2. Other possible middle names for it?

3. What middle name would you pair it with?

    1) Sean Michael

    Sean to me is the traditional way to spell the name. It's aesthetically the best and looks proper. My second pick would be Shaun but whenever I see it, I always think of Shauna which is obviously the female name but SO similar in look. Shawn is my least favorite - it seems trashy and low rent and ummm.. urban.

    2) Sean Alexander, Sean Oliver, Sean Tyler, Sean Aaron, Sean Jackson, Sean Mitchell

    3) Sean Michael or Sean Oliver

    4) No just b/c while a nice name, it's not on my personal list of Top 10 boy names and I don't plan on having more than 10 boys, lol. I just like some other male names more but there is nothing wrong with it.

    1. If I had to choose a spelling i would say just chose a spelling that everyone knows how to spell so teachers will know and through out his life he wont have to be spelling it for everyone. Sean is the best way to go even though Shawn actually looks like the way you should spell Shawn so if i were you choose one of these spellings.

    2. Humm.... James, Aaden , Paul,Anthony, Caleb, Alexander, Hunter, I Wouldnt't change the middle name i really like Sean/Shawn Michael its ADORABLE!

    3. I Would Put Together Sean Michael, Sean Anthony, and Sean James Sean Alexander Sounds Really Cute But I Would Never Name My Baby Alexander And Idk Y I Just Dont Like It....?

    4. Yes I Would Use It, Its Original, and Classy and i just adore Sean Michael.

    Source(s): I know you want Sean to be the first name but may i suggest my 2 favorite names ever! I know you said you want michael to be the middle name so here it is, Aaden Michael and Caleb Aaden. I Love Them Both!!!!! You probably dont like the name Aaden Michael but i do i love it.

    I prefer Sean Michael. Sean is my friend's name, it doesn't seem "right" any other way. Sean is the closest you can get to the original, Seán, which brings up the issue of getting the accent over the 'a'.

    My friend is named Sean Isaac. I like... Sean Oliver, Sean Finlay, Sean Jonah, Sean Lucas.

    Personally, I'd go with Sean Micah.

    I wouldn't use it, because of my friend, it'd be strange for the both of us. If I didn't know him, I wouldn't hesitate using it.

    =)

    Source(s): @Debi; yes, it can be pronounced "Seen", but only and idiot would do so.

    1. I like Sean the best because the look is neat, and the best in my opinion.

    2. Allen, Alexander, Ashton

    3.I would pair Sean with Ashton because Ashton is different.

    4. I wouldn't use it because I like more unique names.

    1. Shaun Michael. It just looks the most visually appealing to me.

    2. Lots, but it looks like you are set on Michael.

    3. Shaun Gabriel comes to mind first.

    4. I would use Shaun but it's not my first choice because I love other names more. I do quite like Shaun though.

    1.) Sean Michael; either way is nice.

    2.) I like the middle names Eli, Alexander, Lucas/Luke, Henry, etc. (but these names or similar ones)

    3.)Jack, Robbie, Isaac, Gabriel, Gavin, William, Justin, etc. (but mostly these)

    4.) I would because a lot of them aren't really common, but are very unique, fun-sounding, and/or elegant.

    Sean because it's the more authentic spelling.

    Shaun and Shawn came from people who wanted Sean but couldn't figure out the spelling.

    I like.. Sean Alexander. A short first name + a long middle name = win.

    And no, I wouldn't use it.. not my taste.

    I have a brother with this name. He spells it Sean. His middle name is after my father which is Jason. No, cause my brother is naming his next child this and I chose names for my four children based on suggestions from their fathers.

    I like Shawn better than Shaun. I don't like Sean because it can also be pronounced Seen.
