This is one of the options we have for DC3 if a boy, but were wondering if it would be a bit much in England with DH's very Spanish (and v. cool!) surname. What do you think?

I really like it but suspect some muppets would make San Miguel lager references.

I like it and hadn't thought of lager. Fine with a Spanish surname too.

Thanks for the feedback, San Miguel lager hadn't occurred to me!

I like it, I don't think the larger's an obvious association :)

I like Miguel.

(Have never heard of a san miguel beer..Confused, so wouldn't worry about that association)

Its nice but very common in Spain (if your dh is spanish I guess to travel to Spain often?)

Ridiculous in England and not cool in Spain. Not a goer for me. Sorry.

I know of one, and where we are it seems to be mostly pronounced Miggle.. he tends to use a nickname now. Grin maybe depends on the area you are in?
