I love the spelling [name_f]Michaela[/name_f] but the catch is I was to pronounce it similar [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] with the sh sound. So should I spell it [name_f]Mishaela[/name_f]? Or stick to my fav spelling? Also I like Marchilene… What spelling is best for these names?
Well, if you spell it [name_f]Michaela[/name_f] it’s going to be mispronounced a lot, but if you spell it [name_f]Mishaela[/name_f] it’s going to be misspelled a lot. Decide what feels less complicated, but better try to find another name you love. Giving your child an established name and insisting that others pronounce it your way isn’t a good idea.
For [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] I prefer the original [name_m]French[/name_m] spelling, but [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] is lovely, too.
