[Opinions] Michaela : How do you pronounce it?

Quick question: How do you pronounce Michaela?

From what it seems the vast majority of people pronounce it like Mikayla, but I personally say it as MIE-KAL-LA. Basically like Michael with an A.

On that note, I suppose which spelling do you prefer more? Michaela, Mikayla, Makayla or McKayla?

I have always pronounced it like the name Makayla. It's my cousin's name.

Out of the spellings, I like Makayla or Mikaela the best. However, I really love the class Michaela has.

I am a Czech, so I do pronounce as MI-kha-eh-la. "kha" is a Ch letter like in Bach.

I'm a Dane and in Denmark, it's always been done like they do in Germany, due to the proximity and such. If I encounter it on an English-speaking person, I'll pronounce it as, yes, the Mikayla sounding way. It is that "when in Rome" kind of thing here, depending on who bares it, and where they live.

I definitely prefer Michaela, as it's a long-time fave and my preferred way. I'm not a fan of the other ways you listed.

The only version I've ever heard, seen or would consider is miKAYla. Not that I would consider it: I like Michael for a boy, but really only Michele for a girl.

I've met a LOT of Michaelas/Mikaylas/Makaylas, etc and all were mih-KAY-luh

I've never heard Michael-uh.

Just like Mikayla, Makayla, McKayla etc. and I have never heard it any other way in an English speaking country.

I would spell it Mikaela, it's Skandinavian spelling.

I dislike the German pronunciation of Michaela, therefore would avoid this spelling. Mikaela sounds nicer in German and comes with the nickname Mika.

Mikaela or Michaela for someone else.

I dislike Mikayla, Makayla, Mykayla, McKayla etc.
