My dad went by Mike. Some people call my brother Mike (though most use Michael). My brother had a friend named Michael, occasionally Mike. There were two additional Mikes on the court I grew up on. My nephew's middle name is. . . you guessed it, Michael (after my dad). And I'm sure I could come up with more of them in my life without too much trouble.

Mel, did you really? That poor guy if you did.

Just to give you an idea, this is a popularity chart for that name in the US: http://www.ourbabynamer.com/Michael-name-popularity.html

Number one name for boys for more than four decades (forty-four years). Top five for those forty-four years, plus another seventeen for a total of sixty-one years. Top ten for those sixty-one years plus another twelve for a total of seventy-three years. And top sixty since they kept keeping tract in 1880. This is a popular name here in the USA.
