Thoughts on Micah?

[Thomas17]

DH & I we’re set on Henry for DS due in few weeks however been going through names again and are now considering Micah. Total cure ball but now confused. Any thoughts on Micah?

I really like it and think it’s a great name for a boy. Not too popular either, which puts me off Henry. Not adverse associations either.

I love it......but the need to no allow 'mic' is imperative.

I also love Asa and Asher.

I prefer Henry. I’m not keen on Micah at all.

Love it. I like Henry too but it's very run of the mill whereas Micah is gorgeous and different

I don't like it.
I know it's not faddy but it does have that vibe imo.

I love it, but while most people pronounce it My-cah some pronounce it Mee-cah, which is your preference? I always thought it was the latter until I heard Micah Richards' name. I like both though

I’m not keen at all and much prefer the handsome Henry.

I love Micah. Henry's cute but Micah's got sass.

I love it. Either 'my' or 'mee' but think MYcah just edges it for me. I work in childcare and have never come across it in real life. I love names like that, where it's known but unusual.

I don't like it. It's too feminine. I know a female Mica.

Both excellent names -nice choices.

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky....

I love Micah (in my experience it's always pronounced MY-ca).

I don't understand the love and popularity of the name Henry, but each to their own. For me personally, it just makes me think of fat misogynistic kings.

Also, as a side note, this awesome kid is called Micah:

I could be brown I could be blue I could be violet sky....

Lol!

Love it. Very different to Henry - I don’t imagine they often appear together on naming shortlists.

Love it!

It's a no from me. Michael is great, Micah isn't. Henry is much better.

I thought it was a girls name.

I taught a Micahia...I think it’s a bibilical name, I’m not sure if I’ve got the spelling right either...anyway it’s a nice boys name.

Love the name Micah!

It's v different to Henry though.

Micah Richards was first choice right back at Man City for quite a few years. That’s what springs to mind when you say Micah.

Same as @DramaAlpaca said though, I’m not keen on the name, much prefer Michael.

I love Micah. I have loved this name since I was about 15. I hope to use this name if our baby is a boy.

It’s my favourite name for a girl! I’ll be spelling it differently though

@SmiledWithTheRisingSun

That was Mika, not Micah. Mika is pronounced MEEka and Micah is MYka.
