Opinions on these names?

For boys: Michael
Really not sure on a middle name.

For a girl: either Katherine or Elizabeth. Maybe Katherine as a first name and Elizabeth as a middle.

I know some people might find these names a bit boring and old-fashioned?

They are all very nice names. I especially like Mike or Mick as nicknames.

Classic names that have stood the test of time.

I like them all. Michael wouldn’t be my choice because I’m not keen on the usual nicknames, but it is nice. I love Elizabeth.

Micheal feels so fresh these days. I like quite uncommon names but it was on my list for if we'd have had boys. Love mick/micky and Mike/Mikey too.

I like Katherine but I'm such a fan of Katie/Katy as a stand alone name too. There won't be many in your child's school, but it's known and won't raise eyebrows. And it's adorable for a little girl but works well for a woman too.

I love Michael, Katharine and Elizabeth too. Not overly keen on Mary but it’s a fine name also.

It’s not often you meet a baby Michael these days! I’m not very keen on Michael but Katherine and Elizabeth are lovely names.

Love them all, particularly Michael and Mary. Although kitty as someone said above is gorgeous.

Good solid names.

I don't love Michael but there's nothing wrong with it.

Katherine is nice, I like Kitty for day to day use.

Love Elizabeth and great nn options.

Not keen on Mary.

I also like Mary a lot but I don't think this will be popular.
