Question
My name is Michal, and I heard that Michal is a name that causes fertility problems. I am determined to change the name. Why should I change it?
Answer
Michal is a very good name, and it does not cause fertility issues. Michal also gave birth before her death.
For a positive name, I recommend consulting one of the great sages of our generation before changing the name.
