[Opinions] Re: Annaliese and Makailey
in reply to a message by jen1450
Anneliese (I prefer this spelling) is alright, but getting too popular for my tastes.
Makailey, no matter how you spell it, is just bad imo. It is just another Mc- name to me, even though it starts with Ma-, and a horrible butchering of Michaela, which is a real name. Adding Mc- to any name/mixture of letters (i.e. McKenna, McKenzie, McKayla...and furthermore Mc means "son of"!) is like calling your child McNugget or McFlurry. Just tacky.
Edited to add: I pronounce Anneliese/Annalise, etc. like ANNA-lease, but the other prns are nice, too.
