Help[Opinions] Re: Eeek!
in reply to a message by Rachel
I do prefer Mackenzie on a boy, but there's no reason why it shouldn't be used on a girl. At least none that I can see.
"Meanings" don't matter to me anymore. I mean, who decided that this name has this meaning? People like us, not some sort of higher beings.

You don't "decide meanings"
MacKenzie was not invented at random and then some "decided" that it meant "son of Kenneth". When people first used this name as a surname, they used BECAUSE it means "son of Kenneth". Those were the first surnames, names which meant "son of".
And you can't change the meaning or history. You can only decide that you don't care about meaning and history.
- She said he made a racial slur!
- Racial? She is Swedish!
- Maybe he called her Meatball.
