Beautiful name. Reminds me of seashells.
This is my name and honestly, I don't like it. Not many people in my grade have the name except one. I kinda wished I had a name like Melissa or Natalie. I'm sure in the future I would love my name how it is, but when people say it, they say it aggressively, Mu-shell with the Mu- part very aggressive or like a cow, Moo-shell. Like don't hold the Mu- part make it quick and smooth.

TOP DEFINITION via Urban Dictionary
Michelle
A beautiful name for a (young) beautiful girl. She is outgoing, very funny (or tries to be), and has a unique style. She is also very lovable, but can be awkward at times. She is the type of person you can easily get along with. She will be there to comfort her friends when they need it. She has a gift of discernment, meaning she knows when something is up. She has a great voice, but is shy to show it to the world. She needs more confident. Also, she can be very hyper at times. Even with her flaws, she is still perfect because the amount of flaws she has cannot compare to her flawlessness.

She loves to be outside exploring in nature and animals. She cares about all animals (cats, dogs, bunnies, wild animals...) and supports animal rights. We have had many rescued pets because they see the love Michelle has for animals and follow her home. Michelle also loves to read, watch shows about adventure, and spend time with her family. She is a wonderful sister.
Such a pretty name, this is in my top 10.

Gloria in te domine.. ancient Latin.
It's a pretty name. I'm surprised to see the comments saying it's overused. I've met only one Michelle ever and she was a young girl.
This is such a charming name! Would never use it here in Poland but I find it very appealing when used in the languages in which it actually works well and the pronunciation is more obvious. I get it that it probably is getting rather dated in the US, and I know only Michelles above the age of 30, but to me it sounds so youthful nevertheless, and I'd love to see it come back. I think it has such a great nickname potential, and actually ages really well. I like lots of Michael related names, and especially the feminine forms. I like the way Michaela looks but I don't like the way it sounds in English, especially with the abundance of all sorts of spellings. Meanwhile, Michelle sounds so soft and pleasant. It makes sense to pronounce it like mi-SHELL in English, not mee-SHELL like many people do, but I prefer the mee-SHELL version. I like the Beatles song and have a lot of pleasant associations with this name. My own cat is called Misha (MEE-shah and he is a male) and I tend to like this Mish sound very much, it's so cute and funny. My main synaesthetic association with the name Michelle is a shell, both in Polish which is my mother tongue and in English this name really sounds like a shell. In Polish shell is muszelka (moo-SHEL-kah) and the only Michelle I know personally often goes either by Miszelka or Muszelka. And I like the English nickname Shell or Shelly for it. Micha/Misha, Michy/Michi/Mishie and most others I can think of are great as well. I've recently come across a Swedish Youtuber called Michelle who says her nickname that she often goes by is Michan (I'm not sure how she spells it but it's like MEE-shan) which just melted my brain, so cute! I think the Michele spelling looks a bit worse and kind of negligent, but maybe it's that in my mind Michele is much more the Italian form of Michael than a form of Michelle and it creates some disharmony, I don't know, I just prefer the original spelling. I'd love to see Michelle coming back in the English-speaking countries.
When I think about a person named Michelle, I can imagine her any age, but at a first glance I see her as a teenager, some 15 years old or so. She is tall, has a rather curvy, full figure but is by no means fat. She has dark blonde/light brown, long, thick, straight hair, I see it in a ponytail, a full-cheeked face, dark blue, big eyes with long lashes.
This is just how I imagine a Michelle, not how I think all Michelles are or should be. Neither of the Michelles I know is exactly like this.
Michelle Aavitsland is a Norwegian singer.
Michelle tends to be pronounced more like the French way (mee-SHELL) in Poland.
The classic Polish form of this name is Michalina, and there are 43558 women named this in the whole Polish population. But Michelle has also been used, especially in the recent years, although not very often and there are 1778 women with this name here. There are also 776 women named Michaela (mee-hah-E-lah), and 429 people named Michele. Michelle for Poles seems to be perceived as a very modern, foreign version of a classic name and many people perceive it as snobbish. A Michelle can go by the same nicknames as Michalina - which may include Misia, Miśka, Michasia, Misza, Miszka, Misiunia, Michałka etc. - although the only Michelle I know (in her early 20's) usually goes either by her full name or by Miszelka (mee-SHEL-kah) which I personally find very charming. Miszelka sounds very much like muszelka - which means a sea shell - and I've heard some people calling her Muszelka (moo-SHEL-kah) as well, which I personally think is even better. A Michelle could have her name day together with Michał, which could be April 10 or September 29, or probably some other dates. Last year (2018) there were 2692 baby Michalinas born in Poland (#24, very popular lately), 21 Michelles (#232), and 5 Michaelas #434).
My name is Michelle and I really like this name and I am not a 40 year old like some people say it is a name for a 40 year old because I am around 16 and 17 and I like the name though I am not crazy for it. I think it is a really great name for a girl.
I think the name is very mature and soft. It used to be popular, but I don’t know any under the age of 30. I would love to meet a young girl named Michelle.
Michelle is an okay name - not as popular as it used to be when it was a hit by the Beatles but at least it is very feminine. These days I would probably consider it as a middle name but not as a first name.
Michelle is a character in the Endless Summer trilogy.
Michelle Lavigne is the sister of singer, Avril Lavigne.
I don’t hate this name, I think it’s decent but I don’t recommend naming a kid nowadays this. I feel like Michelle is becoming a mom name. Although I do think that having a name like Michelle would be nice because you won’t have to worry about the five other Michelle’s because nowadays girls are named Emma, Olivia, Isabella, Ava that kind of thing. So, I think the name is okay just a little outdated and momish.
Michelle sounds very pleasing to my ears and contrary to all the other comments that declare it as a “common” name, it is far from it. I have yet to meet someone with that name where I currently live. So if a potential parent desires a name that is not as common anymore as say an Olivia, Emma or Charlotte, then by all means use it.
Way overrated and overused. Met one in grade school but after the Beatles song Michelle, it was everywhere and I've met at least 50 since then. Was okay, but now I lump them with all the Jennifers, Caitlins and Lisa's.
Very chilled out name, bland but in a good way. Seems to roll off the tongue very freely and simply.

I named my only daughter Michelle over 30 years ago and it's still a good, solid and pretty classic-sounding name for her as she's now a mother herself. It always seemed right when she was in school, then got promoted into management levels at work and now as a busy mom of twins. Her favorite nickname that she still uses is Michy which her late grandfather used to call her. I had thought of so many other names when I was expecting her, but in the end Michelle felt just right for her. I chose a four letter middle name to balance out the length of that first name too. My step-sister had suggested the name Michelle originally to me and when, a few years later, she was expecting a girl she named her Rachel which was my choice for her daughter's name. The girls grew up spending time together getting along very well. Ah memories, lol.
This name is perfect for a 40 year old.
Why is this such a rare name nowadays? Out of all the people my age I've met, only one of those people has the name Michelle... and it's just their middle name! I guess people just thought it was too common, so people started to use it less. But that means that you won't get chastised if you name your child this, as it's not common anymore!

The name doesn't mean a person who is like God. Rather, it's a rhetorical question: "Who is like God?". The answer to that question is: no one is like God. This is my name and I was wrong for years about its meaning. I thought it meant being like God. Nope.

Michelle is my middle name, and I really like it - and the nickname Shelley, which is also an independent name. I often wish that I had insisted upon going by either Michelle or Shelley, instead of my first name, Paula. That said, it would be difficult to get used to having a name that is so much more popular than the one I am accustomed to. For my own generation, Michelle was definitely super popular. I love the alternative spelling, Michele, which is how singer-songwriter Debbie Gibson's sister spells it. I go back and forth about whether I prefer Michelle or Michele, as both are attractive, in different ways. I'm glad that this feminine version of Michael does not suffer from awful spelling variants, in the way that Michaela does. Michaela is lovely, but that is the only spelling of the name that I find attractive.

I grew up in the midwest, and there were so many girls named Michelle, that it almost doesn't have a connotation for me. It's not a classic, blue-blood name, but you can find it in all of the other classes. Lately, a number of Hispanic families have been naming their daughters Michelle, and it's twin, Denise.
You can go by Micky. My good friend is named Michelle but goes by Micky.
This is my name, and it's cool. It goes well with my mom's name, which is my middle, and makes it more unique when I provide the full name. There were maybe two to four other Michelles in my school. I'd have rather been given the rare name of my great-grandmother that was considered for me (Theodora; could've been called Dory and been the absolute only one in the school!), but, I'm happy with my parent's choice. I mean, it's not a super-favorite of mine aside from belonging to me, but it could have been so much worse. XD You get the "Michelle, My Belle" and the Full House references, and I've been nicknamed Michelin, Mike, Michelob, etc. Nothing too bad.And if I try to consider the name while dissociating myself from it... yeah, it is rather pretty and pleasant-sounding. I like the "elle" in it.
Between this and my middle name, there are some nice nickname opportunities for me.
Michelle Keegan, an English actress.
This was my mother's name (who was a wicked woman). I still hate it anyway because it's quite dated.
Michelle is American actress Ashley Tisdale's middle name.
In france it's a very old fashioned name.
It's a very feminine name and I think it's a good 'filler' name. When you can't think of a middle name for your daughter, put Michelle in there and 9 times out of 10 it'll flow well with ANY first name. But, the downside for me is that it's super popular and why I don't particularly like it... but it is pretty.The actress Priscilla Presley has a sister named Michelle, who was the maid of honor at Elvis & Priscilla's wedding.
Michelle Henke is a main character in the Honor Harrington series of Military SF novels by David Weber.

Anyways~
Sound: It sounds pretty, but almost to the point of sounding plain.

What a boring name. Yawn.
Dutch pronunciation is mee-SHEL-ə.
Michelle (1395-1422) was the daughter of King Charles VI of France and his wife Isabeau of Bavaria.
This is my name :) I don't like it at all, growing up there were always several other Michelle's so I was always "Michelle R." never just plain Michelle. I also hate when people call me Shell or Shelly. I think it's better used as a middle name, or not at all lol.
A bit bland, but it still makes a good middle name.
My middle name is Michelle because my first name wasn't very common when I was born and my parents wanted a more contemporary middle name. While I'm glad my middle name isn't 'Rose' or 'Nicole' or another typical middle name, I really wish they'd been a little more classic and original.
Michelle LaBorde was a well-known lawyer from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and also a victim of her husband, John Battaglia Jr.'s abuse. Her struggles with John are detailed in the book "No, Daddy, Don't" by Irene Pence.
Not necessarily bad, but rather boring and played out.
One of my sisters is named Michelle. She has gone by 'Shelly' from the time she was little. I happen to love this name, even if it is wildly popular.
Just another name used within an inch of its life. For all its popularity, it's never appealed to me. There's something trite about it, despite it being touted as "sweet" and "beautiful", but this may have more to do with Full House than I'd like to admit. Whatever the reason, I've come to rather dislike the name. Its usage was probably inspired by French being the go-to language for all things romance, but with hundreds of Michelles running around, it's hardly exotic or an original connection. Despite everyone imagining a beautiful woman when they hear this name, I think it's quite juvenile.
Seemed like one of those run of the mill names until one day, I came across it and was caught off guard by its sweetness. I love eccentric and out there names, but this has been added to my PNL. Might even use it.
It's okay. Not good or bad. Average.
One of my sisters' name is Michelle, but she thinks it's too serious so she goes by Shelly. I personally like the name Michelle, it sounds nice. But I also love the nickname Shelly.
I don't really care for this name. It is very common and sounds too plain.
Michelle Duggar and her family are featured in a popular reality show and recent book.
I would never name my daughter this, but it's a pretty name, it's old fashion and common but it isn't bad. Mimi would be a wonderful nickname.
Full House Michelle anyone?
I can't believe no one mentioned Michelle Obama, the current First Lady of the USA.
My aunt's name is Michelle, and I usually call her 'Chel-Chel' which is pronounced Chelle-Chelle. I love how it ends in an 'elle', but that might be because I have a lot of people in my family that names end in 'elle' (Janelle, Gabrielle, Marielle).
This is also my name ^_^ But it's my second name. I think it goes better with Eunice in front of it. (only in my opinion) I like Michelle and Eunice together because they make a good combination. My first name is Eunice and many people always forget it. So I just ask them to call me by my second name which is Michelle, that is easier to remember and spell :P. I love this name ^_^ It always makes me think of ME in a SHELL = Meshell (Michelle) cool huh?
Michelle is a beautiful name. My mother's middle name is Michelle, and she has always gone by her middle name. To me it brings to mind someone smart, strong, and determined, but that may be because that's how my mother is. I plan to use it as a middle name for my first daughter.
This name is also commonly used in the Netherlands. [noted -ed]
Michelle Obama (United States possible new First Lady) is also a famous bearer.
Idiotic, bratty, you name it I absolutely hate this name. I HATE THIS NAME sorry but that's what I think I mean it has the word HELL in it so it's gotta be bad.
This is a pretty name that suits girls and women of all ages. It sounds quite similar to names like Rachel and Rochelle, but they're not related. The only problem is that it has the word hell in it.
In Dutch we pronounced it as Michelluh.

For me, Michelle sounds like a very EVIL name, no offense if it's your name. The chelle is the part that sounds evil to me.
Michelle is my middle name. I think that it is very pretty but the only thing I don't like about it is that it makes my full name 26 letters long.
I like Michelle because I like Michael. It's a better feminine version than Michaela because Michelle is stable, calm and lovely while Michaela has been so badly used and oddly spelled that it is just too slutty.

This is my daughters name and I love it. We named her Michelle Leanne and the Michelle came from the song "My Michelle". It fits her well since she loves the Lord----Meaning being like the Lord. I really believe our names are significant to our life and hold great value to who we are and should be appreciated for that reason. I especially love biblical names for that reason.
My name is Michelle. I like my name but I like to be called Chelly, I don't like it when people spell it Shelly.

Michelle's my middle name and I like it, it's not 'shameful' like some people's middle names. The only thing I don't like is that my brother's middle name is Michael and that's the reason I have Michelle as my middle name.
I think that Michelle is one of the most feminine and prettiest names. There's not a better one out there.
I like this name because it's my middle name ♥ Go me! the only problem is I know way too many Amber Michelles. =[
My name is Michelle, a name not as popular in Australia. Don't get me wrong there are a fair few Michelle's around but I have always felt my name is special. I spell my nickname Chelle rather than Shell because there is no S in my name and it annoys me! I agree that it obviously was more fashionable back in the 80's but I think it is a classic name that will always have a place.

Michelle Tumes is a Christian music artist.
Michelle is my middle name. I personally don't think it is a good first name because it's become so popular it's now a little bland. But that's my opinion.
My little brother that died when he was born is named "Michael". I am honored to share that name with him, who I wish I knew. I adore the meaning, "Who is like the LORD?" I like my middle name overall. I'd give it a 6/10 or 7/10.
The French pronunciation of the name is far better than the English one, but the name is still so overused. I always associate it with the eighties!
I like this name, it is a very pretty name. I have a friend named Michelle and she is really nice so whenever I meet another Michelle I expect the same!
Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar bears this name.
My name is Michelle, and it's a very easy name to work with. I neither like, nor dislike my name, because I'm so used to it, I guess. My middle name is Abbie, which I guess sounds pretty: Michelle Abbie.
This is the name of actress Michelle Federer who played Nessarose in Wicked until January 2006.
My sister's name is Michelle and we all call her Shelli or Shells or Shelli-Belli. Michelle just seemed too long for her.
My only problem with the name Michelle is that its French pronunciation is the same as the pronunciation of the masculine name Michel.
On the English verison of Sailor Moon, Sailor Neptune is named Michelle.
Michelle is the American version of Sailor Neptune in the anime Sailor moon. The Japanese name version's name is Michiru.I think it's a beautiful name, simple because Michelle is one of my favorite characters on the episode, along with her partner and lover, Amara ((Haruka)).
I really don't like this name, even though all the Michelles I know are very friendly and nice.
Michelle Rene Thomas, who starred in the television show "Little Men", is a famous bearer of the name.
I like the meaning of Michelle, which is "Who is like the Lord". It happens to be my real name. The name Michelle is also the English name of Michiru, also known as Sailor Neptune, from the anime show Sailor Moon.
Famous bearer: Michelle Branch (born 2 July 1983), American singer-songwriter, formerly a solo artist but now a member of The Wreckers, and most famous for her hit 'Everywhere'. She is apparently named after the Beatles' song 'Michelle'.
Famous bearer: Actress Michelle Williams from "Dawson's Creek."
Michelle is my middle name, after the aforementioned Beatles song.
I've always liked this name; it's very pretty. I have a friend and a sister with this name. It's very popular, but I still like it. And I believe that the name's popularity will drop with the coming generations, after being so very popular for so long. It will be a classic, I think.
Michelle Rodriguez is an actress. She appeared in "The Fast and the Furious," but is probably best known for her role as Ana-Lucia in the hit T.V. show "Lost."
I think it is a sexy, feminine name. I love names with a "sh" sound in them.
I've NEVER liked this name. It just doesn't sound very nice I think. Maybe it's because it's so popular.
My sister's name is Michelle. I think it is a very pretty name, and has a mind of its own. I don't care that it is the *feminine* form of Michael. It doesn't seem like that, so who should care?
This is my name and I am happy about that. I wish that this name had a meaning of its own other than being a feminization of a male name. I think that this name has a beautiful soft sound, not unlike Sophie. I am happy that such a feminine name need not end in 'a' like Michaela.
Pretty.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michelle Pfeiffer, Michelle Williams
-all owners of this popular name-
Another feminine pet form of Michel I have heard is Michette. I think it's a bit antiquated now, and Michelle and Micheline are more popular.
I love this name. It brings to mind the word "composure". Also used in the great tv show "24" - Michelle Dessler played by the beautiful Reiko Aylesworth.
I love my name! I find it much better than Lisa, because this would have become nearly my name.
Michelle is a very nice name, considering that it is my middle name. And it's *not* just the feminine form of Michael. Michael can also be the masculine form of Michelle. Sorry, I'm a bit of a feminist.
Well, Michelle is my middle name also, and I have to say it IS the feminine form of Michael. The name Michael came first, being mentioned in the Bible written centuries before the name Michelle. I love my name, and I'm glad it means "Who is like the Lord?"
A famous bearer is the multiple-medal-winning figure skater, Michelle Kwan.
Oscar nominated actress Michelle Pfeiffer (The Witches of Eastwick, White Oleander, Dangerous Minds, etc...) is a famous bearer of this name.
A famous bearer of this name is the Mamas and the Papas (a famous 1960s singing group probably best known for their song "California Dreaming") member Michelle Phillips, wife of John Phillips, also a group member (born Holly Michelle Gilliam on June 4, 1944). She kicked off the group for a while, but ended their era with them again in 1968.
Also the name of that dumb annoying little spoiled brat on Full House, Michelle Tanner (as portrayed by the Olsen Twins).
Title of a beautiful song-
Michelle, ma belle, these are words that go together well, my Michelle
Michelle, ma belle, sontles mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bienensemble
I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say until I find a way
I will say the only words I know that you'll understand.I need you, I need you, I need you, I need to make you see oh what you mean to me

I'll get to you somehow until I do I'm telling you so you'll understand
Michelle, ma belle sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bienensemble
I will say the only words I know that you'll understand, my Michelle
It's a Beatles song. John Lennon went through a French phase, and to woo a French girl, Michelle, he wrote a song about her. He doesn't know French fluently, only pretended to so he could impress her.
BookHead is incorrect about the use of this name in the Beatles song Michelle. Firstly, Paul McCartney sang and wrote most of it. Secondly, McCartney and Lennon would make up French sounding songs to sound sophisticated during the Quarymen days (pre-Beatles). The wife of a friend of McCartney's taught French, so he asked her to translate "These are words that go together well," which is "sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble." She also came up with "Michelle, Ma Belle." It's a beautiful song and I always think of it when I hear the name.
Hebrew for "Who is like the lord".
