Opinions on Michaela
I'm curious about other people's opinion on Michaela. Do you like it? Hate it? Why? What about all the alternate spellings, do you like any of those?

I’m so sick of hearing this name. Granted, it’s normally spelled like MaKayla or something, but just by the sound I’m sick of it.

Due to the popularity of it, I hate it. Michaela is the only spelling I like. All others make me cringe.

I like the sound of it a lot, but not the spelling. This is a rare case where I much prefer the alternate spellings to the original. Makayla is my own daughter's middle name. I also like Mikayla.

I hate the Kayla sound and spellings of this name.
I really quite love Mikaela with German Mika-ee-lah pronounciation but the McKayla’s and co. ruined it a bit for me

I far prefer Michele or Michelle as the fem form of Michael. The fact that Kayla etc went viral doesn't help. And I find alternate spellings very inconvenient.

Honestly? I hate it, I hate the sound. I probably hate it even more spelled Makayla / Mikaylah etc cos then it looks the way it sounds. However, I don't have a problem with Michael or Michelle.

It's not really my cup of tea. I think Michaela is the prettiest spelling.

Michaela spelled like this is my favorite. When I first heard this name, it was before it became so popular, well before any spelling variations were trending.
Micaela, Mikaela, and Mikayla are ok. I know when you remove the H, it can confuse which pronunciation is correct for that particular person.
