I wouldn't be able to take a stab at it without knowing the language it's from, but my first though was Mee-kyle.

Mik-kyle
Or
Mik-i-el
or

I don't hate it though I would fined it weird on a white British person, I think

I've seen it spelt Mikhail more often, but it's not hard to figure out.

I don't like it at all, I'm afraid. If it fits his family heritage, that's fine, but otherwise I'd say stick with Michael.
