Nicknames for Michael

hi berries!

i’m searching for a nickname for michael that feels warm.

the name has a family connection for my husband and i, but the name itself is not our favorite.

we’re looking for nickname options should we choose to use it.

thank you for your help xx

[name_u]Mickey[/name_u] and [name_m]Mick[/name_m] come to mind for vintage!

[name_u]Mickey[/name_u] and [name_m]Mick[/name_m] are great ideas!

[name_m]Mikey[/name_m], [name_m]Mike[/name_m], [name_m]Mac[/name_m], [name_u]Milo[/name_u], or [name_m]Mills[/name_m] could be other ideas.

[name_u]Mickey[/name_u] is cute! I would also suggest [name_u]Miles[/name_u], [name_u]Mel[/name_u], and [name_u]Cal[/name_u].

[name_u]Micky[/name_u], [name_u]Micah[/name_u] and [name_u]Milo[/name_u] are some of my faves - maybe [name_u]Cal[/name_u] or [name_u]Mel[/name_u] might work too

[name_m]Mikey[/name_m]
[name_m]Mike[/name_m]
[name_m]Mick[/name_m]
[name_u]Mickey[/name_u]
[name_m]Mac[/name_m]
[name_m]Mikle[/name_m] (mee-kell)
Mi
[name_u]Micha[/name_u]
[name_u]Cal[/name_u]
Chael
[name_u]Misha[/name_u]
[name_u]Miko[/name_u] (mike-o/meek-o)

Also you could come up with something like [name_u]Tiger[/name_u] or [name_m]Bear[/name_m] that has nothing to do with [name_u]Michael[/name_u] & end up calling him that.

[name_m]Mick[/name_m] :green_heart: :100:

What about [name_u]Micah[/name_u]. it is close enough to honour [name_u]Michael[/name_u], but still a different enough to be its own name.

thanks for the idea, @asherose!

what do you all think about micah as a nickname for michael?

I know a [name_u]Michael[/name_u] who goes by [name_u]Micky[/name_u], and another who goes by Miam!
Xx

i love mick! and micky / mickey as well

[name_m]Cale[/name_m]
[name_u]Mika[/name_u]
Mic
[name_u]Hale[/name_u]
[name_m]Mac[/name_m]
[name_u]Max[/name_u]

I think [name_u]Micah[/name_u] could be used as a standalone name as an honor for [name_u]Michael[/name_u]. Maybe that’s the better choice if you don’t really like [name_u]Michael[/name_u] all that much?

Also my cousin’s kid is [name_u]Michael[/name_u] the fourth but goes exclusively but a completely unrelated nickname that they liked. So that could be an option as well.

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite ‘Michael’ nicknames are definitely [name_u]Milo[/name_u] and [name_u]Misha[/name_u].

[name_u]Micah[/name_u] and [name_u]Misha[/name_u] are my 2 favorites, and I think they have the warm feeling you’re looking for! But [name_m]Mac[/name_m] is super cute as well!

[name_f]My[/name_f] grandma had a friend whose son-in-law was an american naval officer named [name_u]Michael[/name_u]. Se wasn’t able to pronounce his name correctly, so he was just “Mico” (mee-coh) for her.

I second [name_u]Micah[/name_u] and [name_u]Misha[/name_u], but I think even [name_m]Ike[/name_m], Key and [name_u]Kai[/name_u] could work.
