Apologies - I assumed he'd passed on but I'm glad to read he's v much with you.

Michael is a lovely name and a classic. I'd go for that and if you want to give him a nickname see what you like after you have your hypothetical son!

The Godfather is my favourite film and for that reason I always hear the name Michael in my head spoken with a New York accent. I think Michael Corleone is referred to in the family as Mikey.

Thank you for the replies ladies

I am a very lucky girl DGD is still here with us alive and kicking, he was born Micheal but has always been Mick, never Michael never Micky, always Mick. ISWYM about it getting shortened. Mick suits my grandad but not a fan of the name and would hate people shorting it. Would Michael be better with Micky as a nickname? Or could anyone suggest any variations? My grandad has done so much for me and would love to pay a tribute to him

Fine when the dc is young and a ''child' but once older surely it'll just become Mick which is quite different IMO.

Was your dear GD actually called Micky or was he Mick/Michael and you're wanting to remember him by using a similar name?

I like Michael but hate Micky. Or Mick.
