I want such a beautiful and unique name for my daughter... Does anyone like the name McKenna Lorainne? I can't think of a middle name for McKenna. It's driving me nuts!! I also love the name Peyton Claire. (Can't think of a middle name for Peyton either!) I don't know if I'm gonna use Peyton because a girl on my street just had a daughter and named her that, but I love that name so much!

Not a problem, but it's the exact reason I'm posting here!! :) To get ideas and to get opinions!! You don't have to apologise. I've just never heard of the names Peyton or McKenna. That's why, around here, they'd be unique :)

Peyton isn't actually *popular*, it's more trendy than anything else. The boy's-name-on-a-girl thing was REALLY big in 2000-20001.

McKenna isn't REALLY popular either, but again, the Mc- names thing was trendy in the same time period as Peyton. Also, the Mc- suffix means "son of." Not really feminine in my eyes :/

Sorry if I sound like a know-it-all, but I do a lot of research on names and have been for a while. I'm a nerd.

I'd like to offer up that I think Kenna is a cool name on its own, though :)

Exactly. Trendy names are exactly what they're called, a trend. And when the trend is over you're going to have a child who can't spell his/her own name and thinks that everyone should have 4 or more "y" and "ae" combinations in their name.

That's why I like MaKenna a little, because everyone I know calls her Kenna.
