Excuse the (temporary) ignorance - is it Mee-kah or My-kah or something else? Which syllable does the stress fall on?

MY-kuh

Mike-a here

It's pronounced My-cuh, stress on the 'eye'.

MY-kuh is the pronunciation of the biblical male name.

If used for a girl (incorrectly) it's MEE-kah or MEE-sha.

In all cases the stress falls on the first syllable.

I would say My-ca

@Thirty2andBlue

My-cuh is how I pronounce it
How do you get that?

Mee-kah

BinkyandBunty · 05/09/2020 00:36

I know a (male) Micah who pronounces is Mykah.
