The point of last night's CSI:NY was that there were several characters who went by the name Mac. The character names that the writers managed to come up with:

MacDonald
Mackiyo
Macabee
Machiavelli
MacQuinn

MacKendra (the only girl)

WDYT? Any of them actually make a nice first name?

Why would anyone name their kid Machiavelli? He was kind of a dick.

Not really... he just sort of said the ends justify the means which some people could argue is completely valid.

Yeah, I dunno, maybe he wasn't a dick. I didn't know him obviously, haha. I guess what I should have said was that generally his name carries negative connotations, regardless of the things he actually said. Ruthless pursuit of power and whatnot, the things that first come to mind for most people when they hear Machiavelli, things you probably wouldn't want people thinking of when they think of your kid. :)

my issue with it would be that it's a last name.
I get that all that Mac&co were originally last names, but he was italian and italians don't use last names as first names, so it irks me lol

Sounds like trying to hard, whoever wrote the names for the show!
