We don't know what we're having this go around, but if it is a boy, we are thinking about the name Mack. Our first son's name is Liam and we have an Irish last name. Let me hear it...like it or not? I can take it!!
I agree with pp that Mack sounds really old. The pastor at my church who is in his 80s is named MacColumn and goes by Mack. It doesn't sound like a stand alone name either.
Ha! Glad I asked!! If we do have a little boy again, I surely do not want him to be associated with anyone loud, balding, mean, old or intontinent (sp?)
I actually like it! ?I knew a Mac in college and he was awesome- big, strong young guy, very popular. ?Nothing old about him. ?
I would probably give him a longer name Mac-something or Mc-something, just for a more formal name (any family names that would work?) and call him Mack.
I think it's cute and uncommon, but familiar. I think Cormac would be a really cute Irish alternative if you decide you want a longer, more formal name and use Mack as a NN.
Thanks ladies, I meant to spell it with just a "Mac" not "Mack", adn I'm glad I'm not alone in liking it!! Mackay might be cute....who knows husband will probably think it sounds " too preppy" God forbid!!
I would probably give him a longer name Mac-something or Mc-something, just for a more formal name (any family names that would work?) and call him Mack.
I know two little Macs, both because their moms had a maiden name that was Mac-something. One is actually just named Mac; the other is named Michael Christopher but goes by Mac.
I like the name--but I hate the K at the end. I would do Mac for sure, with or without a longer name.
I read a book a few years back and one of the main characters was an Irish guy named Mackin. I loved the name and actually just suggested it to my husband!
Re: Possible boy name...like it or not??
It reminds me of a really old, balding man with a big bushy white mustache and a bad attitude.
Probably because that's what my grandfather's brother, Mack, looks like. Mack just screams old. NMS.

Thanks for your honest input ladies!
