Micah for a boy?

[Eggsandavo]

Pregnant with our third boy... surname is Njie (west African) and my husband would like something Muslim (though not 100% essential if it's a perfect name).

I like Micah but my other kids (Logan 14 and Zayne 3) don't like it, they think it's a girls name.

What are the opinions on this? Any other suggestions? Baby is mixed race if that makes a difference.

TIA!

If the siblings are not keen, what do you think of Mike as a nickname? He will probably end up going by Mike in any case.

The siblings will get over it. It does illustrate why it's wise not to tell anyone the name before baby is born though. Everyone thinks they get a say.

I was thinking I'd end up calling him Mickey Mouse as a baby nickname so you may have a point

This is true. My mum also doesn't like it but her opinion isn't important to me.

Absolutely Eggs.

Makes me think of red dead 2

I love it pronounced the traditional way (My-ka).

Micah is a biblical boy's name pronounced My-kah.
