Maybe read it with a different pronunciation? In my country we have both Micheal (my-kol) and Mikael (mee-kah-ehl).
unfortunately I can't think of it that way, his name is spelled exactly the same as my boss letter for letter and even the 'nickname' the MC gave him is the same as the nickname my boss uses
thank you for trying to help me with this tough
maybe you are in the novel
jk
too bad the dukes name is the same as my boss'....aint no way i can take this seriously after that
