Dad or Karen, if you are reading this... please confirm in my comments section :)
I was named after a truck stop waitress on Hwy 1. Discussing names, my dad stopped at a diner and saw the waitress was named Michele with one L. He thought that was unique so that was my name.
True? Well, it makes great party conversation so I hope so.
Hey it's better than Melania which sounds like a venereal disease. However, now that Donald Trump has a wife named Melania everyone is WAY more accepting than they were when I was growing up.
Ho humm.

The truth and nothing but the truth about one "L" Michele. It was 1975 just a few months shy of the big day.Just outside Disneyland was a very popular restaurant formally owned by Richard Nixon before the Watergate scandal of course. Drawn in by the aroma of beef on the grill I sat and looked over the menu .A very nice young lady.....we'll call her M for now,asked politely for an order. As I ordered my fave, burger, fries and a chocolate shake,I noticed M's name was unique.Mmmm "Michele how has that name been for you"? "pardon me?" she replied. I explained I was about to let my unborn daughter be burdened with Melania. A name I could not pronounce let alone get used to saying. I feared nicknames like Mely or Melody or worse...Mel. She assured me having a different spelling of a pretty name made her feel special growing up.So there you have it kiddo.No truck stop.No Diner. Sometimes it's right in front of your face you just have to look I guess.What if it were a boy what would have been his name you ask?Never an option,I wanted a girl. Kinda makes you feel all fuzzy knowing the truth huh?
love you,
dad
Dadmac... I need to meet you... and SOON! Karyn :-)
