Which spelling?

Got a looong way to go but DP and I both like the name Michaela.

Which spelling is best - Mikayla or Michaela?

I’m a teacher and know what people think about crazy spellings but I also have known a child called Michael who was the spawn of Satan so it puts me off that spelling.

I'd go for the 'normal' spelling. IMO the other one is tacky Blush

I do know a lady who spells in Michala, if that makes it any better?

Michaela

Michaela for sure. Lovely name (spelt this way).

SionnachRua · 25/10/2020 21:55

Definitely Michaela, a much classier option.

DramaAlpaca · 25/10/2020 21:54

Michaela. It appears to be unanimous Grin

I didn't realise they are pronounced the same!

Ok thanks for everyone’s input!! I can see that this is probably going to descend into a pile on so Michaela it is!

Michaela. Mikayla is an awful spelling.

Fuck 🙄
Have you just spelt it differently fit your daughter?

@Bobblehatwobble

Definitely Michaela.

GreasyFryUp · 25/10/2020 21:30

Fuck 🙄

Michaela I feel the other spelling looks like it's from a European country possibly

PattyPan · 25/10/2020 21:23

Another vote for Michaela!

MeMeMeYou · 25/10/2020 21:23

Michaela. The other way is a bit tacky, whereas Michaela is not.

LittleDoritt · 25/10/2020 21:21

Michaela all the way.

MegaBloxRoxx · 25/10/2020 21:17

Michaela 100%

HeronLanyon · 25/10/2020 21:12

Almost anything but Mickayla. Absolutely awful misspelling of a pretty name.

RusholmeRuffian · 25/10/2020 21:11

Michaela

CherieBabySpliffUp · 25/10/2020 20:47

How about Mackayla as an alternative?
I have seen one recently Shock

Jellycat00 · 25/10/2020 20:45

Michaela. You'll soon associate it with your beautiful daughter and forget about the boy you taught.
Lovely name!
