    In reply to M Is For Michelle, An Elegant Mystery
    Aww, not my M name. .... but honestly, I don't think you can define a person by a name. Or astrological sign, or any of that. People are who they are, and commonalities come through experiences, not names or birthdays.

    Bummed my name wasn't the M name, but it never is. For anything.

    Michelle was my best friend growing up. She had, like, a different personality every week-- not in a bad way, or how she'd treat you, but in the way of like, oh this week I'm into yoga! Now I'm obsessed with soaps! Now we have to go buy workout gear 'cause I'm a RUNNER now! Now I'm going to be a singer! No, an actress! No, an interior decorator! No, a doctor!--and she was always the first person in school to have the funky new haircut. She was kind of fearless but wore her heart on her sleeve a lot-- I'd probably have called her a drama queen if I didn't like her so much. I moved away when we were 15, eight years ago, and we lost touch. I miss her. She'll always be the one the Beatles were singing about to me.

    Don't forget Michele Norris! Her voice continues to soothe me on my drive. Maybe she doesn't count, because it's Meeeshell?

    @myyysharona: I wish I could find it, but they did a thing on their website where they did audio clips, and you had to try and match it up to their pictures. I did a horrific job at guessing.

    @mfnher: i would have probably screwed up on that quiz, too. right after i commented on this and went to npr.org. i poked around the site until i found out what the other commentators and reporters looked like. what i imagined in my mind versus what i saw were completely different. (well, except for carl kassel.) now i am wondering how far off my mental images of what my clients from work (the ones i only have phone relationships with) are...

    Michele Norris! She has a beautiful voice, my sometimes she uses it to sound so bitchy.

    The Michelles I know are professional acquaintances. They are all nice, but nothing like you described as far as elegant, etc.

    In reply to M Is For Michelle, An Elegant Mystery
    I think of Michelle Tanner when I hear the name Michelle. When I discovered that Michelle was played by twins, it blew my mind. I guess I don't really know very many Michelles in real life.

    I am also late to this name game, as I didn't realize that my name (my name lacks an N though and is not pronounced the same way) was the first one covered.

    No! I beg to differ. My best friend is a Michelle, and while she is indeed tall and cool, she is one of the messiest people I know, and she gets asked out a lot.

    I was hoping for Luci/y!

    Ah well, not as common a name as Lisa.

    I went to high school with a Lisa that I still talk to, and she is very laid back and friendly. I have an Aunt Lisa who is a complete and total psycho, that I haven;t seen since I was a small child.

    Sooo, I'm 50/50 on Lisa's. #lisa

    My younger sister is a Lisa. She is the most lovely mix of wit, brawn, skills, and creativity....with a tit more unicorn dust than the average bear. #lisa

    I love this feature. Names are so different in the US. Lisa isn't particularly common here in the UK and I think of it as such a perky and fun All American name.

    The only British Lisa I have ever met was a terrifying and very judgemental almost stereotypical second wave feminist. There was nothing perky and fun about her (but she was very interesting.) #lisa

    yay! i've been hoping you'd do my name - sometimes it gets glossed over as a shortened version of Elizabeth. #lisa

    @Penny: As a self-obsessed Lisa, I know every song with my name in it and this is one of my favorites. See also: Lisa by Prince, Losing Lisa by Ben Folds, O Lisa by Weezer, and of course, Lisa songs by the Simpsons. "Lisa, your teeth are big and green; Lisa, you smell like gasoline," is something I hear way, way too often. #lisa
