Michael

• Strong, masculine name without being cartoonishly macho. Works well for any age and Mike is a good nickname.
• classic boys name, maybe a bit too common, i wish it wasnt so common
• It reminds me of a very dear friend of mine, who I had to miss to early.
• very traditional and can be used as a middle name to almost any boy's name. eg. Kaleb Michael, Noah Michael.
• Overused these days perhaps, but I've always adored the sound of it. My favorite cousin's name is Michael so perhaps that's why I love it so much. I also love the meaning: "one who is like God."
• Michael is my favorite name of all-time. With the "k" sound in there, it's "crisp and clear". It's a very handsome, timeless name that sounds strong, yet kind and sweet.
• Again, a traditional, strong sounding name
• Michael Anthony: I know, one of the most popular names, but I want to have twins sometime, and live the names if I have a boy and a girl Michael and Micallie.
• Michael James: Lots of Michael's but a solid, masculine name
• Michael Joseph: Michael is the one name I have always known I want to name my child since I was very young. It sounds beautiful, and it seems like such a strong name, and it represents the powerful archangel of God. Many men over the years in TV shows I enjoyed have had it-for example, Michael Landon, in Highway to Heaven, Michael was David Hasselhoff's name in Knight Rider, and Jan Michael Vincent the actor, who was in Air Wolf, had it in his name. Also, it seemed like every guy I knew with it was good-looking, so one can hope for the best!! Joseph I like for a middle name because I like the way it sounds, and it is my husband's middle name and his father's middle name. Michael is also my father's middle name, so it seems appropriate enough to pass on both of our father's names through the names we already like.
• Michael Paul-it's one of the more original names ... but it sounds right for a bright..smart little boy.

Michael is an English form of the Hebrew name Mikha'el, which means "who is like God?" It is often listed in baby name books as meaning "god-like" or "one who is like God," but this is inaccurate. The original Hebrew is a rhetorical question, with the implication being that there is no one like God.
