Any thoughts on this name? It's unusual, but I think it's nice.

I like Michal, to an extent.I'd just be afraid it would be mispronounced or people'd think she was a guy.

My friend is named Michal. I don't like it very much, though - it doesn't sound feminine or pretty at all. To be honest, I find it masculine and dull.

I love it in theory, but in an English-speaking country it would be read as a tryndeigh Michael. And it would constantly be mispronounced, too.

Like the girl from Wristcutters? I think hers is spelled Mikal. It's not egregious but it's NMSAA.

Is it pronounced like MEE-shawl? If it is, I love it. It's it's anything like Mitchell or Michael I'm really not for it.

NoJael was the one that killed Sisera. Michal was King Saul's younger daughter who married David.

No, it isn't the same name. I think it's also pronounced differently.
