I named my oldest daughter Makenna Frances (we also have a son Finnian Oliver and a younger daughter Evelynn Claire) and absolutely LOVE the name. I came across it in a baby book when I was 18 years old and have loved it ever'since. My grandmother was Mary Frances and so being able to honor her with another "M.F." name was also important.

Makenna is my first born daughter's name. She is now 3 and as smart as can be. She loves her name as much as the rest of our family, and those we meet. She is an original for sure! I loved how the name means "happiness" and that is exactly what she brings us. Sometimes we call her Kenaa for short, but we try and call her Makenna because it is her name afterall and we love it!
