Mikey

Spiky and playful, Mikey could fit in with Stevie, Scottie, and Charlie as a boyish nickname for girls. It might work as an updated honor for a Michaela, a Michelle, or a Michael, or as a rarer alternative to Frankie, Miley, and Micah.

Ultimately drawn from Hebrew, Mikey means "who is like God?", and despite its familiarity, only debuted in the US stats for girls in 2023. Currently given to just a very small handful, this may change in coming years as Davy, Benny, and Ronnie start to catch on.

Parents may be more inspired to consider the name for their daughters after singer Meghan Trainor chose it for her daughter, Mikey Moon, born in 2026.

Pronounced MY-kee.

As of October 2026, Mikey ranked #11593 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #5033 in 1945.
