Mikey

My name is Malaika and I get called Mikey/Maiki. It's a cute nickname, but not a "real" name for me.

Yikes! Awkward spelling. I'd definitely prefer Mickey over this.

Name your child Michael, and then use "Mikey" as a nickname...because Mikey is a LITTLE childish, but do whatever you want with his / her name!

A nice nickname for Michael, but way too childish as a first name.

Awesome name! It’s better than Mike and Mickey and it’s my name too.

I was born Michael, at birth. At 16, renamed to Mikey, as not to reference being acute... My name is the same as Michael, however, a part of the meaning has been left out... Mikey means love, or goodwill... which is the essence of life, love, equality, God :)

I don't even like this name on a little boy. It just sounds so immature and it does not age well. I could not take a man seriously if he had this name.

This name is cute on a little boy, but sounds really childish on a grown man. This isn't one of those diminutive nicknames that ages well, in my opinion.
