thoughts on our name for our baby boy?

[s1kylar]

My husbands nickname was Ethan Mack (his middle name is not Mack) after his Uncle whose name was “_ Mack” because he spent a ton of time with him growing up and his Uncle taught him how to rebuild car engines & made him his little prodigy.

We were thinking of using Mack for a middle name but we love Grant. Grant Mack. I don’t want to post our last name because it’s not a common one. But wondering what you guys thought about Grant Mack. Thinking G-Mack for a cute nickname!

Awww I think it’s sweet ! Especially G-Mack ! People always have differing opinions on names if you like it go for it !!

Mack is fine but I definitely raised an eyebrow at Grant. Fine in 1980, an odd choice today.

I quite like Mack (or Mac) but Grant gets the thumbs down from me.

As for G-Mack, it's terrible! Makes me think of P-Diddy or R-Kelly. It might suit a rapper but not an actual child in the real world.

Do you pronounce Grant as Gr'a'nt or Gr'ar'nt? Basically, are you from the North or South OP?😀I think two consecutive short 'a' sounds are a bit blunt-sounding, but if pronounced as 'Grarnt' Mack it's a bit more resonant.

Don't do G-Mack - it reminds me of 'Honey-G' from the X-Factor! Or that song 'Return of the Mack.'

Grant Mack really doesn’t flow at all well.

Sounds like someone who will be someone in life! Go for it!

G Mack makes me think of G Tech.

Grant is really dated and not in a good way. G-Mack - I have no words.

I don’t know - it’s your husband’s nickname… What if baby boy is absolutely not interested in car engines and is different to his dad?

But do agree to not overthink a middle name as they are rarely used. You can add another name if you are worried about it not flowing (as per pp-s). I.e Grant James Mack Surname

Grant is great!

Middle names are rarely used. I’d go with Mack as a first name personally. I’ve not heard it before but I really like it!

Ghosh, no pressure poor child

Hamish mack. But then im scottish and it reminds me of take the high road or that kids programme with the wee girl that lived on struay..Katie morag 🥰 and her wee red wellies.
