Baby girl McCall?

I just want some feedback on the name McCall for a little girl (possibly spelled Michal?). It has been in my mind lately and it isn't on this website to get nameberry's take on the name.

What do you think?

McCall isn't on nameberry because it's one of hundreds of Mac surnames, which we've written about in the past as being appealing as first names. A few, Mackenzie and McKenna and Macauley, have been used more widely as first names. McCall is a Scottish patronymic (father-oriented surname) meaning "son of Cathal." It's an attractive name though I'd guess that many people would confuse it with Macauley, as in child star Culkin.

I would NOT spell it Michal unless you really want it to be a totally different name: the Biblical Michal, pronounced similarly, is the daughter of King Saul and the wife of King David.

I don't really like the name McCall mainly because I have never heard it before. I think it really looks like a last name. Sorry!

I think it's an adorable name! I also like the spelling McCall over the other...

I know a girll with this name. I like it!

Sorry, I think it's awful. So many interesting and pretty names to choose from, why this?

Though I am not normally one for Mc- names on girls, I do quite like this one. I went to high school with a girl named McCall, which was apparently her mom's maiden name. We called her Callie :) She was a very nice, very friendly girl, so I can't help but picture a little sweetheart with this name!

I think I would pronounce Michal like Michael. Stick with McCall if thats what you want :)

I like McCall. I agree that Michal looks too much like Michael and would probably be pronounced as such. Would you give a nn to McCall? Callie, Micky......?
I will admit that it reminds of the McCall's pattern company.

I 'get' that Mac names are trendy, but I can't see the appeal of this for a little girl. Not only because of the blatantly masculine 'son of' meaning, but also the abrupt sound. I keep hearing 'shrieking macaw'

I would go for the spelling Michal because at least that has a feminine stamp behind it.
