What do you think of these?

We have a family in our church with three daughters, and the 2 oldest are interestingly named - Jaala [Jahh-la] (12) and Mikaeli [Mi-kay-lee] (10). The youngest is Mia (7), which is a more common name these days.

What do you think of these two names in particular?

Mik-ay-lee. It's actually quite pretty.

And Jaala is [Jahh-la].

Hmm...

I guess I like it because it really suits the little girl!

thats the problem (in my opinion) can you honestly picture a grown woman walking around introducing herself as mikaeli? give me a break. so maybe its cute now, and too many people (again, imo) forget that their cute little baby is going to grow up someday and need to go on job interviews and do other things where they need to be taken seriously and theyll most likely be needing a name that is fit for something more than a doll.
