Got to register DS next week but not sure about his name. What do you think?

He is only 2 weeks old at the moment and we have an appointment to register him next week but I am unsure about his name. DP choose it and all his family love it, I can't help but call him a shortened version of it though which drives DP mad and sometimes I find myself forgetting his name. People ask me his name and I feel a bit daft telling them, as I half expect them to laugh. I often have to say it twice as they don't realise what I am saying the first time.

His name is Cormac.

Would you laugh or think WTF if someone introduced their DS as 'Cormac'?

It does suit him though, just fed up of some people taking the piss, or mis-hearing and asking me if he is named after the curry - Korma!

I keep calling him Cormy, which isn't good as we wanted him to be known as Mac for short, if he chose to have it shortened.

What do you think?

Very common name here (N. Ireland). Not usually shortened either.

I know a little boy called Cormac (he's Cory for short though) and it really suits. It's unusual but still a proper name, ifyswim. I think it'd be really cool on a teenage as well. Definitely a thumbs up!

Great name. ignore the people with no style of their own.

He will grow into his name, it is always strange when the bump becomes a person with a name of their own Smile
