[Opinions] Re: Mactavish?
in reply to a message by ElleMichelle
Ah, I'm very sorry! I saw you said Thompson "comes from MacTavish" and I jumped to conclusions.
I didn't mean to be rude - I meant to express frustration at the idea that you didn't feel it was okay to use whatever surname suited you regardless of where you got it. But I apparently read that into what you were saying, all by myself. As you may have guessed, I have my own issues about guilt and surnames-as-first-names!
No, I don't think it's redundant. I do, however, still think it's a tad artificial. Then again, if you want to call him Mack, it's the best choice for a Mac- full name.

It's okay. Thanks for taking the time to read my response and respond accordingly yourself. I hope it makes more sense now; I could have explained things better in my first post, too. I do appreciate candor, which I'm sure now was all you were trying to be.
