And thinking Michael is the coolest name for a girl! Good job I'm too old for naming babies! 🤣

Michael?? 😂😂

The mum in The Waltons was played by an actress who was credited as Miss Michael Learned. I'm guessing it caused her a few headaches.

Yes that baffled me a bit.

Is it more usual as a girls name in USA?

Isolatedizzy · 23/10/2020 18:29

I think it might be a Vulcan thing - it's Star Trek remember,! she's just such a cool character!

Doesn’t fit on Tuvok though..

NiceGerbil 🤣 I think she's been brought up by Vulcan's - I'm obviously not paying enough attention!

No one else is flinching at the fact she's called Micheal so maybe it is an American thing!
