Comments for the name Mikayla

Comments for MIKAYLA:

This name is supposed to be spelled Michaela. I dislike it. It's too trendy.

I love the name Mikayla. It sounds cool.

I hate all of these dreadful spellings of Michaela; spelling it differently does not make it a different name, let alone "unique".

I love this spelling of the name. It is different and even though it does not change the name's pronounciaton or meaning I think it is easier to spell than Michaela. Michaela is the name of a girl at my school and substitutes always say Michael-a instead of Ma-kay-la. She gets so annoyed.

I really like this name, but I was actually surprised to find it was an alternate spelling for Michaela. Personally, I like this spelling far more than I like "Michaela". Even if there's no change in the meaning or pronunciation, I prefer Mikayla for the simple fact that it makes the name seem like more than just the feminine form of "Michael". Even though it's not really, I like it not being as obvious.

Mikayla sounds a little childish to me.

My little sister's name is Mikaila. I like this name even though I only like 3 spellings: Mikaila, Mikayla, and Macayla. The others are a smidge too creative.

I think Mikayla and other misspellings of Michaela have become so popular that many parents chosing this name for their daughters have no idea that it's the feminine form of Michael. I think Michaela is a lovely name, but I simply can't stand Mikayla or any of the other trendy spellings.

I really don't like this spelling or any other modern spellings of this name. I prefer the original Michaela and the Scandinavian version Mikaela.

A character on the Disney show Hannah Montana is called Mikayla.

It's gross. Mikayla is a bastard child of Michaela. Please don't use this name (spelled this way) on your child.

Trendy, trashy and vapid.

I prefer this spelling over the traditional "Michaela" any day. I didn't even know that "Michaela" was pronounced the same way as "Mikayla" until someone told me. The fact that it has "Michael" in it just makes me wanna say "Michael-uh" every time. Screw tradition, don't name your kid with the hideous "Michaela"!
