The list of nicknames that have stemmed from my given name of Marygrace is actually quite long when I think about it. The most obvious but least used nickname being Mg, while other names such as Mig and Mur are what dominate people’s minds when they speak to me. Other nicknames have come and gone such Pigeon and Magnesium. However, overall each nickname I have gone or go by represents an important part of my life.

My full name is Mackenzie Anne McDonough. My Dad picked out both my first and middle name. He wanted my name to be Irish, so he looked up Irish names. My middle name, however isn’t Irish and he picked it because it’s my grandma's (my mom’s mom) name who passed when my mom was 16. My dad hates nicknames unless of course he’s the one who says it.
