I find it very naff.

Flippingecktucker · 27/03/2017 22:52

It's a pretty name. A friend has a Michaela, she's known as Micky. Very sweet.

Love it

Didiusfalco · 28/03/2017 18:52

Feels 80s to me, in the same vein as people being called Bryony, Carly, Roberta etc. Seems to be out of favour at the moment- depends whether you mind that?

SuperBeagle · 28/03/2017 21:13

I don't like it.

Michaela was very popular here in Australia in the 1980s and 1990s. But it was most often spelt Mikayla or Makayla etc.

Just a bit outdated, IMO, and liable to being misspelt often.

Pretty.

Awful

AlwaysLookOnBrightsideOfLife · 28/03/2017 23:28

I like it, but then the person I know named it is a world renowned researcher so good connotations for me. Travels well across other languages from what I know too. Although some countries spell it Mihaela but pronounce it the same as Michaela.

BasicBetty · 29/03/2017 11:35

It's ok. Definitely prefer the Michaela spelling though.

namechange20050 · 29/03/2017 11:37

I quite like it. I know a few in their 30s so it must be due a revival!

ArseyTussle · 29/03/2017 11:40

I'm not keen, sorry. For me it's not a very attractive word to say or written down. Not saying girls' names have to be frilly, by any means, I love strong names, just not this one. Smile

HardcoreLadyType · 29/03/2017 11:46

I like it.

TheColonelAdoresPuffins · 29/03/2017 11:52

I like it

BadTasteFlump · 29/03/2017 11:55

I like it - but only with the traditional spelling.

Reow · 29/03/2017 12:01

No, sorry.

It's 80's but not in a good way.

Lemonnaise · 29/03/2017 13:40

I like it, it's quite popular here in Ireland. I also like your spelling the best.

Lemonnaise · 29/03/2017 13:42

Hmm And? Terrible, snotty attitude.

Purpledaffodils · 30/03/2017 10:35

It's ok but starting to sound outdated now. Plus the Michaela I know gets called Micky for short which sounds naff.
