Getting to a spelling based on a sound

[Changedname81]

The name is for a girl and the sound is Meeka. I don’t think this is a recognized spelling.

Obviously you have the boys name Micha (Myka) and then there is Mica which I believe is pronounced Misha?

Is Meeka a recognized girl name and we’ve overlooked an obvious spelling? (This is my cousins baby)

If it’s not a name no need to be harsh. Just inform us

Mika

Not heard of it, heard of Mia for girl and Micha for boy

I'd speed it Mika

Spell*

I know someone from Holland whose name is Myke, pronounced Meeka. The only problem is that sometimes people think she's a man called Mike using a yooneek spelling.

Mika

I’d spell it Mika.

Mika or Meke.

Some people might spell it Meekah so as not to have any confusion over the spelling, but it's not the prettiest spelling.

Meka not Meke.

Sorry but it looks like meerkat!!

Mika is I think the least confusing spelling.

Went to school with a girl called Mieke and she pronounced it "Mee-kah"

"Thename Miekeis agirl's nameof Dutch origin meaning "bitter". A Dutch version of Marie - this is a cutename that has potential."

It's Mieke isn't it? My German exchange partner had a cousin called Mieke.

Meeca? But then it looks too similar to Mecca!

Just go with Meeka.

How about Micah?

If you’re having this much trouble with it now then consider your poor future daughter spending her whole life correcting people and just give her a normal name that you haven’t made up.

If go Mika too like the character in waterloo rosd. Also wasn't there a make artist in the 2000s called Mika?

Male not make

Mieke is the spelling I recognise!

@lockdownstress she did tell say was her cousins baby! Super helpful though!

Mieke

@lockdownstress

So my post was about the fact that we had heard the name and didn’t know the correct spelling and were trying to ascertain it therefore having the correct spelling so as not to cause any future hassles.

But as long as you got something out of being snarky, I hope it’s relieved some of the stress you’re feeling.

Thanks the rest of you

oh oops, sorry, massive apology. I must have misread that. So many idiots on this board wanting to land their child with a lifetime of 'how do you spell that' and I just jumped to conclusion

apologetic and @Changedname81

Mieke.

@lockdownstress apology accepted - when lock down over we can share the cake

I probably could have worded it better to be honest, but I think we might be there with Mieke - although that autocorrects to Miele lol

A relative has a Micah (girl) pronounced Meeka.
