What do you think of the name Mack?

[saltysealion]

I haven’t really heard of it before the tv show Molly and Mack, is it a name on its own? I like it but don’t want to be too out there. Just thought it might make a change from Jack. Or no?

No.

It’s a nickname IMO

Jack is lovely ❤️.

It's my cat's name! I would normally associate it with a nickname rather than a christened name but if you like it go for it.

You’d need a robot sidekick called Cheese

I really like it! It’s a bit different but easy to say & spell

Makes me think of the big American truck.

As a surname as in “Lee”, or a first name as in “the knife”?

Honestly it sounds like you’re saying Mick in a kiwi accent

I know a lovely dog called Mack.

No

Makes me think of Mack the Knife (a murderer).

I had a sweet student called Mack and knew a nice man at uni called Mackenzie. I also grew up with an elderly friend of my dad's who was a bit of a grandpa figure as we were estranged from my dad's family - he was lovely and called Mac so it has very good associations for me.

Mac in Gaelic means “son of”

Defo no OP , go again I think

I think Jack is better

I heard it at a baby group maybe 2 years ago and thought it was a cool name 😊

Love it. Was v nearly our DS’s name but we passed in the end as we envisioned lots of McDonalds nicknames eg McChicken etc at school.

DS has a very “standard” old school name. TBH I don’t regret our decision. I can’t think of him as anything other than the name he has now.

In the end, we simply thought that it was important for him to have a name that didn’t define him/that wouldn’t give others preconceived ideas/didn’t open the door to endless potentially negative riffs.

Basically a name that was a gift not a sentence.

I think of it as more of a nickname tbh!

I’d go either Max or Jack

My uncles chocolate Labrador was called Mack. Lovely dog.

I like it if it's a nickname and you put Mackenzie on the birth certificate.

Awful

Would you consider Cormac with Mac as a NN?

....the Knife!

Mack is a great name!
