Hate Mac- names, and I hate the Mik- spelling even more. Sorry.

It's awful.

Unless, of course, you are naming a sparkly fairy princess who will be 4 years old forever.. then it's wonderful. =)

No, I don't like it. In fact, it makes me want to rip my eyes out a little.

I love it

HAHAHHA WORD!

All rise for Supreme Court Justice Mikaelyn Sunshine Madison Flowers!

i'm glad SOMEONE agrees :(

Dislike it. Michaela is the original spelling of the name, all the Makayla/Mikala/M'Cayler stuff is just phonetic disintegration. Bad move. Mikyla, as you've written it, would be pronounced mih-kye-la. Not the effect you're going for, I suspect. Mikaelyn is closer, phonetically, but looks like two names got mashed together and couldn't be disentangled.

i think it's pretty dreadful. the m-kay names sound too harsh.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

no, way too trendy sorry.

[cluckydude.livejournal.com]

Way too trendy, way too youneek.

The traditional spelling is Michaela, and it's gotten way, way, way popular. If that doesn't bother you, it's a good name. I like it. I just don't like the phonetic butchering it has gone through.

Hideous.

i am at the point where i despise any form of michaela - mikaelyn, mikaylee, whatever. theyre all toddlers names. just horrible.

[holly-megan.livejournal.com]

I like just Kaylin better. I'm just not a fan of the MAC names.

I don't mind Michaela, it sounds pretty and it's one letter off from spelling my grandmother's name so it doesn't give me a super trendy connotation. I also have a friend whose name is pronounced the same way, but spelled Macala. It suits her and I like it - she's also 20, not 4. But any other spelling with y's or ae's just drives me nuts, looks too immature like a 12-year-old named her...I can't stand it.

I'm sorry, it's not good. All the screwy spellings and versions of Michaela have been done to death, and most of them a good 5-10 years ago. And -lyn names too. It's like you're jumping on the trendy train, but too late, as all the other passengers have already moved on to the next fresh trend.

[scintillated.livejournal.com]

I don't like it. It looks like someone couldn't decide between Mikaela and Kaylin.

[heyitsrebecca.livejournal.com]

ROFL

Wait, actually, I feel like crying.. ;)

If your main goal is to pick a name that almost everyone likes, I'd suggest you take a look at the top ten list, that's why they're popular.

But if you just pull a name out of thin air, people are probably going to hate it. That's life.

So either grow a thicker skin, or name her Emily. I don't know what else to tell you.

Judging from a few of your posts, you really need to get away from the uber trendy crap. That means ditch the Mck-girl names, the -aden boy names, and a warning for future use, don't name after cities.

Real names are preferrable. People seem to forget that these people will have to grow up with these names for good. It's not like naming a puppy.

It's not my main goal to pick a name that everyone likes, and no, i do not need to grow a thicker skin, all i was asking is if people liked it or not, but whatever.

"Real names are preferrable. People seem to forget that these people will have to grow up with these names for good. It's not like naming a puppy."


No, I know it isn't like naming a puppy.
I just hate plain names like James, Robert, Harry, Sophie etc...

[poespretty.livejournal.com]

I have to agree. It seems like this name combines the most awful of trends (including the "Made Up Combo of Several Not Good Names" category) and is just not good.

My sister named my niece Mikayla, and I tried to gently nudge her toward Michaela (which I think is a nice name, personally) but she decided to butcher it instead. *sigh*

[xnaivetex.livejournal.com]

Then find something in the middle. Something sweet and not plain, but not on the other extreme like Shayden and Mikaelyn.
