Mack?

My great grandfather was Peter Mack. I love Mack but does it flow at all with Preston....Mack Preston, is that too harsh sounding? I like Peter but Peter Preston is just too much for me. What do you think?

My brother-in-law's last name is Mack, and it comes with a lot of nicknames. Big Mack, Daddy Mack, etc.  Slang for Mack can also mean pimp or a very flirtatious player. He deals with it because it's his last name, but I don't know how he would treat it as a first.

I like Mack as a NN, but I think I'd use Michael as the full name.

Both my brother and father are Billy Mac and they never got any nicknames or slang.   I must say I don't think it flows that well.  I don't know what to suggest. I feel your pain I just decide not to use my grandfather's name after a hard debate. I just think he'll still be a part of his heritage.  If you had to pick one though I'd take Peter Preston then his nickname could be Pete Preston.

This. Mack is very much nn only to me. I do like Peter, but yeah, not with Preston. Do you not like Preston as a fn? I think Preston Mack would be good. 

Prestion is my FI's MN that has been passed down through generations so he wants to keep the tradition.

I actually like Mack. It's cute. Maybe because I know a great guy w/ the name. I believe his is a nn for Mackenzy, which is a family name. I don't think it's bad as a stand alone name, though. For years I never knew his was a nn for anything. I think Mack Preston sounds ok. To me family meaning is more important than flow.

Our last name rhymes with Lincolns and I think Mack flows well with it. Mack Preston "Lincolns" seems to flow a little better. I would like to honor my great grandfather.

I like Mack.  I knew a kid named Mack growing up and I always thought it was a cool name.  He'll probably be the only one in his class who has it, which to me is a positive, as long as the name isn't too crazy weird, which Mack is not.  Plus the family connection is cool.

I love it. Recently lost an uncle by this name. He had young kids so I think they should be able to use it, otherwise I'd consider it. Very Scottish.

I agree with Preston Mack.

I know 2 people with this name. I think it's great and fits them perfectly. If it wasn't my cousins name, I would consider it.
