Mickey as a nickname for a girl

[Empirebiscuits]

What do you think?

Is it cute? Or a bit daft?

Any other ideas for a short name beginning with M? We’ve chosen Morvern which doesn’t lend itself to shortenings. It would be nice to have a cute name that we could call her by as well as her full name.

Awful! 😨

I would see what pet names evolve once you get to know her rather than choosing something not related to her actual name in advance.

Mo?

How about Michaela Mickey for short

I like it better than Morvern, tbh.

Is go michelle and mickey / micki as a nn.

You know what Mickey is a euphemism for, right?

Michaela, Michelle, Michalina...all fine and you can use Mickey. Mickey by itself is stupid.

I like a boyish nickname for a girl. We have a Harrie (harriet) and it really suits her, so I like Mickey. I like Michaela as a full name for it.

I think Mickey is cute, so I'm surprised at the hate it's getting! But what about Mo, Moo or Moo-Moo as nicknames? Is it a nickname in the family, or one you'd expect her to use out and about (eg at school): in which case Moo-Moo probably isn't what you want!

Horrible name.

So long as you would be happy to shorten a boy’s name like Samuel to Susie. Or Barnaby to Betty.

My late-aunt was Mickey, for Michaela. I love it, both long and short.

Morvern is an interesting name, I like it. Mickey’s not a ‘natural’ nn, but she’s your daughter, you can nickname her what you like!

My friend has a Megan, but she’s only known as Mo. That’s how she introduces hersel. Not much difference in the comparison.

Moo moo . This is a child the op is naming, not a teddy bear.

It's fine as a nickname! Morven is lovely.

Mickey is no different to Teddy, Evie or any of the other current cutesy nicknames.

I knew a girl called mickey at secondary. It was short for Michaela. Sounds fine to me

It's a nickname @Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar, imho Moo-Moo is a perfectly fine family nickname/pet name. Unless you are thinking a nickname is for external usage, which as I pointed out would make a childish one less suitable. OK? Calm down. Sheesh.

In some English speaking countries, a Mickey is a nickname for ladyparts

Jaysus in this English speaking country, a mickey is a penis. Well known slang here. Bit different to moo moo or ickle preshus.

bigmickey.ie
Means penis here, see logo above!

I think Mickey is a cute nickname for a girl!!

Awful for boy or girl.

People will assume she's male because of Mickey Mouse and Mick Jagger and other men called Mick.

The phrases "taking the mickey" and "mickey mouse" would put me off.

I have never come across a little girl called Mickey but I did know a woman called Michelle who was always known as Mickey. Simply because of my memory of her I would say it was a lovely name.

I highly recommend it :)

Never been called a man or genitals or a mouse, although obviously mickey can be any of those things as well
