Mickel is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Mickel in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Mickel in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Mickel by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Mickel ranks at #7,050. That means there are 7,049 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Mickel.
The odds of having a man or boy named Mickel in your home state are about the same as the chance for a white Christmas in New York City – in both cases they are less than 30%. More precisely, the first name Mickel is registered in 12 states, among which are California, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky or Louisiana. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Mickel live in Mississippi, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 181,808 men and boys in Mississippi for their name before you meet one who answers with Mickel.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter M is a particularly popular initial letter for boys’ names – 6.2% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter.

Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
