Helio Castroneves (Indy 500 winner, Dancing with the Stars champ) and his girlfriend have had their first child, a daughter named Mikaella. I assume it's pronounced Michaela, but it's a new spelling for me. The double-L's make me want to say it differently, though, so I'm not sure.

WDYT?

When I see Michaela, I think 'Michael-la'. But, yes, the doubt l's make me want to say it weirdly.

I'm not a fan of that name, but I like it better with the K than the CH.

ditto on Micheal-a.
Michela is the italian version that is pronounced Mee-KEH-lah, and possibly what all these kr8vv spellings are trying to get at.

Mikaella isn't one of the worse, imo, but I do want to read it Mee-ka-ELLA.
