It apparently means “who is like the Lord” or “who resembles the Lord” but I’m not sure if it was picked by my parents first the meaning or they just liked it. I don’t have a middle name although I do have a song by the Beetles with my name. I also loved Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion movie even though they spelt my name 😑 😊.

When I was little my pet names were mich-mich, michelin tire in UK it’s usually Chelle/Shelly and more recently many people have taken to Michelle Obama when they hear my name but my family just call me Michy pronounced mee-shii.

The strangest spelling of my name I’ve seen is Mishel and for some reason my grandfather spells it Mitchell. I have a niece named after me but they call her Mimi which is what my mums side of the family calls me. It’s always fun to hear someone is called Michelle and give them the one l or two l’s look 👀.

Apparently my lucky number is 4 but in reality I think 13 is my number and apparently it can mean “as fair as the Lord” which I think I like and agree with more than “like the Lord”.
