How would you spell this name (pronounced Mike-a)?
My friend told me Micah will be pronounced (mee-ka) and Maike will be pronounced (Make).

I've never heard of either so would say My-cah and M-ay-kee.

Micah. It’s my Step-Dad’s name.
Word of warning he has dealt with a life time of being called Mike and Michael.

Micah pronunciation would depend what country you’re in. Here it would be Mike a, in France it would be Meek a.

Maike = Meye cuh (with possibly a hint of e after the eye).

Micah reminds me of Micah Wallace in The Commitments. In the film they pronounced it Mick-ah. Like Mickey Mouse. He was a really cool character but I think anyone who has seen the film would probably think Micah = Mick-ah.
