[Opinions] Mack, Mick, and Mitch
So I've been liking these names a lot lately. Just the short bluntness of the names appeal to me. Though I guess Mack could be called Big Mac and MacDonald etc. and Mick would get Mickey Mouse, but I just like the sound of them. But they sound too short on their own.
I'm not so much a fan of Mitch as I am of Mitchell, but I don't hate it.
But just wondering what your opinions were on these. I feel like similar names like Jack, Max, and Zach are all too popular. Then again, maybe Mack would get confused for one of these similar names. But just wondering what you thought of these names and if you had any longer names you could use to get Mack or Mick as nicknames. I don't like Michael cause I have horrible associations with the name and could never use it. Mack...I kind of like Mackenzie, but I know it's popular and it's now and trendy girls name. Though I did know a girl at a summer camp I watched named Mackenzie that went by Mackie which was adorable and I kind of like...so idk.
I feel like some names I like in theory but when I say them outloud, like Mackenzie or Lennon, they just sound dumb. Even hearing someone being called Jack in class the other day, turned me off to it. Idk..that's kind of what Mackenzie is like for me. I like it in theory, but I'm not sure if I could really use it. But anyway...longer name ideas for Mack or Mick? ~Laurasaurus

What about Mack as a nn for Maximilian or Mitch as a nn for Mischa? It does seem tough to make Mitch a nn for anything other than Mitchell. I guess you could go with something like Michigan, Michelin, Michener (if you like the writer) or Michelob. Those are cheesy, I know, but I'm just throwing stuff out there...

I usually hate Michael. But Michael nn Mick is awesome to me - so unexpected and retro. I hope you can be convinced of that. There are so very many Michaels in the world... I hope one day you will get over bad associations. There's also Mikhail, if you want to dip into the pool of Russian names.I also really like John nn Jack, incidentally.Mack is also pretty neat. I'd spell it Mac, though, because Mack seems too in-your-face-Hallo-I-am-a-Mack-truck. I also like Malcolm a lot lately, and Malcolm nn Mac works quite well. Let's see. I like Cormac a lot, I think it's very sharp. Martin nn Mick or Mac works. Any of the Max- names works, but I think that's pretty contrived. Joachim could be Mac? Lachlan, maybe? Macario, which I think is really neat. Malachi, definitely. Malachi nn Mac or Mack gmv.I don't like Mitch or Mitchell much. (Incidentally, Mitchell = Michael, etymologically.)Mick. Let's see. Dominic? Amalric? Emmerich?

I love Mick and Mitch. A few guys I work with are Michael's, but they go by Mick. I suppose it could be a NN for Dominic as well.Mitchell is about it for Mitch. But I think it's a great name.

I know a little boy called Mack. So I think it is fine on it's own.I can only think of Michael as a nn for Mick. As you don't like Michael maybe different forms of Michael would be better.
For example:Meical
Michiel
Miguel - although it might be a bit strange to hav ethe nn Mick for this though.
Mikaere
