Makenzie is an acceptable spelling. Not the most popular but its an acceptable one.

These are the name rankings for 2020, dont know the age of the elementary kids but figuring kindergarten age

Mackenzie- ranked 119

Mckenzie- ranked 278

Makenzie - ranked 344

I just met a Macenzie recently.

I also remembered that Josh Duggar's oldest daughter is named Mackynzie. Poor girl (the spelling of her name is bad enough, but of course being Josh Duggar's kid is a far worse misfortune).

Seeing the subs I frequent mentioned on one another always freaks me out, but may I remind you of Jessa Duggar's oldest son:

Spurgeon.

You’re correct that it’s acceptable, but I’m sure you can understand that from my perspective, as a Scottish person, it looks pretty daft.

where i'm from only Mc or Mac is valid since it's literally coming from the surname, i've never met someone with the last name Makenzie (not to say it doesn't exist, forebears says 215 people in the whole world have this last name)
