Mackenzie boy or girls name?

[Mummyxbear]

Hi
I love the name Mackenzie and I like it for a boy, traditionally it's a boys name but I believe this is now used for girls and can be viewed as a more 'feminine' name. What are other people's views is it a boys or girls name? Also how common is this name?
Thanks in advance

I always thought it was a boys name but my dad suggested it last week as a girls name but I definitely wouldn't call a girl Mackenzie x

I think it is one of those male names like Sydney that has become popular as a girls name primarily in the US. I don't know any Mackenzies and I would probably associate it as a girls name for the reason given (have only heard it for girls on US tv shows)
