Michaele Razi: Hello. My name is Michaele Razi.

My first name is spelled like Michael but with an "e" at the end, but it is pronounced Mickaele. My mom named me after my grandfather. His Japanese name was Migiyo, and his American name was Michael, so she just put the two together and named me Michaele.

I've heard lots of variations growing up. I've heard Michaela, Michelle, Michael, Michaeli was my favorite. And it's a little tough because it doesn't really look the way it's spelled, but it is pronounced Michaele.

And then my last name is Razi, and it's a Persian last name, which is from the Middle East where Iran is. So that's how you pronounce my name, Michaele Razi.
