McKynleigh is how my cousin has decided to spell her babies name.. I'm I the only one who sees this as odd?

It looks like a surname to me.

It is unusual. Is it a boy or girl?

Is she any good with apostrophes, though?

As in ' McKinley High' from Glee I should expect - it's a school not a child's name.

unusual, but saying that I have a cousin called McKenna, and she loves her name so I guess it's not too different.(Her sisters have completely normal names!)

Err, what does it matter what we all think of your cousin's baby's name? Presumably they're happy with it? I hate all this judgey bollocks on here about names. Each to their own.

McKinley High is named after US president William McKinley who was shot dead at the 1901 Pan American Exposition in Buffalo. Wonder if your cousin knows that.

It sounds like an American detective programme. Grin

Probably best you ask HQ to remove this thread. It's very identifying.

I agree with poster above - your poor cousin. I really hope she doesn't see this thread. Get it deleted ASAP.

Did you really start a thread to mock your cousin?
