...just wondering if anyone has a strong reaction about this name (good or bad - I can take it)...

It sounds late 70s/early 80s - I knew several at school from that era. It's also not (sorry!) the classiest of names.

HonoriaGlossop · 29/09/2008 12:11

really don't like it

think it's not an attractive name at all

Not my cup of tea to be honest.

Kayla or Mickey not too bad as shortened versions though

FlirtyThirty · 29/09/2008 12:35

Thanks ladies...I was undecided...think you are all right though...not the best choice. Will move on...

no,don't like it. It's not a very pretty name and is dated, belongs in the 70s imo, just makes me think of Michaela Strachen the kids presenter

JuneBugJen · 29/09/2008 14:43

Its a bit 80's, also due to michaela Strachen.

I'd say no - my best friend is called that and she doesn't like it and is never called it by anyone - a tutor of ours at art school used to pronounce it Mik-i-ay-la - and any shortenings are not nice
