MN name help needed for Mick

northtamarack

Mick is one of our top runners.  DH wants to go with Jon (family name) but I think it is too staccato-sounding.  All other family names are either not our style or very ethnic.  It was super hard to just come up with Mick and now we need to come up with a MN.  Ugh.  Oh yes, and the last name starts with an M.  Any suggestions??

Not much help here.  I like the name, but when you say it with any other name it initially sounds like McName.

Thought the same thing, but then again, my last name is a Mc.

Oh crap.  I see what you mean.    DH and I don't agree on names .... and this was one that we could both agree on.  Sigh.

It does sound like McName, but if you love the name Mick, perhaps you could use it as a NN. That's our plan if we ever get a Y chromosome up in here.  McHale is a family name (though I know the "Mc" names are not always popular on this board), and we love the nickname Mick.

Meh, it only sounds like McName when you read it first-middle like that. Which you will rarely do in your child's life. Even at graduations and other such "full name events," they put pretty lengthy pauses between each name. "Mick...Middle Name...Last Name." Don't sweat it.

 I like Mick. Avoid any blatantly Irish/Scottish MN, and no one will even notice.

 Are there any family names you could use? MNs are kind of a free for all.

My BIL is Micah Andrew, we call him Mick... Maybe an alternative to avoid the sound of McName

Did you know Mick is a derogatory term for an Irish person? I would definitely do a double take if I heard this as a proper name.

 Mick is a pretty popular name (I usually hear it as a nickname though) for Irish guys. We have a couple in my family and they are all Michael nn Mick.

MH is Irish on his mother's side, and we live in an Irish neighborhood in Boston. You are right Mick is a popular NN for Michael. It is still a derogatory term for Irish people. Obviously OP can name her son whatever she wants, but why give your child a name, a first name at that, with a negative connotation?

I can only think of two famous Micks, Jagger and Fleetwood. They are both legally named Michael.
