Biblical names hot choices for babies today (News-press.com)
My favorite howler is:
� Michael. A perpetual favorite, from the Hebrew, and means "he who is like God," "Godly" or "close to God."
Michael means "Who is like God?" - a rhetorical question whose answer is "nobody." The translation they give is impossible (and perhaps a bit blasphemous), because Mi in Hebrew is an interrogative pronoun that means "who" when asking a question. "He who" would be another word entirely.
