Thoughts? It's never really occured to me as an option until yesterday but I quite like it.

Love it, but don't think it flows particularly well with Arthur.

This is like my number 1 favourite boys name, heard it on that old series 'heroes' years ago and loved it ever since!

I love it! It's my son's middle name. I wanted it for the first but my husband didn't love it enough so he is Leon Micah

You'll probably get some people mis-hearing and thinking it's Michael.

I don't think it goes well with Arthur. If you're in the SE it's likely to come out as Micararthur.

Love it.

I'm not a fan of Micah. I prefer the more traditional Michael, which doesn't seem used much these days.

I have a Mika - named after Finnish F1 racer Mika Hakkinen. I love it but he hates it! Wishes he had a ‘normal name’. I thought it was v unusual but when he started primary school there were 2 others Grin.

His is pronounced to rhyme with sticker, but lots of people pronounce it like speaker. He was always too embarrassed to correct teachers when they said it wrong so has spent his whole life feeling annoyed Sad but we also have a stupid surname so that doesn’t help!

If you go for it, make sure your little one knows its ok to correct people who say it wrong!
