Some Cantoneese people did it. They translate foreign names this way: try to make them sound Chinese.

 

[吾言]

I don't think only people speaking Cantonese does that.

Normally, western names are translated into something like this "辛迪・希恩"...

满地可 is a typical Cantonese translation.

“庄美楷”is good, more looks like Chinese name

如果用粤语读，音就很象了。

But she is not a Chinese. Why make it a Chinese name if she does not have one.

"ch" 的法语发音和普通话的"歇"是最接近的, 所以音译成"米歇儿"最贴切的.
