Micah - how to pronounce it?

I always thought this name was pronounced 'Mike-ah'.

But recently I've also heard 'Mick-ah'.

Anyone know which is the correct way to pronounce it?

Thanks!

Mike-ah (at least that's how it's always been said in Church).

I thought it rhymes with Seeker (as in the singer).

I know a Micah. It's Mee-kah.

I know a Micah pronounced My-ka

It's mike-ah although my son does get called mee-kah alot but he will now correct people.

pictish · 24/01/2013 17:07

Hmm...I think it's fairly safe to say it's either or isn't it?

sittinginthesun · 24/01/2013 17:08

My friend's son is Mike-ah

PrincessFiorimonde · 24/01/2013 17:46

So it might be pronounced either Mike-ah, or Mick-ah, or Meek-ah?

NotADragonOfSoup - sorry, am not sure how 'Meye-ka' works. Is it like 'Mike-ah'/'My-ka'? (Apologies for being dense!)
