What boy names go with Makenna as a sister? We have a girl's list we are set on but can't agree on boy names. I like Greyson, Declan, and Callum he likes Grady, Brennan and Landon. Need some suggestions!!

Why does it have to go with his sister's name? I think you should be focusing on him more as an individual but not as a playoff of his sister. I'm sorry I don't mean to come off as rude but I don't really think it matters if the names sound good together.

Well, theoretically, since Makenna is a masculine/androgenous, last name-sounding name, a boy would have a more feminine name.  How about Ashley, Shannon or Julian?

Declan or Landon : )

I think Declan is the best - it picks up on the Irish background and shares the hard K sound.  Nice.

I don't agree.  I think Makenna has established itself as predominantly female, but even if it hadn't, it would be another reason to go with a more masculine name for a brother - so the sexes of the siblings would be better identified when listing their names.

Predominantly female in use or not, the name still means "son of Kenneth" which makes it masculine or androgenous at best.
