I like it. I know of someone who has it as a middle name but it's spelt Mikaela.

Fab. My friend is Makayla. I like the Michaela spelling more though.

I don't like it at all I'm afraid. It's in the Mercedes / Chardonnay group for me

Tinnie - really? The one I know is in her 50s - I don't know that many people used Mercedes/Chardonnay 50 years ago?

She's also never seen her name with that particular spelling so it's interesting you've said that.

I'm not keen, though it's perfectly ok. Definitely not hideous.

Only one I have heard of is Michaela Strachan, TV presenter

Not keen. It's just Michael with an a on the end.
What about Marcella?

Yes sorry, I went to school with a couple. I'm 28 if that gives context.

I like it. But do not mess with the spelling.

I highly recommend it Wink

SilverLiner · 27/03/2017 20:17

It's nothing like Chardonnay, etc. and doesn't sound like Michael with an a on the end, so don't know why it matters that it looks like that.

Why would I mess with spelling??

Thanks for comments.

I love it! Had a lovely friend at primary school with this name. Also makes me think of Michaela Strachan, so for me, it's 80s tastic and overdue a revival. Smile

It's not my favourite but I don't mind it.
