKinley, to McKinli to MacKenleigh to McKinlee.
I loathe the name McKinley. (Although "McKinli" is even worse!) It is such a huge trend right now. I find it unfeminine and unflattering, it just sounds ugly. Besides, why would you want to name your daughter after a president who was assassinated?
I also hate the nicknames associated with it, Kinnie, Kinlee, Kin, etc. I think it is even worse than McKenzie and McKenna.
I do not like it either. The only way I think it looks fine spelling wise is McKinley (probably because that is the one I am used to, due to the president). It really just isn't pretty at all.
