    This is my sentiments exactly. It's a bit unclear, because you're spelling it one way but saying it slightly off. Which I've seen before as different cultures pronounce names differently, nothing wrong with that. Just be prepared to correct it for people. For what it's worth if I were going with this name I would spell it Cormac too. If I see Cormick I automatically think McCormick spices and seasoning.

    We named our son Cormac (pn Cor-Mick) so obviously I love it but you do get a variation of pronunciations so we typically call him Mac to keep it simple. That said, about 90% of people do pronounce it "right" and only rarely do we have someone say "Core-Mack". Its tough because they said the Irish pronounce with the hard Mac sound as well but with accents and everything, just go with what you like and own it.

    I would also assume that it was core-mack, but maybe it all depends where you live? From the way its spelt I think most people will assume its core-mack unless maybe they have met a cormac before that has pronounced it core-mick. I do like the name cormac though when its pronounced core-mack.

    This.

    I don't find Cormac anymore hard to pronounce than Connor, Kevin or Sean. Of the Irish names, I like this the best. I like that it can be shortened to Mac.

    I am also very torn about naming my little boy due in May a very alliterative/cadence name. I hesitate to do it, but when I reject our go to name I just come up with other alliterative names. I guess it is personal taste. I like your name choice, but obviously I might be biased!
