Family (c) Lynda BernhardtMichael … its meaning is "Who resembles God" - Think Baby Names

The baby name Michael is of Hebrew origin. In the Bible, Michael is the archangel who will fight against the “dragon” (against evil) in the end times. Michael is one of the few angels whose name is revealed in the Bible. You can read about the angel Michael in Jude 1:9 and Revelation 12:7.

The baby name Michael has been one of the most popular names in the United States for the last 100 years! In fact, the lowest ranking that the baby name Michael has had in the last 100 years was at #56 back in 1926. Talk about staying power!

The statistics continue to be impressive. The baby name Michael has ranked as either #1 or #2 in every year since 1954! I had no idea that Michael was that popular of a name! See Popular Baby Names for more statistics on the baby name Michael.

ADHD, Bullied,...and Eight Gold Medals

I’ve been away on vacation and only started watching the Olympics yesterday, but I didn’t miss a wonderful interview with Michael Phelps and his mother done by David Costas. Michael won 8 gold medals in swimming at the Beijing Olympics – a new world record, bringing his career total to 14 Olympic medals. This is the single greatest Olympic performance in history.

So besides his incredible talent as a swimmer, what is so special about this young man who appears somewhat oblivious and a tad uninterested in his new stardom? Well, Michael Phelps was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) as a child, a disorder frequently accompanied by multiple challenges and hardships, particularly in school. According to his mother, swimming was a great outlet for his energy, and she made the effort to get him to swimming and keep him involved in it.
