GertrudeshusbandWilbur Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Why do people change their names by one letter? I think my family is supposed to have done that a long time ago. Why not keep the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoppappop Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 maybe MIKA is more record-seller than mica penniman... catchier... you remember 4 letters better than a whole name... To separate private life (real name) and business... speculations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma<3mika Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 yer spose but he could have just changed it to mica...but maybe thats what he prefered...i dno! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babspanky Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Wasn't it about pronunciation? We do have a girl singer called Mica Paris, pronounced Meesha. He did mention about the pronunciation in interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cautionary Wife Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 That's right. "Because everyone was calling me 'Maika', or 'Mischa'." CW. Wasn't it about pronunciation?We do have a girl singer called Mica Paris, pronounced Meesha. He did mention about the pronunciation in interviews.

Yoppappop Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Oh ? Never heard of that... Sorry for the previous false reasons ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babspanky Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 But MIKA has more impact than his full name I think, so I kind of agree with you on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotdlp Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 if u go on the Mika interview on hit40uk.com he like says a bit of the advert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisylou Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 you prob know but MIKA is short for Michael. Its also his daddys name. I did read that his middle name is Holbrook?. On the disc catalogs he calls himself Mika(8) not too sure what the 8 is for. Is the British Airways jingle the one that a quartet of girls sing? think there is 4 of them and are called Angels/ Angelis or something the type that always come out at Christmas so Grannies will buy it! xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GertrudeshusbandWilbur Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 maybe MIKA is more record-seller than mica penniman... catchier... you remember 4 letters better than a whole name... To separate private life (real name) and business... speculations. Just having four letters looks good on tickets I think. Sometimes a name change can be a bit annoying. My family are supposed to have changed the family name from Chippendale to Chippindale and it seems to be different to every other family of Chippe/indales on the planet. It means that practically every one spells it wrong including some one I have known since I was about five Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mireille Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Mica Penniman is a nice name. He could have kept it because it does fits him but MIKA sounds and looks good, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
