Variations of Michael?

[Tkoko]

What variants/nicknames/similar names for Michael do you know? Michele,Mike….?
thanks

Mika. Mick. Mickey.
But Michael is lovely.

Michael is my father's name. My brothers middle name and my partners name. My dad is Mike. My partner is Mick. Its a beautiful name. Absolutely beautiful

I’ve never understood why Cal isn’t used more often as a nickname for Michael (especially as in some accents Michael sounds very close to “My Cal” ). After all Xander is used for Alexander, Liam for William, Ward for Edward, Topher for Christopher…

I think Cal is much nicer than dated Mike, and Misha can sound a bit feminine, Mickey a bit cute, Mick a bit harsh - for me the only nice nickname for lovely, timeless Michael is Cal or maybe trendy Mika.

Mika, although I think this might perhaps also be used as a girls' name? (Maybe not - we know several male teens and young adults called Mika from time abroad). Worth checking if that matters to you either way.

Mikey, but I do love the name Michael

Micah

Mitch? Isn’t that short for Michael too?

Michael, mikael, mikhail? Shortened in the uk to Mike, Mikey, Mitch.
I always see Michele as a girls name because Michelle was a v popular girls name for my generation in the UK. I know Michele is a French version of Michael but I think girls name first in my head.

I like Michael TBH

Could you not use that with a different nn (if you’re trying to differentiate with someone already around?

One of my favourite names.

Common nn Mick, Mike, Mikey, Micky. I know one youngster called Mikey.

Don’t shorten its

Michaela is lovely (if you are considering girls names0

Mischa
