In the Netherlands, we usually spell Michael as Michaël. Nowadays, if one doesn't spell the name with 'ë', people will usually pronounce it in the American way, which bugs me. People in Germany used to pronounce Michael as Michaël (I know my grandmother does), but I doubt they still do that nowadays.

Anyway, let me get to the point - this board says that Michaël is the Dutch spelling, but does this occur in Germany as well? Is the spelling Michaël as German as it is Dutch?

Thank you in advance!
