I honestly think Michelangelo is a beautiful name. It sounds so classy, strong and majestic. It is elegant and artistic, and I think it ages perfectly. I get that it would be a lot to live up to, but people name their kids after heroic figures all the time, such as John, Esther, and even Jesus, and they're fine. Plus, as someone who has personally witnessed the immense beauty and artistry of the Sistine Chapel, I can tell you that it is absolutely gorgeous; it would be an honor, in my opinion, to share a name with this gifted artist. Overall, I think Michelangelo is a gorgeous name.

Maybe a bit lengthy, but still a great name. The nickname “Mikey” is always an option. Cowabunga, dudes! :P.

This name sounds too much for a child to live up to. Michelangelo created lovely works of art, and I don't think anyone mowadays can copy them. It also makes me think of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

I simply love this name. I already have a plan for my son as he grows with this name. As a small child I'll call him Mickey, then as a teenager I'll call him Mick then he'll probably like Michelangelo by the time he's an adult. I love the relation with Mick Jagger and of course, Michelangelo himself.

It would sound hopelessly pompous on a person today.

Ok, I would definitely consider this a name for a future son. It sounds brave, and it sounds much better than Michael. But as a middle name though, because immature children would make fun of him.
