I would like to know the other ways of spelling Michaela.
I know that you can spell it with a k and also a couple of ways with a y. Does anyone know of any other ways to spell it. I just don't want it to look too much like Michael. ------------- ** MUM TO ** Ethan 29/08/2006 Brooke 22/09/2008 |

We like that name too! We will spell it "Mikaela" if this baby is a girl, but according to my baby name book, the alternaive spellings are:
"Michaela" "Mikaela" "Michayla" "Mikayla" ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

Wow that was fast, i like Mikayla. I just didn't want it to be too close to Michael thats all. I couldn't find any books with alternative spelling.
Thanks for your help  ------------- ** MUM TO ** Ethan 29/08/2006 Brooke 22/09/2008 |

I like Michaela. I'm not big on the spellings people use sometimes, like replacing 's' with 'z' or 'ch' with 'k'. I guess I'm just a bit old fashioned like that!!! ------------- Joshua Hadynn - Born 3 May 2006 |

I've also seen it spelt Makayla... no "i"
I like Makeila though? That looks neat. I too LOVE this name and wanted it name our baby this if we have a girl, but hubby doesn't like it. :( ------------- mama_wendz  My Girls: Maddisyn Tylr & Layla-Mei Virginia

I like Mikayla too.. I don't like the spelling "Michaela", I read it as
"Michael-a"  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

i know a wee girl called micaela, and i must say, i love her name if you are one to not like naming kids a certain name because of name association (bad people) there'd be no worries with micaela, the micaela i know is a true sweetie and beautiful, funny etc....  thats just my 2 cents worth!
i'd spell it.... Mikayla

I quite like old fashiomed spellings, esp. for boys
I once saw Zak-Harry. I don't like it. |
