Makayla's+History+of+a+name

Makayla Rose Zimmerman, yep that's my name. But what here's my question: How do you get "Mak" out of makayla? As you might of guessed my nick-name is Mak and guess what? I love it. I love it because it's unique, as far as I know no other girl has it. The bad side is that when I was younger my brothers and sisters would always say stuff like, "Hey Big-mak," ( Big- mak is a sandwich from Mc-Donalds) or stuff like, "Hey Mak-and-cheese go make us some Mak-and-chese." I know they are chessy jokes and everything but I tried the Big-mak at Mc-Donalds and they weren't that good so being called that is a little offending. When I got older I started to like my nick-name even more because in sports its so much easier for my team-mates to call out, "Mak" rather than Makayla. Mak is what i go by now, with my friends and family. One time my friend Morgan Lavigne was texting her guy friend and was telling him about me and she simply put, "Mak," and what her replied was, " Morgan i didnt know you had a boy-friend," I started to burst out laughing and then just took a picture of my-self and said, " Do i look like a boy?" He didnt say anything for a while but what he did say was, "Oh." Yes my nick-name sounds like a boys and sadly im proud of that.
