Mack reminds me a lot of the hip-hop artist Mac Miller who died in 2018. He was an amazing artist, and so is his name, which is actually Mac/Malcom. I really like his music and this name. :)
In 2018, 68 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Mack* who is registered male with the Social Security Administration. It is the 1, 365th most common male first name for living U.S. citizens. *as a first name, not a nickname.

My name is MacKenna, and I get called Mack as a nickname. Before you go all crazy, I know it's a traditionally male's name. But so what? Names don't have genders unless we assign one to them. I personally don't identify as fully male or female, so I like exploring unisex names. Mack (or Max, as I prefer) both seem to fit me well.

The variant "Mac" can be a nickname to many names beginning with Mac-, including MacAlister, MacArthur, and MacKenzie.
I think it makes a nice nickname a for a boy named Mackenzie or McKinley, both of which are MALE names.

Mack means "gas station" in Swedish. It was originally an acronym made up of the initial letters in the surnames of four men who manufactured pumps for gas stations: Mathiasson, Andersson, Collin and Key.
I think this is a good name. The fact that it rhymes with slack etc hasn't stopped thousands from calling their sons Jack. I think Mack is a useful alternative to Jack which is lovely but now far too common.
Sounds more like a name for a dog to me. A child would get teased far too much for the name Mack, it rhymes with so many things (Smack, Sack, Whack, etc). Also, it sounds like Big Mac and Macintosh. It's a strong, handsome name but just too easily teased.
"Mack" is obviously spelled "Mac" in Gaelic. And just think of the MacKintosh "Mac" computers; people would be so surprised to find that they had sons and never knew it!
