If you HAD to choose...

[krosp.livejournal.com]

This was inspired by silentyrs's recent post...

If you absolutely had to choose between one of these names, which would you choose, and why?

Madison or Mackenzie ?

MacKenzie.

I prefer it because I like hard 'k' sounds in names.

Yeah.

[imyourrapunzel.livejournal.com]

I would choose Madison because it seems more classy than Mackenzie. It's mostly based on impressions of people I've met with the names.

[julieannie.livejournal.com]

Madison. Because it is harder to mutiliate it with kre8iv spellings.

[so-there.livejournal.com]

madyson. madisyn. meighdiseighn. you can mutilate anything.

[hitzpink.livejournal.com]

Awesome icon!

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Madison because it makes me want to retch less and also you can just call her Maddy.

[invisiblepet.livejournal.com]

Your reasoning is what I picked too.

Maddy or "sunny"...like someone else said.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Sunny is cute, though I admit it's not what I think at first when I see Madison.

[ellycopter.livejournal.com]

madison.

mackenzie reminds me of
a) 7th heaven and
b) my friend's dalmatian.

[thunderofsins.livejournal.com]

forgive my ditz moment...but who on 7th Heaven is named mackenzie?

[ellycopter.livejournal.com]

the youngest daughter.

[thunderofsins.livejournal.com]

OHH I was thinking character names...and there is no character named Mackenzie! :) Got it now

[ellycopter.livejournal.com]

oh wait.
the actress's name is mackenzie.
the girl is ruthie.
my mistake.

[thunderofsins.livejournal.com]

:) I just figured that out in your last comment. I reply through my e-mails rather than the site, and I start at the bottom and go up so I saw and responded to your other one first.

I just couldn't bring myself to use MacKenzie. Seems a hideously pretentious wannabe-yuppy sort of name. No way would I give my daughter a name meaning 'son of'; my Scottish blood boils at such bastardising.

So Madison then by default is generally more appealing [my mother is a fan of it, for some reason]. Though I'd insist she be called Sunny for short.

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

I thought Madison meant son of Maude?

[solyma.livejournal.com]

madison, because i live in madison, wi and i love it here. :)

[blue-stealth.livejournal.com]

Madison! In a heartbeat. Mackenzie is overrated

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

Mackenzie because I love that name anyway.

[so-there.livejournal.com]

Madison. because then I could just call her "maddy" and hope people think her name is madeline. and if people asked, I would lie and say it was. ;)

[heyitsrebecca.livejournal.com]

I was going to post the EXACT same thing.. LOL

[opalfirefly.livejournal.com]

i like Makenzie-- Kenize has always been a cute nn for me

[p-inkjeans.livejournal.com]

Madison. I hate both names, but I kind of like the nickname Maddie, so I could deal with it.

[x-lostinyou.livejournal.com]

Mackenzie, but only because it is less popular. It doesn't make me barf any less.

[stacilia.livejournal.com]

Madison. I abhor the name Mackenzie. And it would be wierd, because the next town over from me, is called Mackenzie. Even spelled the same way....

[amyames.livejournal.com]

madison but only because i love the nn maddy.
funny but in highschool when my bf and i talked about future baby names we picked mackenzie madison for a girl. thank god, i didn't get pregnant back then, eh? :)

[babyhoyt.livejournal.com]

haha... that combo is awful by today's standards, isn't it??

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

Mackenzie because my association with the name is the beautiful Mackenzie River!

HOWEVER, I really like Madison. I just can't stand names that are super popular, which is why I don't consider it anymore.

[babyhoyt.livejournal.com]

I would be forced to pick Madison, or else deal with the rath of my SIL who already named a daughter Mackenzie. I would still choose Madison, and call her maddy.

[sayga.livejournal.com]

if i HAD to pick, i'd pick madison, and pretend that the former president James Madison (http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/jm4.html)inspired me greatly.

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

I dislike Madison, so Mackenzie.

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

Mackenzie. I just like it better.

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

Mackenzie.

tough though.

[calixbat.livejournal.com]

I like them both! haha
I guess Id choose Mackenzie though..

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

I guess Madison.

[oh-snitch.livejournal.com]

I really don't like either, but if I had to choose, Mackenzie. Because I could come up with some sweet nicknames.

[sanity741.livejournal.com]

Madison all the way. Mackenzie just sounds ugly.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Madison.
Mackenzie is so so so ugly. 'Muck/yuck' i just absolutely detest it! It's

I actually quite like Madison, if it wasnt so trendy i'd like it a whole lot more.

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

Madison

I may hate this name with all of my might but Mackenzie...it's just to ugly, and weird.

[annieareyouokay.livejournal.com]

Madison. I had a madison piercing a year ago, and I'd just tell the kid I loved it so much I named them after it, haha.

[maewyn]

Madison. I hate Mackenzie.

[special-girl.livejournal.com]

Mackenzie anyday, Madison is so over rated! Cant stand it. I love the name Mackenzie tho, we have a girl at playgroup called Mackenna! I have grown to like that as well for something different.

[lilfaeriegirl.livejournal.com]

MacKenzie is a boy's name as it means "Son of Kenneth"
Madison is also boyish.. "Son of Matthew" (http://www.babynames.com/Names/Alpha/?let=M)

[turabiannights.livejournal.com]

I think I'd choose infertility. :/

Madison, I guess. I just can't get over the Mac- prefix... though the -son suffix is just as bad in the end.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

oh god it just makes me want to vomit, but mackenzie. i suppose.
