McKayla

[neon552]

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

Not great. McKayla loudhailer.

Imagine 20 years down the line one of these poor unfortunate McKaylas or McKenzies or McKennas marries someone with a Mc name.

I would avoid the 'Mc' because the faux-surname thing is a bit odd. Michaela is fine though, or even Makayla or Mikayla.

My dad suggested the name Alana Michaela for one of my daughters names, apparently he'd suggested it for mine, my mum vetoed it. They're the female versions of his name. I like both individually but not together unfortunately

I don’t think the name is as bad as other posters suggest. I’m rather a traditionalist but realise younger mothers have other views and tastes in names.
How about Kayla. Does that do anything for you OP?
McKenzie seems to have been accepted generally as an ok name ( probably not by MN, though!
I just can’t see why the original meaning has to affect your choice. An awful lot of what are considered English names are adapted (mangled) versions of Hebrew, Greek names from the Hebrew and Ancient Greek names, Germanic names, Romance names etc etc. Genuinely old English names are nowadays regarded as too unpronounceable, too try hard or ugly to use.
