User Comments about the name Michael
Comment left Jun 26, 2008: "I my bf's name is Michael. A lot of people call him Mikey. I think its ok for the kids to call him uncle Mikey, but with adults, it seems also demeaning, like you never grow up. He also gets upset when he introduces himself as Michael and strangers feel that it is ok to call him Mike. He feels that it rude. I have always called him Michael." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left May 07, 2008: "when people ask me if I go by Mike or Michael I usually opt for the less formal. It's been my experence that my friends and coworkers even after learning my preferance still choose to call me Michael. I know lots of Mikes or Michaels and once in a while 2 or 3 heads turn when called so what! It's a spiritual name and my parents gave it to me, Thanks Mom and Dad!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 11, 2008: "Solid name, easy to pronounce; and, even if there Are a number of Michael's in the world, every Michael Is different. It is a Spiritual name...what more could one want then a name to aspire to?" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 28, 2008: "People with this name feel insignificant and bland. It's a beautiful sounding name, but WAY too common. My boyfriend, Michael wants to legally change his name because he says that "being named Michael is almost like not having a name at all since so many people have it." It's like being named "boy" he says. Everywhere he goes there is a Michael. I feel so bad for him sometimes." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 03, 2008: "i know like 50 Michaels and theyre all so different the name has lost its individuality...if not for that it would be perfect! :)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Nov 10, 2007: "Michael is the name of the love of my life...I met him 18 years ago at my first Sigma Chi Fraternity party, I was a Chi Omega Pledge. Michael is now my darling husband..." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 11, 2007: "It's one of the most pleasant sounding names I know of. It certainly creates difficulties though. If you're a Michael, you'll hear your name called out all the time, turn your head, and realize, oh, it's another Michael. Also, going to school was awkward, with an average of 3 of us in each class through the 80's and 90's." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 07, 2007: "My name is Michael, it's far too popular, but for good reason." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 27, 2007: "My opinion? Michael is such a common name, I mean, Everyone knows a Mike.
Except me. I haven't knew a Mike or Michael since school. Michael is just the type of name you'd expect a good kinda guy to have. Someone you want around in emergencies.
Anyway, I had no luck finding a friend called Mike. So I changed my name legally to Michael." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 20, 2007: "My sons name is Michael. I get comments all the time about it being spelled wrong. It really drives me crazy. Appearantly it seems that more of them were spelled this way that the more traditional "micheal" way time frame he was born. Interesting." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 02, 2007: "I named my son Michael because I always wanted a Mikey, but for some reason I cant stand the name Mike which is inevitably what he will be called when he is older haha. Hopefully people will still call him Michael or Mick. He looks just like Mick Jagger as a child too how funny is that!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 05, 2007: "We have 4 employees in our Chicago branch office. They are ALL named Michael! Make's it very confusing." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 04, 2007: "michael is my brothers name and i no he loves it so he would never change it and i no that it is clinically impossible too so yeah!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 30, 2007: "people always call me michelle just the way i spell my name is Micheal" (Report as inappropriate)
