ArchivesRe: How do you pronounce Michaela in English? Thank you! (nt)
in reply to a message by Jen
Did I get that right that it begins with My- and not Mee- ?
(I'm from Germany, and here you occasionally find that name on women around 30, but not very often. I once met an English girl with that name. Unfortunately, I forgot how it was pronounced, that's why I asked.)

Its more of a MAY sound, I think. Anyone else?

I've heard it as more a MEE cut off...
as in start saying MEE but then get cut off so it's a short 'i' sound and don't get to do the whole 'ee' sound.
I hope that makes sense. I suppose you could say it's like the Mi is Mickey. At least it coresponds in Australian English.
