It was on my list as we need a Russian name, but sadly clashes with our surname. Prefer Mikhail spelling.

Ah, we are Muslim! Thank you for your positive comment Smile

I think I have a cousin called Mikail (one of my few hundred cousins. Or maybe he's the DH of a cousin).

I really the name :)! I think I prefer Misha, but that's more of a nickname, isn't it...

Mikail2017 · 07/04/2017 14:45

Yes, I think Misha is a Russian nickname Smile

Reminds me of Mikhail Gorbachev. But it's a perfectly nice name.

ageingrunner · 07/04/2017 15:23

Gorbachev. As Mitzy said, it's a nice name though. And younger people than me (40s) won't remember the Russian pres.

Like it. It hasnt become as common as adam/daniyal/kamran/sara/zara/natasha/amelia. Can you tell i hear those names a lot?!

user1483387154 · 07/04/2017 15:25

This is the pronunciation of my uncles name, but here it is spelt Michael

goodpiemissedthechips · 07/04/2017 15:27

I don't mind it. It would be open to misspelling but that could be said of almost any non-Western name.

I really like Kiyan as a name, not that you asked Wink

Michael?

Tollygunge · 07/04/2017 21:29

Angelic 😊

FanDabbyFloozy · 07/04/2017 21:34

Not a fan because of the Russian-or-Asian confusion.

SoundLikeARightCharmer · 07/04/2017 21:48

I would spell it Mikaeel.

angelic! Wink
