    There's only one acceptable way, IMO:

    Michaela.

    Yes

    I'm sure there are a million ways that people could spell it. 

    How about M'kailja? (The j is silent.)

    I actually have met a M'k'yl'a ( not sure what the last apostrophe was for) She is about 13-14-15  now.  I suspect teen parents but I never met them.  She was/is a classmate of my youngest DS.

    Oh, and friend's niece is Michaela and her BFF is Macayla.  The call them "Mic" and "Mac" to distinguish between the 2.

    I know a little girl with the MN, Miquella (prn Michaela,). I think it looks like it should be "mih-QUELL- ah." At least it's just her MN.

    To me, Michaela does not equal Mikayla. They are pronounced differently and therefore different names. 

    Michaela  = Michael-AH

    Mikayla = Mi-KAY-la

    I prefer the sound and spelling Mikayla.

    Um, no. Sorry, but you are wrong. Michaela is pronounced Mi-KAY-la, and is the correct spelling.

    To be fair, I understand how you mis-read it. I thought that a nazi and a "naz-eye" were two different kinds of people until I was like 12.

    Ummmmmmm.  No.  Michaela is pronounced the same way as Mikayla.  I know a few Michaelas (that spelling) and they defintely don't pronounce it Michael-Ah.  THat is silly.

    I agree it's silly, but I've run into several Michaelas who pronounce it this way (michael-ah) *shudder*. I also know someone who pronounces it Mik-eye-la.

    The original spelling (and only acceptable one IMO as well) is Michaela. Like Michelle, it is a feminine version of Michael.

    I actually really, really love Michaela, but I'd be mortified if someone thought my child's name was Mikayla.

    None of these contain apostrophes, and I teach two girls who have different spellings of the name, with an apostrophe.  There are probably an exponential amount of spellings when creative punctuation is included.
