Hee hee!! Why thank you! That's actually Ralfie in the avatar tho, Mikey is me (or Michael, to be more precise

) To make a long story short, my mother's brother is named Michael and she vowed to name her first child Michael. As luck would have it I was a female, and my parents thought it would be super cool to have a daughter with a boy's name

. Elementary school wasn't fun, and the internet can make things confusing, but for better or worse, people always remember it!
As for your husband, I COMPLETELY agree. Once you start taking care of these little guys you realize its not just a fashion accessory. And even if it was- so what?
