Lol, I know a Mackenzie who is a boy so I suppose it's just a uni-sex name. It's not that common, but I would rather have an uncommon name. I tell you, it is annoying to turn your head whenever someone says 'Will', even in a sentance. 'Will you buy that?' and I turn my head to see if someones calling me, bah, enough ranting I think!

lol^

Why? That's stupid, calling the baby 'confused' just because JKR called her baby 'Mackenzie'.

^ It's a joke lol and it's not because of JK. It's because her son plays with a pink handbag...it's making her re-think, perse, the connotations of the name, Mackenzie...

....oh nevermind! lol

Maybe it's the British humour that some people don`t get.

lol

^don't worry I get it XD. I just wonder who gave the kid the pink makeup bag..great Christmas gift!

Lol the kid plays with a pink makeup bag .ha.

Tee-hee! She's got a good eye for pop culture material in her comedy.

Ha ha ha! That's funny!

Mackenzie is a very nice name. And I think it goes for both girl and boy. I know another name like that: Darien. I love that name and it too is a uni-sex name. So, yeah... I lost my thought...

lol.thats hilarious. and where did he get the make up bag? there are loads of uni sex names...like eugene. depends on how you pronounce it. im glad my name is nabiya,i havent yet met a person with the same name

Mackenzie was originally a Celtic guy's name ('mac' meaning 'son of') but it's been Americanified now, so it works either way.

LOL. That's really funny, poor boy.

Most people I've talked to about the babies name say that "it's a boy's name.. why was she called that?" Which is funny because I know quite a few Mackenzies, all of whce are girls.

i would thin that it would be a girls name. i dont know any guys with that name?

That's a pretty funny anecdote.
I think one of my first reactions when I learned the baby's name is, "Isn't Mackenzie sort of boy-ish?" But then, I remembered seeing/hearing a girl named Mackenzie, so...
:sorcerer:

well i think the name suits boys an a girl so no complaints from me but her artical is funny!

that's funny!
Well, I personally think there is nothing wrong with a boy and a girl sharing a name

I think it is quite common to have a name for both, girls and boys
It is not like JK named her girl Stuart or Ron.

Hahahaha! That's so brilliant!

lol i love it v funny.. i know a woman who is called mackenzie all that will happen is she will be called Kenzi...

i wonder if more baby girls will be called Mackenzie because int he uk when someone famouse seems to have a baby or people on tv the kids name is usualy sudenly popular example when Sonia in Eastenders had her baby and called it Cloe loads of babys were called it same when sarah had bethany in coronation street lol..

I always thought that was a girl's name....

There`s no point to be confused!

I like the name Mackenzie.
It's funny I haven't heard anyone reference Mackenzie Phillips, an 'actress' who became famous in the US from her TV role on One Day At A Time (1975-83). She was the daughter of 2 singers from the 'Mammas and the Pappas'. She's continued to do work since then as well.
She also was in the movie American Graffiti in 1973 as Carol.
Isn't Mackenzie, or 'Mack' also the name of the female lead in the tv series JAG?

lol! never heard that name before...

Mackenzie is a cool name, at least JK didnt call her kid something like 'pineapple' or even worse 'radio' like the actress from a knights tale did!!
