As a first name?

Not keen as a first name but maybe use it as a middle name if you really love it?

weebarra · 05/10/2018 20:48

Yes, my Maclean was shortened to Mac.

MrBull · 05/10/2018 20:48

I don't think it's one of those surnames that have really crossed over into common forenames like
Fraser, Cameron, Lewis etc. I don't like 'mac' names used as first names though. Mackenzie was really popular for a while.

Would work well as a middle name.

Campbell?

What on Earth has it got to do with MIL?

Also, it kind of reminds me of those dreadful Die Hard films (John McLean often just gets called McLean!)

No to McLean, sorry !

I love Harris like you already have .

Angus is one of my favs. Hamish ? I loooove Hamish. I know little boys called Argyll and Oban if that's your thing lol.

ReginaPhalange89 · 05/10/2018 21:02

Just seen you can't have Hamish 🙈

KateTTC123 · 05/10/2018 21:02

Argyle is nice, wouldn't have thought of that. Malcolm is another I'm thinking of, after my Dad.

Part of the problem is that I'm a teacher so I've taught too many kids with the regular names!
