As we eagerly anticipate the longlist for the Lucy Cavendish Fiction
What are your thoughts on the different spellings of the name? I used to think that every way but [name]michaela[/name] was wrong, but now i’m beginning to think they are just. What names that come from/are related to your own names would you name your kid if you weren’t named your own name?
Any suggestions are much appreciated!
I completely agree and was coming here to post the same thing. I told her i thought. I really like [name_f]olive[/name_f] but would never. She loves the name [name]isla[/name] but is concerned the spelling isn’t very intuitive.
Looking for names similar to layla. I voted for [name]leila [/name], but [name]laila [/name] is lovely too. Looking for girls’ names with long “a” sound to go with [name]raymond [/name], [name]kayla [/name], and [name]aiden [/name]. Also for names that would go with layla being a middle name.
Michaela is the traditional spelling, and is less common than mikayla and makayla.
Plus it is visually distinct.
