Possible boy name...like it or not??

924wedding · July 2009

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!!

EXL311 · July 2009

I don't like it. It sounds like a nickname and reminds me of a truck.

Chaotickiss · July 2009

I personaly wouldn't use it, but its suitable for with your other DS's name and your last name.

I am not a huge fan. If you are after an Irish name, there are so many great Irish boy names!! GL in your search

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.

One of my favorite Irish names is Orin. Here's a great website with a ton more Irish names and how to pronounce them. https://www.babynamesofireland.com/index.html

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?)

Thanks for your honest input ladies!

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 guess I am in the minority when I say I love it! My maiden name started with Mac and I wanted to name DS that.

shanBmcg · July 2009

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.

I love it. My nephew's name is Mackay and we call him Mack. I think it is great!

nlvaden · July 2009

I like it!

924wedding · July 2009

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!!

shopgirl_07 · July 2009

I've always really loved the name Mack. Love it.

I have a family friend who is a very prominent physician with the name Mack.

clarabellmav · July 2009

if Mac went with my last name, it would be on the list.... i like it a lot!!

mrs_sisco · July 2009

I'm going to go against the crowd and say that I LIKE it!! lol How bout something like Mackenzie...and then you could call him Mack as a nn?

AllThatGlitters101 · July 2009

I like Mac as a nn, but not as a name on it's own. I love Cormac!

Pickle123 · July 2009

I think of Mack-daddy.

Love this idea!

wheelenl · July 2009

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.

kate1011 · August 2009

It makes me want to bust out in song "d-a-double d-y m-a-c. yeah you know me" lol. nms. but use it if you like it!

RYANSWIFEY · August 2009

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!

wannabmommy · August 2009

I think of a semi or an old, tough guy. I guess I don't hate it, but that's what I think of when I hear the name.

SoonToBeMrsTB · August 2009

nms, DH had a guy work for him whose nn was Mac and he was a weirdo!
