Well, I got a lot of responses to last night's poll, so let's try another one shall we? I've seen lots of variations lately of Michaela, even more than I had seen of Caitlin, so I'm expecting to see lots of "Other" responses.

[Poll #670205]


****Edit**** Wow, I guess I learned a lesson in my need to spell check stuff I post. I know so many Michaels and Michaelas, and I think that's just about the only name I've never mispelled before (heck, I sign my name as "Megna" all the time because I type too fast). So, anyway, that first one is supposed to be, you know, spelled correctly and all. Sorry about that.

I prefer the spelling where it doesn't exist, personally.

Well, I like the first way you spelled Michaela, which is Michael-a... and it's not in your poll!

I prefer Michaela (the way you spelled initially in your post) to Micheala, which is the way you spelled it in the poll.

*facepalm* You even spelled the REAL non-bastardized version of the name wrong. M-I-C-H-A-E-L-A. Michael with an a.

None of the above, but I do like the name Michellie/Michaellie/Mikaley. <- There's not a good way to spell it, but it's a beautiful name.

I like Makayla but I accidentally hit other.

I hate the original spelling b/c I hate that it comes from Michael...I like girls' names that are names in their own right, not feminized versions of male names. And Makayla makes it more uniquely female.

I like Michaela. It is the most femminine, and most beautiful.

Like everyone else seems to have been, my "other" vote was for Michaela

I agree with the first comment, I prefer the Michaela that isn't a name. It reminds me too much of Mcdonalds, I don't see how it ever got to be so damn popular, I really dislike the name entirely.

Can't say that I like it at all.. but if you are going to use it at least spell it right.

Yes!

I love the name Makayla really no matter how you spell it, but because one of my closest firend's daughter is named Michaela (after her daddy Michael). IF I were to use it I just wouldn't spell it Michaela... it looks too much like Michael with an a sound at the end. Michael-a bleh. Makayla, though very popular, is very cute.

I'm not a big fan of this name, but I chose Makayla.

My boyfriend's brother's name is: Michele

Which is Mik-ee-la. I'm not sure how to pronounce
your name..so I thought it was close. ♥

I thought it was such a cool/pretty name when "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" was on. On the show, it was spelled Micheala or Michaela. I hate the trendy spellings of it. Heck, it was on my list back then, and now it's off, because it's so overused.

I around before the show (I'm 23), I think they named Dr Quinn after me. ;)

I voted other for my spelling - Makalah.
I do see it a lot of other ways, Mechaela, Mikayla, Makayla, etc. but nothing like mine.
