Got this from Li-an's blog. I never really thought that my name "Michelle" has meaning... My dad was and is still a big fan of Beatles that's why my parents named me Michelle, which is taken from the Beatle's song, which goes like "Michelle Ma Belle" [meaning Michelle My Beautiful]... Ayus! I like that song kasi nga beautiful daw eh *flips hair*... Hahaha! Moreover, Michelle means "who resembles God". Hmmm... not sure about that though. Hahaha! And then I was also named after St. Ann kasi we were raised in Sta. Ana Manila. My 2 sisters also got Ann in their names... Ann Millaine and Danni Ann. My youngest sis Danni was raised in San Pedro, Laguna but since her 2 sisters got Ann on their names, my mom also put Ann as her second name.

Now I wonder if I myself will have kids, what names will I give them...
Hmmm... I think I already have few ideas but only for girl's names. Hehehe! I will just let Jay-ar to come up with guy's names.
