When I was pregnant with her 23yrs ago, (boy do they fly by) we were thinking of michelle, someone mentioned to me, they had a friend who nicknamed there girl Meesh. I thought wow great name and added the a. It suits her perfectly, red hair, temper stubborn and heart of gold. Male spelling which sounds the same from Russia is Misha. It was hard finding a good second name to go with it but we went with Lynne.
