Both were in my class in the eighties. But I do quite like Mikey.

I like them both but I would go for Michael.

Matthew, it’s solid and timeless and works across all age ranges.

Matthew all the way….

Oblahdeeoblahdoe · 13/04/2023 22:42

Confused

as in the ancient name Michael I'd imagine.

Michael. A few nn options too! Mick, Mike, Mickey or Mikey. Michael itself is lovely and classic and I wouldn’t shorten it but it’s likely inevitable that it will be so it’s nice to have several options

Michael is by far more handsome than Matthew.
Michael is less common

Michael but I like both.

Just as long as your surname is not Hunt!

Both are lovely names and not heard as much these days
