<p>My friend Michelle goes by Miki (like Mickey) or Meems. Hehe.</p>
<p>Honestly nicknames are a pain. My initals are MEG and i've gone by that my whole life. once it comes to legal things i have to sign my real name (mary) and people get really confused. if you want to make your life more confusing then go ahead and change your name to miki or whatever you want. as a nickname, like people calling you that to your face, etc, that is one thing. but going all out and signing papers and the whole deal with your "new name" can be a big pain.
just speaking from a lifetime of experience...</p>
<p>Mika - cute and fun
Chelle - like Shelly but spelt different is cool
Mische - sounds weird but spelling is cool
Mischa - probably the best along with Mika </p>
<p>Have fun picking your new name, and remember... it's going to stick!</p>
<p>Go with T-Bone, that is a cool nickname.</p>
<p>'Elle' is cute and is actually contained in your name (unlike some weird suggestions mentioned above). Makes me think of Legally Blonde and hey, who wouldn't want to have a college experience like Elle's? XD Minus the idiot bf, of course.</p>
