Micah for a boy?

Pregnant with our third boy... surname is Njie (west African) and my husband would like something Muslim (though not 100% essential if it's a perfect name).

I like Micah but my other kids (Logan 14 and Zayne 3) don't like it, they think it's a girls name.

What are the opinions on this? Any other suggestions? Baby is mixed race if that makes a difference.

TIA! Smile

Definitely a boys name, from the bible, but as with all religions it can cross over?

Put your sons straight and use it, it’s a gorgeous name and goes with your surname

Is it pronounced my-cah or me-cah

I've only ever seen it used for a boy.

I love it and like another pp it reminds me of Micah Richards who is lovely, well unless you’re a Man Utd fan.
Nope DH is Liverpool so no worries there! 😂
