Nicknames for Mikhail
I've seen Misha, Mishka, and Mika and I'm just kind of indifferent about all of them. I'd love to hear other ideas or arguments for or against these three! Thanks!

As a Russian name, Misha and Mishka are traditional. If that's the familial background, I'd stick with those. I like the sound of them. But in an area where only girls' names end in "a," it might seem odd. Then again, if you're in an area where Misha would sound weird, the correct pronunciation of Mikhail would probably be slaughtered, and I'd honestly advise against using that name for a child.
