    When I first seen the name I instantly thought of Chrysler 300... The car ...

    It sounds like you're really set on the first name. It's going to get misspelled and mispronounced 100% of the time. But if you're fine with that, Makenzie is better, definitely more feminine.

    Actually more people pronounce it correctly than we thought because of the actress Chyler Leigh

    Definitely did not think that was how it's pronounced. Kid will be correcting everyone all the time! I have never seen it before.

    Id personally pronounce that Tsjyler, which is totally not a phonetic way of typing but I think it gets my pronounciation across. 
    Just putting my 2 cents in though, never heard of the actress either.

    I love Makenzie, that was actually on my short list of girl names with a slightly different spelling (Mackenzie) :)

    When I first read this, I read it as chyler with a ch sound like cheese. I showed my mom next to me and she said it the same way. Also we've never heard of that actress but we could just be missing out. If I were you I would just save your daughter the trouble she's gonna have her whole life and change the spelling to Kyler or Cyler. But if you don't want to, I totally get that because she's your daughter and you don't have to listen to some lady on a forum!:) love Makenzie with it!

    Yep no idea that was Kyler and honestly they both look and sound masculine. I really dislike both.

    Cyler would prob also be pronounced wrong. Like sigh-ler.... ch can be pronounced as the k sound. For instance chlorine.... that's all I can think of for now.

    I don't know how to pronounce the first name so I don't like either option.

    When I saw it I immediately saw Kyler because the first thing that came to my mind was Christ...also Chaldeans is pronounced with the k sound. There were quite a few other words that have Ch as K but I'm drawing a blank right now. It also is in the name dictionary spelled Chyler meaning "Beloved" that's what sold me on it.

    I like the name Chyler. Could be because I am slightly obsessed with Greys Anatomy so I thought of Chyler Leigh immediately. Chyler Mackenzie has a nice sound to it. In the end it's really up to you. We chose Emmelynn for our daughter. Even after numerous people on a different board told me then Lyn trend was too played out, we did it for pronunciation sake because the traditional spelling Emmeline is pronounced emmaleen where we live. But I would stick to your gut. Chyler is a great name imo and I've definitely seen and heard a lot stranger.

    Thank you, Emmelynn is beautiful! And she won't have 30 other kids in her school with that name. I love yours also!
