Could Kenzie ever work on it's own?

So if you’ve ever seen my name lists you know I love nickname names - [name_f]Libby[/name_f] , [name_f]Edie[/name_f] , [name_f]Tess[/name_f] , [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] , [name_f]Bree[/name_f] and more make my lists. But I keep coming back to adding [name_u]Kenzie[/name_u] to my list. I’m not a huge fan of [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] and [name_m]Kensington[/name_m] as much as I like it brings back bad memories so I could never add it to my list. What do you guys think?

I really like [name_u]Kenzie[/name_u]! It’s a lot better than [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] and [name_m]Kensington[/name_m] in my opinion. It’s funny because I’m not a big fan of nickname names but I do like [name_u]Kenzie[/name_u].

I’ve never liked [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] either, I think [name_u]Kenzie[/name_u] sounds great on it’s own!

[name_u]Kenzie[/name_u] doesn’t sound very nicknamey to me. When I hear [name_u]Kenzie[/name_u] I think of names like [name_u]Kelsey[/name_u], [name_u]Kacey[/name_u], etc. It stands alone just fine :slight_smile:

I don’t see why not. I like [name_u]Kenzie[/name_u] on its own, along with the Kensie spelling too :slight_smile: i think it would need a substantial middle like you’ve paired [name_f]Libby[/name_f] and [name_f]Bree[/name_f] with.
Another alternative could be using something like [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Zara[/name_f], [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Zadie[/name_f] and [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] nn [name_u]Kenzie[/name_u]/Kensie but i do think [name_u]Kenzie[/name_u] could work alone

Sure, why not?

I don’t see why it couldn’t work. Many nickname-type names are being used as full names these days ([name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_u]Billie[/name_u], [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_f]Millie[/name_f] & [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] are all in the top 100 names of this year here in Australia), and no-one thinks anything odd of it. [name_u]Kenzie[/name_u] would fit right in with this modern trend.

It’s a full name to me.

I was going to say I’m not a fan, but then I thought of Kensey which I like and suddenly it doesn’t sound so bad anymore!

I think it’s fine. [name_m]Plenty[/name_m] of nicknames are used independently nowadays. I don’t see why [name_u]Kenzie[/name_u] wouldn’t be accepted.

I love [name_u]Kenzie[/name_u] [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u]. I’d use it

[name_u]Kenzie[/name_u] is absolutely fine on its own. Since [name_u]MacKenzie[/name_u] literally means son of [name_u]Kenzie[/name_u], why not?

As a nickname I love it short for [name_f]Kerenza[/name_f].

I don’t have a strong feeling either way, but if you want to hear the name used often as a full name I recommend watching the show Lost Girl (on Netflix). One of the main characters is named [name_u]Kenzie[/name_u] and it really made me warm up to the name!
