Peak theorising: Michael's real name
Michael's real name is William Michael Afton Jr., and I have peak evidence.
Michael looks identical to his dad, so William would likely want to name him after himself.
William is a narcissist that would name a kid after himself.
Michael was confused for his old man in SL, which would be because he not only shares William's looks, but his name.
George Bush Jr. looks identical to George Bush Sr., and they were both put into positions of power. It is heavily likely that Scott was inspired to make characters based off the Bush family, and that's how we got the Aftons.
Mike Schmidt is a dumb fuckin' alias if Michael is Michael's first name.
People go by their middle names. Michael would likely want to go by his.
William only calls Michael by his niddle name in UCN because he wants to be helped. If Michael was indeed his first name, William would've called him Mike.
I watched SML the other day and one of their videos had this premise, along with Junior and Braxton being implied to look extremely similar.
I am Scott Cawthon.
Edwin's dad looks identical to his kid's book counterpart and is called Edwin Sr..
