My arguement is that Michael is His name from eternity.

Except that Jesus isn't "like" God, he *is* God.

The name Michael can also be understood as a rhetorical question -- "Who is like God?"; the correct answer being, "Nobody". I believe this is the traditional Hebrew understanding of the name.

Jesus' "pre-existing name"? YVWH, of course.

If you read Isaish, Christ had several names.

Who is like God, is a title and statement and not a question. You’d have to show it was intended as a question and not a statemnt for it to not be correct.
