Help[Opinions] Re: Michelle.
in reply to a message by vigdis
Spelling-wise, I prefer it with one l - I've got two friends who spell it Michele, one an English-speaking South African and one French. Michele just looks lighter and more energetic and lively than the stodgier Michelle. And I dislike Michaela too! As for usability, who wouldn't like to be named after one of the Beatles' finest?

I am definitely going to have to spell it Michele.
My father's-in-law love for the name is because of the song. :-D I didn't realize they spelled it Michele.

They don't! Sorry, clearly I wasn't making myself clear. Oh no, it's "Michelle, ma belle" all right ... but since Michele is also authentic French (witness my friend, born in Lyons) I see no reason to shun it. Goodness knows how much French the Beatles knew, anyway, but I don't imagine it was a lot!

Well, they do say that they're using "the only words I know that you'll understand"...

The only ones they understood themselves, more likely! Much as I revere the lads, I can't see them paying much attention in a French class ...
