What are your thoughts on the name Cormac, possibly occassionally shortened to Cory. I think it's a nice strong name for a man but struggle to picture it on a baby. Thought?

@Outfoxed yes!!

Sungura · 15/10/2018 02:32

Cormac without the nn. Yes.

mathanxiety · 15/10/2018 02:12

Love Cormac but not Cory as a nn.

DelilahsDelight1 · 14/10/2018 14:38

I like the name. I know one child named Cormac. When his parents are calling him in from playing, they call him Cormy Confused this makes me cringe

ElspethFlashman · 14/10/2018 14:34

Have met many Cormacs. Never ever heard it shortened to anything. I can't stand Cory. Too Nickelodeon for me.

SuperstarDJ · 14/10/2018 14:31

Love Cormac. Hate Cory.

WaxOnFeckOff · 14/10/2018 14:16

I like Cormac but not that keen on Cory as a shortening. I just wouldn't shorten it tbh.

daisypond · 14/10/2018 14:13

Yes, I like it. I think of Cormac McCarthy, the author.

fifithefoof · 14/10/2018 13:02

I like it. There's a bad Cormac on Corrie atm.

FishCanFly · 14/10/2018 12:57

yes!

missyB1 · 14/10/2018 12:23

Lovely name but please don't shorten it. If you call him Cory thats what people will assume his name is, Cormac is too nice to be changed!

anatol · 14/10/2018 12:17

Lovely name if you're Irish. I've never heard of it being shortened though.

Wherearemycarkeys · 14/10/2018 11:42

Oohh Conrad is cool too!

RavenWings · 14/10/2018 11:35

Great name.

Outfoxed · 14/10/2018 10:35

My first and only association with the name Cormac is Hermione Grangers sexually aggressive Slugclub Christmas Party date Cormac Mclaggen..

CherryPavlova · 14/10/2018 08:27

Good if you’re Irish or Catholic.

Cel982 · 14/10/2018 08:20

I like it - I'm Irish and it's not an uncommon name here. I know one Cormac who goes by Corey.

C0untDucku1a · 14/10/2018 08:20

My immediate association is cormac murphy o’conner. I have no others. I know of no others. I like it.

ismellsnow · 14/10/2018 08:16

Love it, considered it for my DS along with Conrad

ThursdayLastWeek · 14/10/2018 08:14

Where I live Cormac is the name of the company contracted to build roads. It would be a massive no no here because of that!

If you like Cory, why not simply Cory?

MaudebeGonne · 14/10/2018 08:11

I like it but I have a very lovely cousin called Cormac. For people who haven’t heard it pronounced, the “Mac” is more of a “mic” sound.

Wherearemycarkeys · 14/10/2018 08:08

I really like it. I'd shorten it to Mac if I was going to shorten it

SmallBee · 14/10/2018 08:01

Love it. There is an author called Cormac Mccarthy.

Zhx3 · 14/10/2018 08:01

The only Cormac I've heard of is Cormac Henry, who is Principal Flautist at the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra Grin. He really is an outstanding musician, so I have a positive vibe about the name!

funmummy48 · 14/10/2018 07:58

I quite like it but it does put me in mind if Caramac too!
