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?

I've only ever heard it used as a nickname.

OP it’s nickname for Mackenzie, or possible Cormac.

If that is your child’s full name, people will think you have named them after a coat.

Great name. Strong, cool, love it.

I like it. Could be short for Mackenzie. Or maybe malachie.

There is a boy called Mac at my dds nursery. I think it’s ok but it gets mistaken for max all the time.
i love it as a nn for Cormac

Too much like Muck

Even with Lee, it's an abbreviation of his actual surname that sounds snappier for showbiz purposes.

I would tend to view it as an informal nickname for somebody with the surname MacKenzie, MacDonald or similar. Like musician John Osbourne is known as Ozzy, because of his surname; or like sports presenter Chris Kamara is known as Kammy.

No, it sounds like you named him when you were drunk or something.

But short for Cormac yes

Mac or Mack can be a nickname for someone with a name such as Malcolm or Magnus, McKenzie or Macklem, or McKenna.

It's also a standalone name.

My DF is known as Mac, though in his case it's the first letters of his first, middle, and last name, that spell out MAC.
So for me I quite like it @saltysealion

Mac and Cheese
Mac trucks
Mac the knife
Apple Mac
Mac cosmetics

No, not in good company here. Keep thinking.

I know 2 Mack’s, both nicknames, one for Mackie and the other Mackenzie.
we are in Scotland though so its not that uncommon here

🎶Return of the ...

Sorry Op Mack is Lightening McQueens truck. And all the wee boys in his class will know it.

Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back?

Great name. I know a 17y old Mack and he's really sweet. He had never heard of Mack the Knife of course, because he's not in his fifties ...

Lauren Laverne (radio DJ) has a son called Mack.

Great name for a penguin.

Awful.. sounds like a coat

Big Mac?

Maximilian is ok and shortened to max. Mack is too in your face like slam, pow. There’s nothing soft about it. But you do what you like. Maybe your little Mack will be a very gentle soul. I get that you like what you like.

Love this name. Short and strong

Google the character Mrs Mack from the 1980's/1990's soap 'Take the high road' and you'll soon change your mind!

My friend calls her dh Mac as he has a surname like McDonald etc and l think it sounds lovely and friendly but not as the only name to give a child.

Isn’t Mack usually a nickname for someone whose surname starts with Mc or Mac?

I know a Malachi who goes by Mack.

I wouldn't use it as anything but a nickname.

Only as a nickname.
