Trendy parents

[mandarene]

My cousin is pregnant and starting to look at baby names. So far, she loves McKenna, McKinley, and McKenzie. These are definitely not my style, but I promised to send her some more suggestions anyway.

Do you know of any nice, modern names that are not started with "Mc"? So far, I have considered the name Melina. Any more? Thanks!

I like just Kenna. Jenna, Jessa, Brenna, and Darcy are the 'trendier' names I like.

Generally not a fan of trendy names, but some of the "trendier" ones I do like are Hadley, Natalie, Waverly and Zoe.

Also, I just thought of the name Michelina... it can be pronounced "mick-uh-lee-nuh", so it has a similar beginning to the Mc's but is a bit classier.
