Home Alone fan?

ManchesterBeatrice · 25/03/2024 20:18

Dreadful.

Bluevelvetsofa · 25/03/2024 20:19

Not a fan.

I like it.

American

onwardsup4 · 25/03/2024 20:28

Actually quite like it , first thought is obviously Culkin though

Watchthedoormat · 25/03/2024 20:29

Awful.

BringMeSunshineAllDayLong · 25/03/2024 20:30

I like the nickname Mac don't like the name

FlyingDuck5 · 25/03/2024 20:30

I prefer Richie. Rich.

Playingintheshadow · 25/03/2024 20:30

Culkin.

JaneSeymourTheOnlyOneHeTrulyLoved · 25/03/2024 20:30

I like it and also Malachi.

OldTinHat · 25/03/2024 20:30

I like it :)

Moreteaandchocolate · 25/03/2024 20:49

Sorry, not keen, but love Mac as a short version.

LemonJuice92 · 25/03/2024 20:55

Really not a fan - but that’s just because of associations I have with the name. Prefer Malachi that someone else suggested!

wafflesmgee · 25/03/2024 20:57

Sounds like a surname to me not a first name
I like malachi though, as this is a real name 😎

Moveoverdarlin · 25/03/2024 20:59

Don’t like it.

GuessThatGranny · 25/03/2024 20:59

Very American

FangsForTheMemory · 25/03/2024 21:02

Horrible. With so many lovely forenames in the world, why would you choose to call a baby a surname?

Daffodilsarentfluffy · 25/03/2024 21:03

I love it. No dc will mind the Home Alone connection imo.

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 25/03/2024 21:21

I immediately think of Rupert Campbell-Black’s horse.

ThePoshUns · 25/03/2024 21:22

The only one I know is in prison

Mischance · 25/03/2024 21:27

No.

Snap!
I don’t dislike the name but the two I know are both absolutely awful, so that does put me off personally.

ButtockUp · 25/03/2024 21:46

Nope.

IDontLoveTheWayYouLie · 25/03/2024 21:48

I went to school with a boy called Macauley. Also makes me think of Culkin. I don't hate it but I wouldn't use it.
