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?

Maclean (muh-clane) is my favorite "Mac" name.

How about Macon.. that was the guys name in the movie "How to Deal" and I think that certainly could get the nn Mack!

Thanks for all the suggestions. After reading these, and considering a number of other opinions, here are my finalists for using the name Mack --

1. Use it on its own. Mack. Sure it sounds informal, but that isn't the end of the world.

2. Go the Max__ route, and name him Maxwell, nickname Mack.

3. Go the first-name, surname route, and use the name McHenry.

So, those are the 3 finalists: Mack, Maxwell, or McHenry. Any votes on those three?

Straight-up Mack. If Jack can stand on its own, so can Mack.

Right now, I'm leaning toward McHenry Lewis, with a nickname of Mack... how does that sound?

From someone who likes Mack and is considering McNeil (dh's first name is Neil) Hubbard (family name), I get it and love it! Sounds fabulous.
