Hi !!!

I prefer Micaela or Michaëla both pronounced mee-kah-EH-lah.

Michelle is cheesy and was trendy in Italy in early 2000s and a bit later.

English influence.

For example, here in Spain:

Vanessa, Jessica, Jennifer, Michael, Kevin and Richard started being used in the late 80's and early 90's, and peaked since then.

I understand but why the early 2000s like was there a movie or show with that name that was popular in Italy with the name Michelle?
