About the Name Mike

The letter K – the symbol of forceful action – creates the vigorous masculine power found in the words kick, knock, knuckle, knife, kill, keen and king. On the other hand, the letter M is strongly connected to all things maternal, mild, motherly, maidenly, and matronly, and suggests people who are very comfortable with both their masculine and feminine sides. Even though the overwhelming majority of people with M names are female, those who bear an MK root are mostly male. The exceptions are those names feminized by a terminating vowel (or the letter Y), as in Mickey, Mackenzie, Minky, and Monique.

If there were one word to describe MK personalities, it would be game. For the MKs are the kinds of people to try anything once – or even twice if things don’t work out the first time. Totally unafraid of hard work, MKs are irresistibly drawn to challenges and their youthful curiosities give them considerable advantages when it comes to mastering new technologies.

If there’s a drawback to having such a determined spirit, it’s that MKs are apt to get a little impatient when other people are unable to keep up with them. It’s not that they mind shouldering the load, but they’re not the kind of people who’ll stop what they’re doing just to bring other people up to speed.

MKs are incurably inventive. If someone is doing something a certain way, chances are, they’ll come up with a better way of doing it. It can be a little annoying at times because you often get the sense that they’re only trying to show how good they are. And unfortunately, they’re mostly always right. But like most capable personalities, there’s nothing more dangerous than an MK who’s made a miscalculation and is heading for disaster. Nothing’s going to stop this train as long as it believes that it’s on the right track, so you’re better off getting out of the way and watching the wreck from a safe distance.

As mates, MKs tend to be the dominant partners… eager in bed and a bit pushy to boot. They may descend into petty lecturing when peeved but will ascend to heroic heights in their efforts to show how much they’re in love. Their demonstrativeness might be based on a need to assuage their guilt for being so dogmatic, but their families will always be well cared for, and adored by, these larger-than-life dynamos.

If adults find their energetic spirits attractive, children find them positively irresistible. MKs respond well to the vigor of youth and usually can’t wait to have their own children who will be co-opted into all sorts of misadventures.
