Michal is a very popular girls' Hebrew name in the Jewish community. I've known several online and a couple IRL. It seems to be popular for girls bat mitzvah age to three years older. To be honest, I've never seen it used on a non-Jewish person, but doesn't mean they're not out there. :) I rather like it. In Hebrew, it's pronounced "mee-KHAHL."

I don't like the look of Kassandra and the way I'm pronouncing Michal, the two names don't flow very well together. This combo isn't for me.

As for nicknames, outside of Micki/Mickie and Mimi, the only nickname I'm aware of (that I've heard used) is Michale.
