The only birth record for her shows her name to be Michaela Ewuraba O Collinson, mother's name Collinson; therefore it is reasonable to conclude that the 'Boakye' part of the name she used before becoming known as 'Michaela Coel' is her father's name. The 'O' is not a separate name; it is an initial, simply to indicate the presence of another name in the absence of sufficient space to include the whole thing. Given electoral register records for 'Michaela Boakye-Collinson' also show a 'Jasmine Boakye-Collinson', but there is no birth record to match this individual, her elder sister has to be the Jasmin (sic) Odura Quainoa(-)Collinson b. 1985 at Islington (there being no other options available in UK birth records- Note: one record shows the 'Q' as indicative of a second middle name, whereas another hyphenates both as surname; mother's surname is given as 'Quainoa-Collinson' on both). None of the sources provided in this article give 'Moses' as a second part of her first name; although IMDB shows her to have been credited in 2010 under this name, there is no evidence that it reflects her legal name in any meaningful sense whatsoever- performers are often credited in humorous or otherwise significant ways, without the credit being of any legal weight. At any rate, the birth record is clear enough, and must be considered acceptable as a source since it's included here in the first place, presumably. All the other occurrences of 'Michaela-Moses Ewuraba O Boakye-Collinson' seem to be journalists simply looking at Wikipedia for the information. Perhaps one of them should ask what the 'O.' stands for, that'd be some actual use. Perhaps 'Odura', like her sister, if it's a family name? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.2.123.69 ( talk) 00:12, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
I was under the impression that Michaela Coel was transgender, is that not the case? 2604:2000:E01C:7E00:FDB7:C0A7:E9A3:2915 ( talk) 01:05, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
