twins

5 month old boy/girl twins: Mika (said like Micah) and Makyla (said: ma-KYE-la).

WDYT?

makyla? really? "mak-ee-lah" is what that says. i'm assuming they were going for makayla or however people spell it these days? that's like when i met a baby named mehgan. um no.

thumbs down on both. micah is a fine name, but having it spelled mika just says "mee-kah" to me. and the only mika in my heart is the one who pronounces it like it looks and sings upbeat songs about fat girls and movie legends.

Aw, my name is Mika but its PN Myka, which of course everyone gets wrong.

I like both the names.

I like Mika spelled better as Micah, but its a nice name. Makyla's alright.

Not a big fan of the girl name, but I like Micah. :)

I hate "matching" names for twins.

Mika looks really feminine to me. I like the name Micah, though. Not a fan of Makyla or Michaela.
Makyla sounds kind of like Michaela with an Australian accent, if you say it out loud.
