I have this baby, initially named [name_u]Michael[/name_u], but I don’t like the nns [name_m]Mike[/name_m] or [name_m]Mick[/name_m], so I want to change it. His older sister is [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f], and his middle name is [name_m]Steven[/name_m]. I’ve considered [name_m]Matthew[/name_m], and if I don’t find anything else that I like better that’s what I’ll call him. His mother is English and his father is American. [name_m]Born[/name_m] late 1950.
If you still like [name_u]Michael[/name_u], but don’t like the usual nicknames for it, then I suppose the simple solution is just don’t use the nicknames? Unless you really need one, in which case maybe [name_m]Kale[/name_m], [name_u]Micah[/name_u], or [name_m]Milo[/name_m] could work.
Here are some names that were popular in 1950:
[name_m]Gregory[/name_m]
[name_m]Roger[/name_m]
[name_m]Bruce[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
[name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]John[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Warren[/name_m]
[name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] was #28 in 1950, but [name_f]Claire[/name_f] was not in the top 200. [name_u]Michael[/name_u] was #2 and [name_m]Steven[/name_m] was #11, so I’m guessing that you’re looking for something very common in the era.
My suggestions:
[name_m]Ronald[/name_m] (#15)
[name_m]Kenneth[/name_m] (#16)
[name_m]Edward[/name_m] (#23)
[name_m]Jeffrey[/name_m] (#24)
[name_u]Terry[/name_u] (#29)
[name_m]Anthony[/name_m] (#30)
[name_u]Glenn[/name_u] (#68)
[name_m]Rodney[/name_m] (#71)
[name_m]Martin[/name_m] (#79)
[name_u]Curtis[/name_u] (#85)
[name_m]Victor[/name_m] (#106)
[name_m]Norman[/name_m] (#107)
