    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.

    I'm becoming very close friends with a Michelle. She always looks fresh and glowy, even when she's wearing a cloth headband and her husbands pj pants. She's very accomodating and sweet and impossibly patient. But you can't be fooled by her sweetness because she has a bit of a twisted sense of humour and loves wit. She's totally a mystery even when you feel like you know her well. She's impossible not to love as a person because she's the type of person that makes you enjoy people...if that makes sense. She's a delight.

    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...

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

    I think Paul McCartney might have contributed to the air of sexy unattainable mystery around the name Michelle, non?

    @ClementinedeWinter: My father chose Michelle for me six months before the Beatles song came out... because he thought it was unique and I'd be one of the few. I quickly became Shelley (with an e) to distinguish myself, long before kindergarten.

    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.

    None of the famous Michelles match my idea of the name. I think of it as kinda 80s and "trashy." I grew up in the NY metro area and think of Michelle as the ultimate Jersey Girl name. The Michelles I've known wear too much lipstick, have big hair and serious Jersey accents. Glamorous is literally the last adjective I'd think of for this name.

    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.
