Lol, sounds like when we have family gatherings with people from my mum's side of the family.  She's Irish and about every female in Ireland is called Mary, so it's quite amusing when someone says 'Mary' and half the room turns around.

Title: Re: how popular is your name? Post by: den68 on December 08, 2004, 01:01:11 PM that's pretty long, stick with Michelle.
Title: Re: how popular is your name? Post by: Lord Nepenthean on December 08, 2004, 01:05:32 PM That translation of Michael isn't very good. It comes from Hebrew, and it is not a question. Don't people realize that punctuation can completely change the meaning of a sentence or phrase? With a question mark, that doesn't make any sense as the meaning of a person's name. Without the question mark (the more correct translation), it is a simple phrase (not a sentence) to describe somebody who is powerful, great, and all-knowing (me). Egoism aside, I imagine that this goes back to the Archangel Michael, who banished Satan to Hell after he tried to take God's throne away from him. Thus, Michael's name probably came to be associated with his great, god-like qualities. Everyone knew this. Nobody was asking a freaking question.
