Re: I have to share this story..
After having taught kids for longer than I care to remember I have a "theory" that kids "fit" their names...ie. I have taught several Jacks (sorry if anyone has a kid named Jack) but they have all been really naughty under achievers. a couple of Thomas' who were very clever but very laid back and the list could go on and on...never taught a Zeke though, or an Elias come to that matter 
FIWI my son's name is Oliver, Ollie for short. Daughter is Francesca, Chessie for short

Michael is such a universal, ancient, and well-loved name that there are loads of them. I knew one who was a dweeb; and one who I will remember favourably forever.

A Baby boy - 6lbs 13 ozs
'Bout bleeding time!! - Got a text this morning
She should be home tomorrow, so hopefully i'll get to see baby on webcam - she text and said "he's a dream come through" - so that means shes either still drugged up or become dyslexic - or maybe just giddy with happiness

He's a QPR supporter? or are you saying we're very different?
My ultimate argument is that the name comes from an Archangel, and I'm no angel.
I was going to say that I'm quite different from Michael Caine, but his name was Maurice when he was a boy. Aha, I am different from Michael Wilding.
