I heartily dislike
Nicole. I don't like spondees, and the second syllable is so COLd, like a sigh. It is impossible to say '
Nicole' without your mouth turning down at the corners.
Michelle is OK, still very Beatles but why not? I prefer the neater, tidier
Michele, probably because I've got two
Michele friends, one English and one French.
Michele Elizabeth and
Michele Madeleine, to be exact.
So,
Michele and her siblings. They'll be English.
Michele Philippa ClareEloise Rosemary Jean, or
Jennifer Alison Rose. Or both - let's have twins!
