Michelangelo means Who is like God. An angel.
April just means the obvious Opening, 4th Month
Casey means Brave
Irma means Complete one
Vernon means Youthful
Those were the only ones I could find but I thought it was kind of interesting. I think the meanings of the turtles names fit them really well.

The names Michael and Raphael were actually names of 2 of the 4 arch-angels (3rd one was named Gabriel, and I forget the 4th one). But Michael is said to be the most powerful of all of God's angels in Heaven. Which is why the name means Who is like God. Food for thought. (I wonder if that's why Michael Jordan was so good at basketball?)
