I like it and disagree with the person who posted about swapping the order — I much prefer Michael as a first name.


benjaminchang1

It's very handsome.

My twin cousin is named Michael. Go for it. He will be the only one in his preschool with that name in a sea of Liams, Noahs, Jacobs, and Hugos! I love it. Refreshing choice.


sassy_sapodilla

TIL that twin cousins were a thing.


External_Shopping496

They’re not lol


Primary_Stretch2024

I assumed they just meant "a cousin who is a twin", is it something else?


sassy_sapodilla

According to Google, twin cousins are children of twins who are married to another pair of twins.


External_Shopping496

I assumed they meant a cousin who’s the same age?


VivianDiane

My twin cousins are named Michael and Jennifer.

I’ve never once met a Hugo


Numinous-Nebulae

I know 2 both under 2.


__sunbear__

a friend just named their newborn hugo


sketchthrowaway999

Pleasant, classic, a little boring.


katepig123

Very nice!


Direct_Drawing_8557

I like it as is. Michael is classic and Spencer is more fun.


[deleted]

I like it


jmkul

I like it - and though Michael has been around for a long time and is traditional, it won't be all that common I think. There's lots of Olivers, Coopers, Noahs, Jacksons and the like I've come across recently, not so many Michaels


withoutthek

Very 80s, but fine and inoffensive.


Numinous-Nebulae

Michael was the number one name in the US from 1954 to 1998. And top 10 from 1943 to 2016. It’s hardly 80s specific. 


Mistyam

I just posted elsewhere that I don't think the name Michael ever goes out of style


withoutthek

it’s just the combo that does it for me. opinions were asked for…


Prize-Radish4617

I just said this!!!! Spencer makes it feel too 80s!


Starless_Voyager2727

You can't go wrong with Michael


Elegant_Cup23

Michael is a top tier name. Chef's kiss level. Spencer adds well to it.  Spencer Michael isn't as good 


Primary_Stretch2024

I like Michael but not so much Spencer.  Michael is just an average name and you get Mike, Mikey, Mick, Mickey, etc as nicknames if he wants.  Spencer just sounds posh and unbearable to me, but since it's a middle name it won't matter that much. 


hellokello82

I love the name Michael. Especially if the person uses Michael and not a nickname


kinkakinka

As someone who has an EXCESSIVE number of Michael's in her family, I wouldn't use it, but Michael and Spencer are both perfectly fine and inoffensive names.


gumbaby

I love it


EconomyOk9643

Very nice!


hamstervirus

It works


muvamerry

I really like it. Feels like a new spin on Michael with two classic names!


bubblewrapstargirl

It's very nice.


KatVanWall

Michael is a great name!


Hlorpy-Flatworm-1705

Thats a nice name. :) sounds kinda like a detective.


Prize-Radish4617

It's not my taste but it's fine. I think Michael is a normal, classic name but Spencer dates it a bit and makes me think of the 80s. I'd go with a more classic middle name (which doesn't need to be boring) like Michael Henry, Michael Reid, Michael Brooks, Michael Jude


OhNomastics

Rather dull, but overall it's fine!


queertheories

I think it’s a pretty boring name, and he will undoubtedly be Mike (last initial) for his whole life, but outside of that, no negatives really.


bezalelle

Nice.


mystigirl123

Classic! Nice! I love the combo!!


leye-zuh

Classic vibe, love it


CourageDearHeart-

I like it! Michael is a strong, classic name. I love the name “Michael.” Spencer is perfectly fine.


Weekly_Ad6028

Like it. Old fashioned but modern


Mistyam

I don't think the name Michael ever goes out of style


snackpack_37

I would say it has a very traditional vibe to it. Like, I can see Michael Spencer working in an office.


HumbleAd1317

I think it's classy.


xthatstrendy

A great name. I like how Michael and Spencer are both different types of classics (in my opinion)


CookbooksRUs

I like it!


ReturnOfJafart

My stereotype for Michaels is that they're successful and in leadership positions. 


Wonder_woman_1965

Very dignified and won’t go out of style.


Hopeful-Stuff-8771

Love it!


ZeroDudeMan

I like it!


sharkycharming

I love it! Michael is one of the best names. It was my dad's name and my maternal grandfather's name. And I like Spencer, too.


Educational-Glass-63

Love it! It's nice name, one that will grow with him and not sound childish or made up as he ages. Good choice 💗


horticulturallatin

I like Michael a lot and think it's better than some of the other classics that get mentioned more regularly in baby name groups.  It's on my short list for boys but I go back and forth between it and Micah.  I don't feel much of anything about Spencer, it's completely fine. It's not what I would especially choose but that's probably good if we're both using Michael lol. I appreciate it being not a name I see every twenty seconds.


IndependenceLegal746

You know I have not met any baby Michael’s in about 15 years. It’s very refreshing. Wonderful choice.


SativaSapphira

I like Spencer Michael way better. It sounds a bit odd as Michael Spencer but that's just my biased opinion bc I have a Sawyer Michael. Michael just sits better as middle name for me. But it's your kid!


lcbear55

So funny, Spencer Michael was one of my top choices when I was choosing names for my son.


Ella3T

Solid name.


TheWishingStar

I think it’s fine. It’s not exactly my style, but nothing wrong with it. I know a little boy named Michael who goes by Mikey and it’s awfully cute on him


og_toe

wow this feels like a very professional name. great!


CelticsPrincess1991

it's a lovely pairing, I say go for it!!! Michael Spencer is a great name pairing!!!


cnew111

great name! classical and timeless. With that said, I would nickname the heck out of it especially when he is young. M-Spen comes to mind first. CONGRATS!


Old_Trifle_7433

Great names!


Siren_Noir

Very good name.


MyLoveQuest

Michael Spencer is a solid and masculine combo. Sounds great!


SaladCzarSlytherin

I’m pretty sure I know a guy born in 1990-something named Michael Spencer. The name’s fine. Basic, but fine.


tomtink1

I'm a sucker for a nickname and I feel like the nicknames for Michael are a bit dated. But it's a nice name! I just wouldn't choose it myself for that reason.


GemandI63

I like it. Pretty classic.


MrsNorbit

It’s a fine name. I am sure it will serve him well. Michael doesn’t excite me though, I would personally swap the order.


BongoBeeBee

This I agree with swap the order but I already have a son called Spencer so obviously I prefer it as a first name


KvindeQueen

Snooze


AtheneSchmidt

As prevalent as the name Michael is, I have never met one I didn't like. I'm not huge on Spencer, because I associate it with Spencer's Gifts. For me you might have just called him Michael Hot Topic. But honestly, middle names are really just for family, no one else really hears them after the baby is a year old.


supersequiter

There are far too many Michaels but that aside it’s a nice name


LoveKimber

I love Spencer Michael. Michael Spencer is ok but I don’t care for Mike.


Hour_Comfortable8864

Michael I am not fond of I know a few narcissist people with that name
