popular where you live?

Micah is very popular here, Michael, not so much..

Do you like the NN Mike

I think Michael is popular everywhere but for good reason. I personally don't know any little Michaels though. I think Mikey is adorable and Mike is a good, solid nickname for a Michael of any age.

In my area (central PA), Michael is incredibly popular for boys who are teenagers and older. Not so much for younger kids or babies, though.

Michael is a family name for me, and I have a huge family, so I know a ton of Michaels. While the large majority of them are adults, I do know 3 under 5. Outside of my family, though, I can't really think of any young Michaels.

Micah is more common than Michael where I live now. Michael is more popular where I'm from. I think both are great names. I prefer the formal names to the nicknames Mike or Mikey.

The only Mike (Michael) I know is my husband or over 40 years of age.

My DH is a Michael and he never went by Mike or Mikey. Just not his personality. I think it's a great, timeless name, and even though it was the most popular boy's name of his birth year, he only knew a few growing up.

YES My husband, Father, Father-in-law, as well as 3 friends are all Michael's.

Oh god, yes, they're everywhere. I feel constantly surrounded by Michaels. I think it's inherently a nice name, but I'm so sick of it.

In my 9 years of teaching, I have had 4 or 5 Michaels.  All of them have gone by Michael.  I think it's a great name...common, but a refreshing change from all the -aden names.
