babynamesHello everyone,
(This may offend some of you, and I apologize in advance)
I'm left scratching my head, wondering why many mothers in America have latched onto the name MacKenzie. I've always associated it with the well loved Bull Terrier, Spuds Mackenzie.
I'm 24 and of child bearing age, yet I remember Spuds very clearly. Spuds was the mascot for Bud Light Beer during the late 80's and 90's.
Is this a case of national forgetfulness?
What is your opinion? Mackenzie: Dog name or not?
Am I letting my pop culture iconography taint a perfectly reasonable name?
Why is this name so popular?
