Michael or Angelo?

[Ohjoybacktowork]

Opinions please for a baby boy!

(we are not originally from the UK - hence the Angelo proposal)

Do you live in the UK? If so, I think Angelo could be a pretty hard name to live with.

I like Angelo!

There aren’t many young Michaels around - they’re mainly aged 30+ I would say, so maybe not ready for a revival yet.

I think either nice but if you choose Micheal I personally wouldn't choose Angelo as a middle name 😊

Or you can go the full Monty and have a little Michelangelo.

I would choose Angelo. It’s not a common British name but I would say most people have heard of it and can pronounce it so wouldn’t find it odd, especially for someone originally from elsewhere.

Michael is a perfectly nice name but does feel a little bit like it belongs to someone 30+

I taught a lovely boy called Angelo. None of the kids batted an eyelid. They are so used to footballers with unusual names they just take it in their stride. He will probably be called Ang by his mates anyway.

Michael is a really nice name, although it's not been popular for a while. Time for a comeback.

Angelo is OK, but a bit too 'angel-y', a lot to live up to!

Angelo

Fabulous name!

Hopefully there aren't too many people around
a) old enough to remember
&
b) daft enough to start singing
the Brotherhood of Man song of that name (not Michael) when you announce it.

definitely prefer Michael

Just reminds me of the Ninja Turtles.

I like both, but don't really and shortening of Mike.

Michael much better than Angelo

Go the whole hog and call him Michelangelo

You'd need to have the hairstyles to go with the name

Both of them feel a bit dated to me. What about Matteo?

Michelangelo and call him Michael for short :)
