Well...Lynn is nice. And Shea isn't too bad.

Not vote and no comment on the others. I have nothing nice to say...at all.

So...neither.

McKinley is not a first name for me. If that is the direction you want to travel in, I'd go with Mackenzie.

Kensington sounds as though you are trying to be pretentious, but it didn't work.

I'd keep thinking.

Kensington was on our list with McKinley, but we chose McKinley because I figured Kensington would be shortened to Kenzie, which I am not a fan of.

Out of the two choices, I prefer McKinley. Out of the middle name choices, I prefer Shea with McKinley.

I really dislike both of those names.

What about Mckenzie or Kelly or Kennedy?

Lynn is a great middle name!

Not going to lie, I had no idea whether or not those were supposed to be names for a boy or a girl until I read the middle name list. Mckinley sounds like a last name to me and Kensington is a place in London. I don't want to be mean but I don't like either of them, honestly.

I think "Lynn" is the best middle name you have listed.

I guess I'd go with Kensington.

It does have the feel of a name that is trying to sound preppy.

I hate Kensington the least if that helps....

Like PP, I had no idea if these names were supposed to be for a girl or a boy until I started reading the replies, and that is never a good sign. McKinley makes me think of the president, so I automatically think BOY. These are last names, and very masculine last names at that so I don't just don't get it....

I don't hate McKinley, as long as the K is capitalized... but I have only heard it as a boy's name.  McKinley Shea would be alright.  I think it would look better as McKinley Shay... or even Shay McKinley?

Is there a reason you can't use any of your middle name ideas as first names?  I'm not wild about any of them, but I vastly prefer your middle name ideas to your first name ideas, which I hate passionately and equally.

Neither. 

The only names I don't hate on your list are Lynn and Shea. And I prefer Shea as a boy name.

I'm sorry, these sound more like department store names than baby names.

What about Michaela Lynn?

I think I dislike McKinley more than I dislike Kensington, if that is helpful. I don't like place names, but I do like the Kensington section of London.  What would you use for a NN?

But you do realize any "McK" name is not different? It is super trendy right now.

At least Kensington is not in the "McK" camp, but she will still be among the hoards of girls with the nn "kenzie/kensie."

I'm not a fan of either, I like classic names so those two are just annoying to me.
