I really dislike most nn's as given names in general, but esp. childish ones (like
Timmy,
Jimmy,
Billy, etc.). Mikey seems worse than most, imo, though. :-/
On that note, I recently met a
woman named Mykey. Makes Mikey on a boy seem a bit better, no? ;)
ETA:
My ex-fiance's legal name is
Tommy but he calls himself
Thomas, no nn.
He planned on changing legally at some point. Only his immediate family still calls him
Tommy.
