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

Love it!

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. :)

Great name! Archangel Michael. Fab.

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

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.

I have a Michael and have always loved it.

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

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!)

Great 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.

Not keen at all, very boring name.

My brother is Michael Ian.

BuzzKillington · 16/09/2017 19:55

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.

Lovely name.
