How do you pronounce the name Makayla in French?

There's no single, "official" way to pronounce Makayla in French. It's an English name, and French pronunciation rules would apply, but there's room for interpretation.

Here are a couple of possibilities:

* Ma-kai-la: This is closest to the English pronunciation, using the "ay" sound like in "day" for the "ai" combination.

* Ma-ka-ya: This pronunciation emphasizes the "a" sounds more, using a slightly softer "a" than in English.

Ultimately, it depends on the individual speaker's accent and preference. You could always ask the French person how they would like to pronounce it.
