Why I was named Michelle:
After asking my mom, I have discovered that my original name was in fact not Michelle, but Irene. I was called Irene for a week after I was born; I even got registered in the papers with that name. There is no particular reason why I had this name, my mom just liked it. The reason why they changed it was because I have an older sister named Tatiana. In Spanish when you would say our names together you would have to say Tatiana e Irene, instead of y Irene. You had to say it like that because it is a Spanish grammar rule. When my mom thought about it she did not like it at all, that’s why she changed it to Michelle. There is also no reason for why she chose this name, she simply liked it, and probably read it in a 500 baby name book she had bought.
