[Opinions] Re: Talk me out of using Macaulay
You really want to be talked out of it?
The worst thing I can think of is that it sounds like "my Collie." It would make THE BEST name for a Collie dog.
It's like Mackenzie, it has that 90s/00s "M'K__" trendy sound. But it's less recognizable as a surname than Mackenzie, and seems less robust and more cutesy (maybe because I picture Culkin as a wimpy looking child. Even though he is like forty now).
- I'm going to pick up Macaulay and go to lunch ...
- Oh! I didn't know you have a dog! Collies are so pretty! What's its name?I don't think it's really any worse than Mackenzie for a boy right now. It's better than McKinley. I would not pity your son if you named him Macaulay. I just don't personally like the sound of it.Congratulations and best wishes- mirfak

Thanks Mirfak. Yours is a name I recognise from a long time ago on here and I am honoured that you replied and will take your input seriously! I think you are even more into names than I am and that is a lot! My mum is getting a collie puppy and that is exactly her argument against it actually! Mirfak I have two kids Alex and Sylvie so if you think of a good little brother name for them let me know. I have only had 30+ years to think of something and at 6 months til his birth I am suddenly stumped! Thanks
