I'm not a huge fan of surnames as given names, but this one I like as a fn.

Don't like it at all

[Goggie]

Like it, think I may add it to my list!

Edit: strike that, DH doesn't think it goes well with surname. The search continues...

I like the name Mitchell - I think of it as a variation on Michael (which I also like) rather than as a surname turned first name.

I like it but am also biased as I have one myself! Oh and winkles, I have a Mitchell Robert aswell!

nice

we chose surnames.clan names as first names as we wanted something a little different, a strong name to go with our common surname

so we have a Todd and Grant

I agree, I think of it as a variant on Michael rather than a surname (though like Michael(s) it can be a surname too).

But I like Michael better than Mitchell aesthetically, even if I did have a crush on a Mitchell when I was 8.

While not directly related I also like Micah and Malachi more than Mitchell. No real name rules type reason, I just am not into "Mitch" and it doesn't feel as classic to me which is probably purely a matter of it being less common amongst the circles I moved in growing up.

I like it.

Love it. It's my DS's & DH's middle names
