I think that it sounds a bit more feminine than masculine… What about [name]Cormac[/name]?
My husband has a childhood friend named [name]Corliss[/name]…who is a guy. =)
I actually really like it. It’s a fresh alternative to [name]Cory[/name], [name]Corbin[/name], [name]Cordell[/name], etc…
That’s why it sounds like a boys name to me, it seems to fit right in with all the variations on cory. There’s also [name]Corliss[/name] [name]Lamont[/name], who was male.
I don’t think it’s so feminine to prompt teasing or anything like that. It sounds great with our last name, which is phonetically mcmann
