Names that start with M

I am looking for names that start with M to honor my brother [name_u]Michael[/name_u].

I personally love names of all categories and types, I am pretty open.

Names both hubby and I like: [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]

Other names I also love:
[name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]
[name_u]Hunter[/name_u]
[name_u]Owen[/name_u]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Cole[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Harry[/name_m]

Hubby specifically dislikes the long O sound, so [name_m]Milo[/name_m] unfortunately doesn’t work. He has a hard time feeling like any name is"good enough" and has a hard time pouring over lists himself, so take the names he likes listed above with a grain of salt. His primary concern is not wanting a name so out there that there will be teasing.

[name_u]Micah[/name_u] came to mind, has that become more for girls than unisex nowadays?

Our last name starts with F, is two syllables, and ends in -er. Let’s say it is [name_m]Fischer[/name_m], if getting a sense of flow helps.

[name_f]TIA[/name_f] as always!

I think [name_u]Micah[/name_u] is still solidly a boys’ name. It might be being used for girls at some level, but I think it is still much more popular for boys and the fact that this is a traditional biblical name has helped it stay a boys’ name. More M name ideas:

[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Matthias[/name_m]
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m]
[name_m]Marshall[/name_m]
[name_m]Marsden[/name_m]
[name_m]Maverick[/name_m]
[name_m]Montgomery[/name_m]
[name_u]Murray[/name_u]
Maxwell
Maximilian

I think [name_u]Micah[/name_u] still leans on the masculine side. Totally useable in my opinion. Others to consider:

[name_m]Malachi[/name_m]
[name_u]Mason[/name_u]
[name_m]Maverick[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxim[/name_m]
[name_m]Merrick[/name_m]
[name_u]Merritt[/name_u]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_m]Mikhail[/name_m]

Our [name_u]Baby[/name_u] [name_m]Namer[/name_m] is a great website to see how often a name is used and for which gender.

[name_m]Matthias[/name_m], [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]: gift of God
[name_m]Mitchell[/name_m], [name_u]Micah[/name_u] and [name_m]Micaiah[/name_m] are other forms of the name [name_u]Michael[/name_u] and also means who is like God.

I think [name_u]Micah[/name_u] is definitely on the boys side and, being a form of [name_u]Michael[/name_u], a great way to honour your brother of this name.

[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] (or just [name_u]Max[/name_u])
[name_m]Marcus[/name_m]
[name_m]Marco[/name_m]
[name_m]Miguel[/name_m]

Or since [name_u]Michael[/name_u] is the name of the Archangel, you could go with the only other named (good) angel: [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
