I've known more people named
Michaela than any of the others listed. (I'm including
Mikaela and
Micaela, as both seem more closely related to
Michaela than other variants.)
The
Mikayla /
Makayla variation seems to have been influenced by the popularity of the name
Kayla. I don't encounter the name too often, honestly, though the variations I've encounter are all over the place. I don't really care for names related to our sounding like
Kayla, though I think
Michaela is fine.
Mckenna /
Makenna / McKenna is a different story entirely. I'm certain I met a
Mckenna or two at some point, but exactly when escapes me. I seem to recall thinking that, while trendy for a moment, that trend must have been more regionally situated because I encountered it so infrequently compared to how popular I was told it was.
I really don't care for McKenna or any of its variants. It think that name will be remembered as a flash-in-the-pan of popularity.
