Alternate Spellings vs. For Michael? vs. Mikhol? or Mikael?

My husband and I want to name out son Michael. But everytime I make a poll or mention it to friends they say that Michael is to over used and bland. So I decided that maybe if we spelled it differently that freshen it up a bit. WDYT? Spelling suggestions please! Except Mikhail. Thanks!!!

Its still the same name no matter how you spell it. If you love it, use it. But spell it the traditional way as to avoid confusion in his adult life.

Mikel maybe... but the traditional way is good. It is what it is a name you love and it used to be very popular and common but now the common thing is Aiden and Mason

I don’t think Michael is as common as some of the other names. I would go with Michael, and spell it the traditional way if that is the name you love!
