Re: Makayla
in reply to a message by Ani
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.
