photojenny14 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 ok... but how do you know this? how do know that the source you got this from is right? has anyone ever actually asked him or one of his family members or seen one of his legal documents? (i doubt it ) until i get some kind of concrete evidence, as far as i know, his name is MIKA. lol if i get to meet him on june 15 (hopefully i will) i'll ask him and let all of you know.

Pamette Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I would like to know if for englsih people "Mica" is the nickname for "Michael". If it's not the case, there is no reason to say that "Michael" is his first name. For me, "Mike" is the nickname of "Michael" or "Mickael".

I've never heard the name 'Mica' as a nickname for Micheal before . Maybe it's something Lebanese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamette Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Is there a lebanese person who can help us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.I.K.A Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Well, I know that his birth name is: Michael Holbrook Penniman. First, his stage name was Mica, but for many people it was hard to spell, so now it's Mika. Why his nickname can't be Mica. Michael - Mica, why not? in lebonan maybe:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photojenny14 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 ok seriously, i dont know how else to put this. HOW do you know his birth name is michael holbrook penniman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LebAngel Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I've never heard the name 'Mica' as a nickname for Micheal before . Maybe it's something Lebanese. no it's not Lebanese, but it is a french nickname for Michael.....so as he spent 8 years in France so maybe his friend called him Mica... Personally i'm quite convinced of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.I.K.A Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 but actually it's not a big deal:) mika is still the best! and I think that his name is Michael Holbrook Penniman, he say it in many interviews. my english is baD. and when you search from google: michael holbrook penniman, you find pictures of mika! and I think that Mica is his nick name. So, his name is Michael Holbrook Penniman:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Yeah, but *Mika* never ever verbally said that his name was really Michael. I think that probably his parents named him Mica, sort of a shortening of Michael, after his father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruth Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Yeah, but *Mika* never ever verbally said that his name was really Michael. I think that probably his parents named him Mica, sort of a shortening of Michael, after his father. Maybe.....yes My daughter is Helen on her birth certificate but ALWAYS called Nell - school, passport, bank everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avoca Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 imdb lists him as mica penniman aka mika XII (which i found extremely efficient but totally hilarious..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LebAngel Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 :biggrin2: I like this thread!!!! We could stay here & talked about it for days :biggrin2: Well I think that the best solution is to ask him!!!

Pamette Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I may be completely wrong, but I fear he may want to dribble this question also. It's possible. I think he doesn't like personal questions and i would do the same thing if i was in his shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackViolet Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Yes, do ask. I think his birth name is Mica, not Michael. Look at his siblings' names: Yasmine, Paloma, Allegra, Fortune, and... Michael? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolijn Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I think Micheal is his offÃcial name and that Mica is his réal name I'll try to explain, but sometimes the name of a baby is like, ehm... Margaret Jenna Blabla - that's her whole name, and then in then the birth card says something like: 'and we call her Jenna' XD Damn, can't explain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LebAngel Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 yeh.....maybe ......it's possible too.....he & his family are the only ones who know the truth...but as he is the first boy in the family maybe he took his father name ( for the tradition)....actually i can't imagine his father playing an instrument, knowing that he was against the fact that his son will be a singer..... well in Lebanon there's a tradition wich wants that the first boy take his grand father name...but I dunno.... I agree with you on the fact that Mika will never tell us!!!! Mika still Mika wherever his real name is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I wonder what he would say if a fan went up and asked him, though? You know, off the record, no reporters around or anything...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paula.pop Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 I think this only proves how clever Mika is-no one can be ever sure what in his case is truth and what is not...the whole thing gets even more confusing he he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
