About five years back I had a student (I taught dance) whose middle name was McKenzie. I loved that name but, I knew I would never name my daughter that because It doesn't begin with a K (My name is Karmen, I want my girls to have K names). So when I began doing research for a dog I always knew I wanted a female dog named McKenzie. When I got her two years later the name fit her perfectly. Being my first dog, I never understood the connection to a dog before getting her. So after while she was just known as Kenzie (because in essence she is my first little girl). But she still gets called by her full name when she is in trouble.
I have also nicknamed her Katters because of her cat like qualities. So most of the time she is Kenzie Katters. I changed the C to a K because everytime I tell someone my name is Karmen they write it with a C. So I have to say Karmen with a K. So when I started calling her Katters in order for her to not be teased by her pup friends about being called a cat. she can say Katters with a K.
