I'm guessing Michayle was their try at feminizing Michael (the father's name).

Yeah, but since Josephine was such a classic name, you'd think they'd gone for Michaela or Michelle. Maybe even Michelline.

Agreed. There are these kids at school who like unusual but modern and often creative names...the only way to get them to like something traditional is if you show them a Gaelic name with the original spelling.
