Congrats! I like Andrew. It's not one I'd use myself, but it's a respectable name nonetheless.

Yay, congratulations! Hope they are all doing well. For some reason, that combo sounds very familiar. I think my cousins kid might be Andrew Michael. Any idea why you parent's choose the spelling Mykle? Just curious.

Yes, I do, kind of an involved story LOL :)

First of all they loved the name Michael.My dad was a high school biology teacher. The school he taught in had a very rigid social class structure among the students. One day he had a new student in his class. He misread the name Michael as Michelle. The kids wouldn't let up on "Michelle", and they ended up beating him after school. He was picked on the rest of the year, and all the kids called him "Michelle".So, he felt bad about the incident. Some how he thought that spelling my brother's name a different way would prevent the same mistake happening to him (not that it ever would). Ironically His name is constantly mispronounced, and on paper people have mistaken him for a girl.

Aww, congrats. I'm not a fan of the spelling of Michael, but it makes sense.

Yes, even my brother is not a fan of how his name is spelled. I believe they debated for a long time whether they should use it or not.
