Thought it was hideous and weird as a child, (in the 60s - all Kathy/Cindy/Mary Lee/Debbie/Patty etc.) I gave myself nicknames as an adolescent, eventually grew to love it and feel It'suits me very well indeed. I was named for a great-aunt and it is pronounced "like Delia or Celia."

Have a son named MacArthur, but goes by Mac. While it is not the most popular name, Mac just fits the boy perfectly.

We named our son Mackenzie and he's 14 now and still likes his name. It hasn't been a problem; anyone can look up the name and see that it is indeed a male name. Definitely don't like Mac- names for girls..seems odd. Great for boys :)

We named our son Mac, and love it. I think it is a strong and handsome name. Yes, some people were not sure about it at first, but most said they loved it. I like it because it Isn't a trendy name too. He will most likely be the only one in his class to share his name. Mac is short and sweet! Great name!!

We named our son "Seth" in 1991. I love it. It is really a unique name, altho i've noticed it has become more popular as time goes by. It goes good with our last name which is a long one.
