Pretty! I love this name! And what makes it inspiring is there are two siblings in Belgium, one who is 21, and one is 13, and they both have progeria. Especially the older twin, Michiel made it 9 years past the life expectancy, 12 years old. Amber made it 1 year so far.

This is the name of my brother. People call him Michiel but he has a lot of nicknames like Giel, Giechel and Giebel. I usually call him Giel or Michiel.
