I know it's been used as a girl's name sparsely in the past, and I actually don't hate it, but because Michael is SUCH a popular male name, it seems cruel to use it for a girl. She'll always, always be mistaken for a male in name only. At least with Taylor or Peyton there's some question, but not with Michael, really. Just setting her up for some confusion.

The only female Michael I've ever actually met was a little girl (probably in her early 20s now) named Ann Michael, who went by both names, and was named after her father.
