McKayla

[neon552]

Thoughts on this name for a baby girl?
I like McKayla Rose

I would assume you were hard of thinking. Sorry.

It's awful, sorry

Michaela please!

Oh lord, why would you spell it that way?

Please spell it Michaela. Or even Mikala if you must have a more "alternative" spelling.

That would be a "no" from me.

No mad keen the correct spelling either, but then maybe it'll be back in fashion soon.

Please dont. You're popping her straight into a lifetime of people judging her...

its ridiculous

I'm sorry but it's horrible and I'm already judging you/her.

McKayla as in Michaela? Spelt with a Mc and Kayla because you’re oh so kree8iv?

Very yoonique hun

Awful spelling. Not nice name.

Dreadful

It's just reminds me of a McDonald's burger.

no

Just no

I still really love mckayla but I guess it’s time to get back to the drawing board.

Thanks everyone, however frankly patronising some of you were
—doesn’t hurt to be kind—

It's wonderful! If you hate your baby...

I still really love mckayla but I guess it’s time to get back to the drawing board.

Not really - I’m sure most people like the name Michaela. Why is not being able to spell it so bizarrely a deal breaker here?

I dislike Michaela

In Canada this sort of thing was rampant 20 years ago, still to an extent. People a couple of hundred years from their Scots roots forgetting what Mc means. I’ve seen McKayla, Mackaila, McKala, McCailla. You make it, people spell it. I can’t even see Michaela now without grimacing.

I think when it comes to baby names it’s best to hear how people really feel. If everyone was being tactful you might still go for it.

There's an American gymnast named McKayla. I'd assume you're American.

It's not the worst the worst name.

Here she is.

Being Scottish I wouldn't think of anything starting with mc as a first name as it's very common for surnames.

I have seen names, especially American names like that.

To be honest while I wouldn't use that name that doesn't matter what I or anyone else thinks if you like that name and want to name your child that then that's all that matters!

I dislike Michaela

How?? It’s the same name! For the most part, a name is for saying out loud - surely liking the sound of it is what’s important. I don’t see how an arrangement of letters can change how you feel about a name
