Meh maybe to an idiot here and there who can’t read properly. The Micah I know doesn’t have that issue though.

Grufallosfriends · 13/07/2020 22:54

I know a Micah pronounced Mee cah

sproutsandparsnips · 13/07/2020 22:40

I like it a lot.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 13/07/2020 21:16

@DoTheMaccaroni and that is what he will spend his whole life saying!

SoftBlocks · 13/07/2020 20:41

I know a Micah and it’s pronounced Mee - kah.

VenusClapTrap · 13/07/2020 20:11

Just makes me think of Formica. And he’d no doubt end up with the nickname Mike.

SoftBlocks · 13/07/2020 15:50

I prefer Micah. I hate to be be negative but Henry is soooo dull I don’t get why it’s so popular.

HD98 · 13/07/2020 15:46

Always quite liked it!

anothermansmother · 13/07/2020 15:36

Sorry pressed that to early, so for me every time I hear it I'd think of that. Would you use Michael instead?

anothermansmother · 13/07/2020 15:34

It's the name of our local foodbank.

MikeUniformMike · 13/07/2020 15:30

Not keen on Micah.

DoTheMaccaroni · 13/07/2020 09:36

@SmiledWithTheRisingSun

That was Mika, not Micah. Mika is pronounced MEEka and Micah is MYka.

DoTheMaccaroni · 13/07/2020 09:34

It’s my favourite name for a girl! I’ll be spelling it differently though Grin

Lottoboyz · 13/07/2020 09:10

I love Micah. I have loved this name since I was about 15. I hope to use this name if our baby is a boy.

BluebirdsCCFC · 13/07/2020 08:28

Micah Richards was first choice right back at Man City for quite a few years. That’s what springs to mind when you say Micah.

Same as @DramaAlpaca said though, I’m not keen on the name, much prefer Michael.

PMTRex · 13/07/2020 01:02

Love the name Micah!

It's v different to Henry though.

Mrstwiddle · 13/07/2020 01:00

I taught a Micahia...I think it’s a bibilical name, I’m not sure if I’ve got the spelling right either...anyway it’s a nice boys name.

Allmyeye · 13/07/2020 00:58

I thought it was a girls name.

DramaAlpaca · 13/07/2020 00:47

It's a no from me. Michael is great, Micah isn't. Henry is much better.

123Dancewithme · 12/07/2020 22:54

Love it!

ZoyaTheDestroyer · 12/07/2020 22:21

Love it. Very different to Henry - I don’t imagine they often appear together on naming shortlists.

@SmiledWithTheRisingSun

I could be brown I could be blue I could be violet sky....
Lol! Grin
glisteninginkcap · 12/07/2020 21:58

Also, as a side note, this awesome kid is called Micah:

glisteninginkcap · 12/07/2020 21:54

I love Micah (in my experience it's always pronounced MY-ca).

I don't understand the love and popularity of the name Henry, but each to their own. For me personally, it just makes me think of fat misogynistic kings.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 12/07/2020 21:50

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky....
