Not trying to be rude, but I'm just wondering if it's really that offending to compare Mikey to Mickey Mouse...I mean, they're both cartoon characters whatnots - and both served their purpose to bring some joy into children's lives (and adults)...so what's the fuss here again?

The correct names are

MICHELANGELO
RAFFAELLO (Raphael ---> Raph)

Michelangelo comes out from Michelangelo Buonarroti a famous 1500 italian artists who made for example the David in Florence.
Raphael comes out form Raffaello Sanzio who made for instance La Trasfigurazione

Thanks for the info, Supermik!

Uh oh, so Raph should be Raff now? Or is Raph the English translation to the Italian name? But Michelangelo is the original Italian version ain't it...so is Raph spelled wrong from the beginning too?

Voltron: There've been worse misspellings of TMNT characters before.

There was even a thread about the misspelling of Krang's name on an eBay auction spelled "Craing".

Uhm, we could say so: the original name of Raphael is RAFFAELLO, Raphael is an english translation of the correct italian name RAFFAELLO.

In italian is correct RAFFAELLO, but in english is correct Raphael.

For example the italian friendly name for Raffaello is Raf (it would be correct for the Turtle and for the people) or Lello (never used for Turles, but usually used for people), so the correct english friendly name is Raph.
I think so...
