Kaylabeth vs. Makayla
If you had to choose between Kaylabeth and Makayla for a daughter, which would you pick? Kaylabeth is probably my favorite girl name at this very second; this is susceptible to change, as always.

I prefer the sound of Kaylabeth but it looks too long and it's an awkward mashup on paper, so I'd want it to be Kayla-Beth or something like that. idk.
Makayla is too 'poppy' for me. People are saying they'd spell it Michaela and while I like Michaela, I wouldn't pronounce it exactly the same as Makayla. Makayla is more twangy because of how much the "KAY" sticks out, and how the "KAY" is a bit separate from the "LA".

I'd choose Makayla. It's my daughter's middle name. These days I'd probably pick Mikayla over Makayla, but minor point.
Kayla is nice too, but Kaylabeth is just too cutesy.

I like Mirabeth, Corabeth, and Annabeth. Ninabeth is good too, and Norabeth. I like Isabeth but I think I'd get confused between Isabeth, Isabel, and Elisabeth. Kirabeth? Larabeth? Willabeth? Hannabeth? Ellabeth?
ETA: "beth" looks more scrambled the more I look at it. It reads like a "teh" style of typo even though it's in the correct order.
