The above is how I'd assume a person's name would be spelled, but maybe Michaela not Mikaela.

---

I find Madeline, Breanna, Katherine, Kathryn, Katheryn, Cathryn, etc., Carlie, Kayley, Haylie, Katelyn and Haydn tolerable.

---

I really hate spellings like Makayla/Mikayla, I hate any spelling of Kayden or Jayden because I hate those names, I hate Zooey and Zoey and Zoe with a umlaut on the E if the bearer is from an anglophone country. I don't really like Katharine or Catharine because I always go to pronounce them differently. I hate Allyson.
