Anneliese (I prefer this spelling) is alright, but getting too popular for my tastes.
Makailey, no matter how you spell it, is just bad imo. It is just another Mc- name to me, even though it starts with Ma-, and a horrible butchering of
Michaela, which is a real name. Adding Mc- to any name/mixture of letters (i.e.
McKenna,
McKenzie, McKayla...and furthermore Mc means "son of"!) is like calling your child McNugget or McFlurry. Just tacky.
Edited to add: I pronounce Anneliese/Annalise, etc. like ANNA-lease, but the other prns are nice, too.
