I really like this name but i don't want to give my child a name that will cause her to be teased or make it hard for her to be successful later in life.

AWFUL
It's just a play on the name Mckayla/Michaela. I detest that name as well.

Even though this is from 7 years ago, I want to let people know that my name is Michalyn and I am a girl! I do not get teased about my name I actually get A LOT Of complements. It's not pronounced like the tire company... It's pronounced Mika-Lynn, and some people say Michael-Lynn but it sounds about the same. I am kind of named after my dad because his name is Michael, so I think it's pretty cool and unique.

She might be teased having a name that sounds like the tire company.

If you want to avoid teasing potential and other possible difficulties, I'd likely shy away from a created name/spelling that happens to sound identical to a popular brand of tires (Michelin). ;)
If you absolutely love the name, perhaps Micheline (with a -leen ending sound) would appeal? It's still similar to the brand name, but at least it's a valid form that doesn't happen to sound identical (prompting "Michelin Man" and other such remarks LOL).

I think with all the answers you already got from others you already know that it kinda looks like the tire company name but if it is pronounced like Michaela with lyn at the end instead of la then it is quite pretty to say but how often would your daughter be telling people how to pronounce her name? Maybe Mikaylyn or Mikaylin so they know the middle of then name is pronounce with a hard kay instead of the soft ch sound

I don't that that's a good idea, because other kids these days do make fun of people's names, my friend Marissa Frost, they make fun of her and call her Frosty Pop, OR Frosted Flakes, then they sing the comerical song, but I really don't think, that that name is the right name!

I'm not sure how to pronounce it. I want to say it like Michelin, the tire company. Maybe Micah-lyn? Meeka-lyn? Mitcha-lyn? I would either spell it differently, or pick something similar.

Go with Michaela or Micayla or Cayla or Michelle...
Michellin is a WELL known company, it's "icon"/spokesman is that white, fat tire-guy and has been around for 80 years... all over Europe and USA... if you want to avoid it/name calling, don't use that name.

I think it could be exotic and nice if she had a laid back middle name, but it could seem a bit strange. Maybe try something similar like Michaela which is a bit more common.

I have no clue how to even say it. I dont like the way it looks. If youre unsure, dont do it. I think you can do much better.
