Comments for the name Michelangelo

Comments for MICHELANGELO:

I like how this name has two well-known names, but the name itself is hardly used.

I LOVE this name, Michelangelo is my fave Ninja Turtle, and I love the painter's paintings and sculptures. I am consdering this for a son.

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.

It would sound hopelessly pompous on a person today.

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.

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.
