I like Maike too (Mike-ah). Mika sounds a bit like Meerkat perhaps.

ScattyCharly · 12/09/2018 20:34

I’d be inclined to spell it Meeka if you really like it. I’d have thought Mika was pronounced My-kah or mick-ah

BatBelle · 12/09/2018 20:41

I read it as Mee-ka. I quite like it.

Sunflower321 · 12/09/2018 21:22

I like it, spelled Mika.

MadeForThis · 12/09/2018 21:25

Makes me think of the song

Shadow1234 · 12/09/2018 23:10

Love the name, and dont mind which way its pronounced! Both
sound lovely

Yeap, I like it! As a mum with a DD with unusual name I can tell you it doesn't matter how it's spelt it's always going to be mispronounced, so just spell it the way you want!

There was a girl called Mica in the school I used to teach in, who pronounced it Meeka. Incidentally, she was in the recent Winter Olympics in the two woman bobsleigh and her partner was also called Mica (but pronounced differently).

Mika Brzezinski is a well-known reporter/cable news star in the U. S. She pronounces it Meeka. I do like it well enough. It's cute. But the start of the word 'meek' makes me think of a wee mouse hiding in a church. Haha. 😄😄🐭⛪

Yes I adore it! It's my friends name and we were due within days of each other earlier this year so I couldn't use it 😭 felt like it would have been a bit weird.

I chose another 4 letter name ending in ka though which I love even more!

And I also love Maike ❤️

Sarahlou63 · 13/09/2018 12:27

Maike (from Hamburg) is sitting next to me and is nodding :)

LeeMiller · 13/09/2018 13:52

My first thought is the singer, but the sound is nice. I also love Mila.

InterstellarSleepingElla · 14/09/2018 14:35

I read it as Mee-ka but I thought of the singer Mika Whois male.

BombayThanksgiving · 14/09/2018 14:47

I'm Finnish, and Mika is very much a male name here. I really can't picture a girl with the name, but that's just me!
