I opted for the spelling Mikayla because I like the nickname kayla and I felt Michaela looked too much like Michael. Do you think a nickname could still be kayla from the Michaela spelling and do you think people would know how to pronounce Michaela the proper way from this spelling??

I definitely think if you want the nn Kayla, you need to go with Mikayla which I think is a cute spelling. I've seen a lot of different spellings, one i a lso like is Mikaela and you could spell it Kaela which is really cute. Well i wish you the best!!!

My sister had the same dilemma when she had her dd (btwn spelling it Michaela or Mikayla) and I convinced her to go with Mikayla cuz it's a more feminine way of spelling it and the other way may be mispronounced. She finally took my advice and named her Mikayla Faith!

Michaela is the spelling of the name so I would say go for that one. A nn does not have to be speeled exactly from the name. If you can get Molly
