Both excellent names -nice choices.

I don't like it. It's too feminine. I know a female Mica.

I love it. Either 'my' or 'mee' but think MYcah just edges it for me. I work in childcare and have never come across it in real life. I love names like that, where it's known but unusual.

I love Micah. Henry's cute but Micah's got sass.

I’m not keen at all and much prefer the handsome Henry.

I love it, but while most people pronounce it My-cah some pronounce it Mee-cah, which is your preference? I always thought it was the latter until I heard Micah Richards' name. I like both though

I don't like it.
I know it's not faddy but it does have that vibe imo.

Love it. I like Henry too but it's very run of the mill whereas Micah is gorgeous and different

I prefer Henry. I’m not keen on Micah at all.

I love it......but the need to no allow 'mic' is imperative.

I also love Asa and Asher.

I really like it and think it’s a great name for a boy. Not too popular either, which puts me off Henry. Not adverse associations either.
