I've brought the name up before - it's my father's-in-law favorite name. I was never too serious about using it until recently. Now I'm really, really digging it. It's dated, yes, but I love the sound of it, the meaning behind it and the fact that my FIL would get such a kick out of it.
Thoughts & Opinions? I don't like Michaela - it's going to be just as dated as Michelle in a few years and there are too many different spellings.
