What do you think of the name Michael? Siblings are Emma, Grace, Julia, Jakob, Matthew and Andrew. I wanted to name the baby Peter but my husband now wants his name to be Michael! Possible middle name ideas would be great! Thank you

Lovely name.

I went to school with several Michaels. Normally I am against 70s/80s names, but Michael is a great name - love it.

Absolutely all of the shortenings are completely dreadful though.

Not keen at all, very boring name.

GinGeum · 16/09/2017 11:15

I'm slightly biased as it's DP's name, but I really like it. DP doesn't shorten his at all, he is always Michael.

Great name

StylishDuck · 16/09/2017 10:35

It's my DH's name and I've always liked it. A good strong name that everyone will recognise. Though I agree with PP that you'll occasionally have to put up with people writing Micheal (though that annoys me more than DH!)

AmysTiara · 16/09/2017 10:35

I think it's really dull sorry. Mick, Mike, Mikey are all awful.

EsmeeMerlin · 16/09/2017 10:33

I have a Michael and have always loved it.

Annabelle4 · 16/09/2017 10:31

I adore all your names OP.
One of my DC has the same as one of yours, but I'm not saying which one Wink

Michael is a great name.

GinisLife · 16/09/2017 10:27

My ex husband was Michael and he's a twat so I'm negatively biased 😂😂 (I do like the name on anyone else though). Nice shortened to Mikey

Great name! Archangel Michael. Fab.

Bouncingbelle · 15/09/2017 00:12

One of my favourite names. Great choice! Peter always seems a bit 'wet' to me as a first name but would make a good middle name. :)

joolspoon · 14/09/2017 22:23

Love it!

MikeUniformMike · 14/09/2017 22:09

Love it. All the suggested middle names are good. I also really like Peter, which would be a better choice if your surname is Hunt.

It's a lovely name.
Michael Peter.

StereophonicallyChallenged · 13/09/2017 16:56

It's a 'family' name here so ds has it as his middle name. I wanted it as his first name but then his name would've been a famous name (think Jackson - but not actually Jackson iyswim Grin)

There are currently 4 generations in my family who have the name Michael as first/middle names so definitely timeless Smile

Mum2lots · 13/09/2017 16:44

I love it xxx I also have a grace and Jacob xxx my Michael is Michael John

Germgirl · 13/09/2017 16:37

It's my dads name. I like it. It's timeless.
Just don't give him the second name Norman like my dad has!

PeaceAndLove1 · 13/09/2017 16:24

Michael is a fine name.
