Yes, Leslie I know that. It's a long story, but it involves the US Army, and the fact that once entered on an official US Government document, it seems to take an act of Congress to correct. Also, no one seemed to get that Michel was a boy's name pronounced as Michelle, they just thought I spelled it wrong and changed it back, or called me Michael (with a hard c) anyway. That is how it got to Michael. But I don't mind so much to be called Michael with a hard c, but I hate the way my last name sounds when Americanized, especially when they hang on the r and pronounce it like Four-ni-errrr.
Besides, Michael is from St. Michael, and heck, who knows, I could use a saint watching over me from time to time.
