I usually hate
Michael. But
Michael nn
Mick is
awesome to me - so unexpected and retro. I hope you can be convinced of that. There are so very many Michaels in the world... I hope one day you will get over bad associations. There's also
Mikhail, if you want to dip into the pool of Russian names.
I also really like
John nn
Jack, incidentally.
Mack is also pretty neat. I'd spell it Mac, though, because
Mack seems too in-your-face-Hallo-I-am-a-Mack-truck. I also like
Malcolm a lot lately, and
Malcolm nn Mac works quite well. Let's see. I like
Cormac a lot, I think it's very sharp.
Martin nn
Mick or Mac works. Any of the
Max- names works, but I think that's pretty contrived.
Joachim could be Mac?
Lachlan, maybe?
Macario, which I think is really neat.
Malachi, definitely.
Malachi nn Mac or
Mack gmv.
I don't like
Mitch or
Mitchell much. (Incidentally,
Mitchell =
Michael, etymologically.)
Mick. Let's see.
Dominic?
Amalric?
Emmerich?
