Help[Facts] Re: That is one weird answer... n/t
in reply to a message by Magia
Not really! If someone in the situation Andy describes wanted her - more likely, his - son to go through life with a Yah! Boo! Sucks! name, then Michael would fit perfectly.
The problem is that the name wasn't, presumably,invented by the delighted parents since it's used for one of the few angels in the old testament. So, either it's a Yah! Boo! Sucks! name used as a kind of challenge to the enemy - he was a warrior archangel, whatever that might be - (like little boys boasting that My dad can thump your dad), or it's a remnant of a polytheistic past in which Michael himself was a god. In which case it's a statement. Who is like god - that's me!
