Re: Mac or Michael
in reply to a message by vigdis
I don't like Mac at all, except as an occasional nn. I actually see it as more dated than trendy... Max would have a trendy sound, but the only Mac's I've known have been a) an old horse, b) an old ferrier and c) a little girl whose full name was Mackenzie and only occasionaly went by Mac. I guess I picture Mac on an old farmer or something, but Max on a little kid. Eithwe way, I like Michael Allan. Mac (or Mak?) would be okay as a nn, but I don't like it that much. (I'd much prefer Mak, actually. It looks stranger, but it also gets rid of the annoying associations I have with Mac. It might make it more trendy-looking though.)
