HelpRe: Talk me out of using Macaulay
in reply to a message by Jana46
“This is my labradoodle. This is my schnauzer. And this is Macaulay.” That’s the first thing I thought of too. That and Fry and Laurie always calling each other “m’colleague”.
Surnames as given names feel more dated with each passing year, especially Mac-names. It’s also so unwieldy. I honestly don’t think it works for any age. It’s too clunky and imposing for a baby name (and that’s coming from the mom of a Theodora), but it sounds too silly to be an adult name. Mac and Coll don’t appeal to me at all.
Sorry, I just can’t get behind this on any level.
