What do you think of Adalyn Makenzie?

What do you think of this name for our little girl? Our last name starts with a “M” and is very common.

Brothers are [name]Easton[/name] and Rowdy

If you have a suggestion that is along the same lines please feel free to leave it.

My hubby loves the name [name]Kenzie[/name] and I loved [name]Adalyn[/name] so this was my compromise.

I think it’s a very contemporary choice and fits nicely with your sons names. [name]Adalyn[/name] is a little trendy and popular but also feels like a vintage classic - [name]Ada[/name] and [name]Addy[/name] are lovely, too.

I prefer the [name]Adeline[/name] spelling, personally (looks cleaner), but [name]Adalyn[/name] is not horrible.

Definitely not my cup of tea. That being said it flows well and the combo is very modern and will fit in well.

I like it but I much prefer the [name]Mackenzie[/name] spelling.

I like [name]Adalyn[/name] a lot although I prefer the [name]Adeline[/name] spelling. [name]Makenzie[/name] is not really my thing but I like that you both incorporated your likes in the name.

I like [name]Adalyn[/name], but like pp I prefer [name]Adeline[/name].

Yep.

Are you pronouncing it ayda-lynn or add-uh-lynn? If you’re pronouncing it like add-uh-lynn, I’d spell it [name]Adelyn[/name].

[name]Mackenzie[/name] needs the c…but other than that, cute.

Very trendy sounding, but [name]Adeline[/name] is not a bad name. [name]Mackenzie[/name] makes me think of hot dogs as its a thing where I live.

Is there any particular reason you want to use that spelling? Using the real spellings will keep the “modern” feel but the name with age better.

And I don’t know if it matters since it’s a middle name but [name]MacKenzie[/name] is extremely common at the elementary school where I work. (It’s weird how regional naming trends can be!)

It’s a modern choice.
I like it.
[name]Adalyn[/name] does sound a bit like “madelyn” without a “M” to me. Sadly a bit like [name]Elodie[/name]- which as much as I love it sounds like [name]Melody[/name].
I think you may get spelling troubles- [name]Adelyn[/name], [name]Adeline[/name], [name]Adaline[/name] etc
Possibly pronounciation issues- I would say it as “ad-a-lyn” but a PP thought it was [name]ADA[/name]-lyn

That said, I like it.
I have a soft spot for [name]Mackenzie[/name] too. Agree on the ‘c’.

[name]Lovely[/name] choice - goes well with your other sons names and fits your style well :slight_smile: I would personally spell it [name]Adeline[/name] [name]Mackenzie[/name] but that is just personal preference.

P.S if you are worried about pronunciation - which is why some people choose the [name]Adalyn[/name] spelling - think [name]Madeline[/name] - rhymes with [name]Adeline[/name], I think people would pronounce it just as easily :slight_smile:

We are wanting the [name]Add[/name]-a-lyn pronunciation. I like the spelling [name]Adeline[/name] but I do not want the “line” ending. I’m not picky on the [name]Makenzie[/name] thing I have no problem with [name]Mackenzie[/name].
