The question is in the title. What name out of these two would you prefer for a baby?

Michael, and I’d shorten it to Mikey.

Happyhippy99 · 15/09/2022 21:07

Michael. Beautiful name and timeless..

17caterpillars1mouse · 15/09/2022 21:09

I really like both. Zachary is much more popular though and with the popularity of Isaac too which is often shortened to Zak I would go with Michael.

I knew a 3 year old Michael a few years ago (he'd probably be 7 or 8 now) and he was adorable and made me see the name in a new light.

Another vote for Michael.

Love them both but would go for Zachary!

Another vote for Michael.

Michael

I like it more but also Zachary is getting quite popular whereas Micheal is v underused

ExecutiveStrategyCoordinator · 15/09/2022 21:29

Zachary.
Michael is so seventies/eighties.

lljkk · 15/09/2022 21:37

I have one & the other is nice, too <no help at all>.

Hohofortherobbers · 15/09/2022 21:39

Both, Michael Zachary, as long as your surname is fairly short I think this flows nicely as a first name, middle name

DramaAlpaca · 15/09/2022 23:07

Michael, definitely

KirstenBlest · 16/09/2022 09:14

Michael, definitely. Always liked it.
Zachary is nice but currently popular and has the Zac/Zach/Zak issue.

We have a Michael in the family and he is Michael, or a nn (not Mike/Mick but something different)

Lealea4 · 16/09/2022 11:09

I love them both but I would prefer Zachary

MintJulia · 16/09/2022 11:17

Mine's got both those names. You have great taste 😀d

Derrymum123 · 28/11/2022 21:48

Michael.

RuthW · 28/11/2022 21:53

Michael

RandomMusings7 · 28/11/2022 21:56

Zachary

Michael is a little boring and doesn't have the same ring to it

MrsCat1 · 28/11/2022 21:59

Michael. Lovely name.

Purplemagnolias · 29/11/2022 08:00

Michael

Zachary is starting to sound dated. And Zach sounds like Sack.
