Is Big Mac really Big or just Mac?

Just rewatching season 6 and this time I noticed while distracting the Rich's he say's "So from that moment on I took to referring to myself as Big or Large or . . . " Which given other comments about pony names got me wondering. Is his name Big Mac or just Mac with the Big being a nickname he decided on for himself that caught on because of his size?

His full name is McIntosh. Big is mostly a nickname as is Mac. Of course on occasion they spell his name Macintosh, which adds to some confusion. Guy has so many name variants. :P

Ah I see. Pony names do like to confuse us this one has two names that one has one that one has one but two nicknames. Of course I understand why Spoiled Milk became Spoiled Rich pretty much any other second name would be an improvement. Unlike if the Dash/Quibble shippers had their way in which case she would not want to be known as Rainbow Pants.

Except he himself say's that he started calling himself big. I did not know that Big Mac is an apple as well as a burger imitator.

Oh yeah, his name is actually McIntosh as the apple's actual name. But must have been named Big Macintosh by his parents when he was born bigger than other ponies.

Sorry my point was in where the apple lies he say's he's the one who added "Big or Large or . . ." to his name not another pony. I'm not disputing the Macintosh part just that any other pony was responsible for the Big part of his name. He may well be know as Big Mac like the apple but the Mac came from his parents while the Big came from him (before the series started) if you see what I mean?

I suspect he was simply named Macintosh, same as his cousin is simply Braeburn. As an infant they would hardly have been able to tell he'd grow extraordinarily large, so I think "Big" came later as a nickname.
