Talk:Michael (given name)

message: In the second paragraph is written:
"although there are women with the name Michael, such as Michael Learned and Princess Michael of Kent"
Princess Michael is not named Michael. Her husband is Prince Michael, and so she is styled Princess Michael just as the wife of John Doe can be called Mrs John Doe. 
I think the reference should be removed. Michaelphonic (talk) 08:53, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Princess Michael 

message: British Royal Family
    Prince Michael of Kent (born 1942), cousin of Elizabeth II
    Princess Michael of Kent (born 1945), author and wife of Prince Michael
In what way is Princess Michael of Kent 'a ruler named Michael'? If my name is Eric the Bold and my wife is refered to as Mrs Eric the Bold, does that make my wife a ruler named Eric?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.155.167.173 (talk) 14:19, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

message: In the Orthodox Church, Saint Michael's principal feast day is November 8 (November 21 by most Orthodox churches since they use the Julian calendar), where he is honored along with the rest of the "Bodiless Powers of Heaven" (i.e. angels) as their Supreme Commander.

replies: text: The article clearly states:- "In Hebrew, "מיכה" (Mikha) [ˈmiχa] is a common shortened form of "מיכאל" (Mikha'el)"  I agree this is not in the list, but Wikipedia prefers text descriptions to lists where possible.Before there are any accusations of bias, the very next sentence is "In Arabic, it is "میکائیل" (Mīkāʼīl; pronounced [miːkæːˈʔiːl]" and Arabic is not in the list either.

thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request on 29 January 2014 

message: It has already been pointed out that Princess Michael of Kent should not be included here as it is not truly her name but simply a title derived from her husband's name. The reasoning for this is that she was not born a princess but became one through marriage. Her actual name (as distinct from Royal title) is given in the Wikipedia entry for her as "Baroness Marie Christine Anna Agnes Hedwig Ida; née von Reibnitz" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Michael_of_Kent. Although I cannot profess to knowing what her family and friends call her I am willing to bet it's not "Michael", perhaps just Marie, her first given name.
Can we please remove the title "Princess Michael of Kent" from this article as it is not strictly a name.

message: The second closing parenthesis in the first sentence does not have a corresponding open parenthesis: Michael /ˈmaɪkəl/ is a male given name that comes from the Hebrew: מִיכָאֵל / מיכאל‎ (Mīkhāʼēl, pronounced [miχaˈʔel]), derived from the question מי כאל mī kāʼēl) 208.253.23.130 (talk) 19:09, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  unbalanced parens 

message: I see this a lot,  and assume it is typically just a mistake by people who can't spell properly.   But recently, I've been told that this is the correct spelling in Ireland,   and that it properly should have some kind of accent mark as well.  There isn't any wikipedia entry for "Micheal",  it just re-directs straight to "Michael".   If correct,  it should probably be added either to the list of variant forms near the top,  or to the list of equivalent names in other European countries.
