I went to elementary school with a female Mikel
So did I, but she was MIH-kel, not pronounced like Michael.

Katie, I was waiting for someone to say it! But nobody did! What's wrong with these people?
Loved that Rob & Amber got knocked back to third place by Rob's big fat mouth. 'Cause that's just funny. Want Joyce & Uchenna to WIN!
I've knew a few girls named Michael growing up. Most of them went by Micky. Didn't seem to cause them any problems. (Or at least, no more than my apparently unspellable last name did. It was always much more a problem for the teachers to deal with than the students.)

My only rule for future childrens' names (of which I will most likely never use) is that they need to be good hollerin names. Good hollerin names in my family include:
David Wayne, Ellen Kaye, Cade McCoy, Mark Allen, Rebecca Lynn
Bad hollerin names:
Taylor Nicole, Mason Wyatt, Jennifer ELizabeth, Joe Bole, Douglas Murray

Expedite! Was he overdue, or something?
Uh, don't know. It's Newfoundland, anything is possible.
I remember my dad once telling a story about his hometown to a old friend that started out. "Remember Flippy Saunders? The old one, not the young one." I couldn't stop laughing long enough to ask if Flippy was a family name or if they just nicknamed all the Saunders men Flippy.

My parents went to great lengths to make sure our names matched no known unpleasant words, our initials didn't spell out anything, and they were easy to spell. That didn't short-circuit all the creativity of grade school savages, but I appreciate the effort.
I'm sick and tired, though, of being asked if I spell my name with a K or end it with a Y. "Is that one N?" "It's Connie! How hard is it to spell Connie!" "You might have an H in it somewhere."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Hey Khany -- were you named after the Star Trek villain, by any chance?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Hey Khany
Who are you talking to? Do you mean Qonnaee?

I default to LEE-roy. The only Luh-ROY I knew spelled it LeRoi and actually pronounced it more like Luh-wah.
