Now that it's just plain weird to call your kid that - according to my logics!!!!
McKenna is soooo a surname!! There was a ned (I don't know whet the equivalent american would be but its somebody that wears kappa tracksuits and baseball caps and speaks nasely and spits and drinks and smokes! The English name for it would be a Chav - but in Scotland they are Non Educated Deliquents. ) in my class with the surname mcKenna.
Suprised at how many traditional British names are on the list. And Kylie is on it.. you guys are about 20 years behind us in the UK there and gawd knows how far behind Oz. - there are now lots of 18year olds called Kylie in the UK after the one amazing little Kylie Minogue!
Jeff Wrangler:
What, no Ennis? ;D
Guess my name wore out its welcome a long time ago. :( Actually, I don't wonder. It must have been awfully popular in the late 1950s because by the time I got to elementary school in the early 1960s there were sometimes as many as four of us Jeffs in one class.
How long has Kylie Minogue been around? How can there be a bunch of 18-year-olds in the U.K. named after her? ???
Kind of interesting to see that Andrew is eighth, and that its derivative/shortened form Drew is one hundredth.

I'm surprised to see an old friend's name on the list 'Layla'. She was Middle-Eastern. Her name translates to a kind of 'evening light'.
And why Makayla and not MIchaela? They're pronounced the same, and I think the latter is the correct feminized version of Michael.

Kylie has just become known in the states but has been around for a long time. She was a child actress. I first knew her from the Hendersons Kids - an Oz kids programme where she rode about on a bike a fair bit.
But she became REALLY famous in 86 when she had a role in Oz soap Neighbours. her character was Charlene - a tomboy girl who became a mechanic and married the heart throb male teenage character called Scott Robinson (one Jason Donavon that now does lots of WestEnd musicals) . I cried at the wedding!! And I loved 'Suddenly' the song they played at the wedding and which became a hit. I must download it on to my MP3 player some time.
She was in the film the delinquents in 1989 which i deperately wanted to see but was never allowed as it was a 15 rating and I was 8!.
Anyway - Kylie then went on to be a HUGE pop star, but in the mid 90's she kinda dissapeared as a large pop icon but she came back in 2000 and blew us all away again.
She was also the green fairy in moulin rouge because Baz Lurhmann loves here!
