Need a good formal version for Mack

OK. I love the name Mack. It is so confident, relaxed and friendly. But I'm also not a fan of giving a child a nickname name (even though I had a great-grandfather who was given Mack as a full name). Problem is, I don't like the name Macauley, I'm not wild about the name Cormac (trying to stay away from the whole Irish name trend), and I don't like all the other Mackenzie, McKinley... names either. Can Mack be used on its own? Is there some other full name I'm not considering?

Could you name him Michael or Malcolm and call him Mack?

I've long liked Mac/Mack as well. Here's something maybe you haven't considered yet: Do any of your husband's names lend themselves to mack-izing? If we ever use Mack, we'll likely combine it with dh's first name -- Mac + Neil = McNeil -- for the formal name, using Mac as a nn. What do you think?

Malcolm is my favorite suggestion to get Mack--very handsome, very distinguished.

My grandfather's given name is Matthew Cameron, but he's always been called Mack.
