Oh, yes to Michael. It's lovely and timeless. Sweet and friendly.

Michael James -- Safe. I think you can do better.
Michael Joseph -- Ditto.
Michael William -- Tritto.

---

William Peter -- Wonderful! I don't see Peter used nearly enough.
William Michael -- Safe.
William James -- You already know what I'm going to say to this.
William Ian -- The ending of William and the whole of Ian are too similar.

All of the combinations, except William Ian, are fine. I just think you can stretch your naming horizons a little if you're going to use a common (yet still wonderful) fn like Michael. How about:
