I reallllly love this name for a little girl, but I don't really like the look of the spelling McKinley, so I've been thinking of different ways to spell it that I like better. The first thing that came to mind was McKinleigh, because I feel the -Leigh ending makes it feel more girly. But I didn't know if that made it look too made up? I've also been thinking McKynlie or McKinlee
What do you think is the best spelling?
Also what middle names do you think go with it? A few I've been thinking on are:
McKinley Drew
McKinley Parker
McKinley Skye

Thanks!

MicKinley doesn't say boy to me at all, tbh <3 I'd go for that spelling, but if it bothers you... Mikinley? Mikynlie? Idk, I guess McKynlie's my second favorite. I dislike McKinleigh only because it looks super trendy imo :(

And I like McKinley Skye! <3 Lovely! :)

Hmm, other suggestions?

McKinley Aria
McKinley Vera
McKinley Josie / Jocelyn
McKinley Olive
McKinley Violet
McKinley Cadence
McKinley Tess
McKinley Isla

WDYT? :)

I love Jocelyn, but it's my little sisters name! :( I like Vera, for some reason when I read through your list the first time, I skipped over it because it's usually nms but then I reread it and McKinley Vera is adorable IMO! thanks so much for your input! I think I'm going to go with McKynlie because I feel the spelling McKinley has a very surnamey feeling.
