Vote on spelling please

So, I know the name I chose is overall disliked on here, I saw it on a few "hated" lists. My question is about the spelling though. We are naming her Mckenna or Makenna. Please vote. Also our last name starts with a Ma, not sure if that makes a difference. [Poll]

    I think it depends on how you want it pronounced. Do you want her to be called "Ma-kenna" or "Mc-Kenna?" Personally, I like "Ma-kenna" better.

    while I approve of both, I like the make version as it lends better to the nickname mak.

    I agree with PPs.

    It depends on how exactly you want it to be pronounced. I personally favor Makenna.

    I like the Makenna sounding better than Mc. Plus your last name starts with Ma...so I'd def use Makenna! :) It fits

    I strongly disagree with the PPs. Makenna looks made-up and silly IMO. Definitely go with Mc. And they sound exactly the same.

    Yup.

    McKenna with a capitalized K actually looks best to me.

    Either is fine. Both are legit and both are pronounced the same. It's a matter of personal preference. I voted for McKenna though.

    I like it with a big K -- McKenna.

    Depends on how you want it pronounced.  I COMPLETELY disagree with PP who say they're pronounced the same.

    McKenna = mi-KEN-uh (mi as in Michigan)

    Makenna = muh-KEN-uh (muh as in mush)
