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 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 Jun 10, 2007: "my name is michael and i am amazing the really works for me. last year i almost changed it to bleeagragrgfv (pronounced as if you were throwing up) but i decided against it because i am so amazing." (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)
