Ways to honour Michael John

I’m currently pregnant with twins and if I have a DS I am floating around the idea of naming him after my late grandfather who meant to much to me. His name was Michael John and I’m not sure how best to honour it. Me and DP both don’t like the name Michael or John because we feel they are a bit dated and don’t go with our other DC Winnie and Buzz. We both don’t think Micky is usable due to the mouse association and we can’t think of another way to honour him
any help would be appreciated

‘Michael Jaxon’ 😂😂😂😂

you don’t like his names, so honour him some other way. Plant a tree.

‘Michael Jaxon’ - now that does have a ring to it…

and, his nickname could be ‘Jaxie’

Jonnie is one of my favourite names.

Are you talking about dogs? Winston and Baxter are dogs?

@littlemousebigcheese No Winston and Baxter are very much my DC not dogs….
They were both names on DP side of the family so for another child we want to use my own family names

My grandfather never went by Michael even though it was his given name it was always mick so I probably wouldn’t use Michael and I’m sure it would turn a few heads if I named my DC mick on its own - we are considering Micah though

If we have a DD we are going to call her Josephine NN Effie
