What does everyone think of this for a girl?

[ScottsTotss]

Just wondering what people’s thoughts are on Myka for a girl? Pronounced as it’s written, My-ka. I am aware it’s also a boys name, when spelled Micah. We found the name from watching Warehouse 13 where the lead female is called Myka. And I used to have a lady I spoke to at work called Maike which is pronounced the same way.

Thanks!

Nope

No

I quite like it.

No - not keen on Mike or Michael and it looks like you’ve named your daughter after a male relative who’s named that.

It makes me think of Mica, like the mineral that is in make up and industrial lubricant, but thats probably niche.
Or MIKA the singer.

It’s not my usual taste in names but I quite like it actually! Sounds fresh and strong, a refreshing change from the trend for soft sweet names for girls.

Mica is a mineral component found in defective building blocks used in thousands of houses in the northwest of Ireland, causing them to crack and develop serious structural issues — there’s a huge citizens’ redress scheme under way about it.

To me, it would be like calling your child Asbestos.

I know a little girl called Micah - think that's how it's spelt. I also know a teenaged boy with the same name. I'd always assumed it was unisex!

@Urcheon wow okay 😂 I think Myka sounds much nicer than Asbestos though, so I can cope with that. Plus ‘Micah’ is a well established as a name anyway.

And I did know it is a mineral.

The name itself could suit a female, although it's not to my taste, but the spelling awful.

Mika or Mica would be better.

Thanks so far to those who have replied. I expected some to not like it but I’m glad to see others do like it! ❤️

I quite like it.

Could you use Mikaela and have it as a nn?

I had a hairdresser called Heike, pronounced Hy-Ka, always liked that name.

I actually like it.

I quite like Meike which is an established girls name.

But not Myka, which looks made up..

I don't like the spelling but the name is nice enough. I'd spell it Mika.

@SoOutingWhoCares yes there are other spellings which I do also
love. But Meike, Maike, Maika etc wouldn’t work in England as far as it being easily pronounced. I don’t really gel with the “looks made up” comments I often see on here because all names are ‘made up’ aren’t they. And I’m not trying to be arsey with you… Just saying, it’s not something that bothers me. Also, it’s not made up (by me anyway) as I’ve seen it other places. But thanks for your input!

I like it! There was a girl called Micah in a programme I watched.

@Yuckyyuckyuckity thanks, I do know someone called Mika though and it’s pronounced mee-ka, like the famous singer with the same name. So that wouldn’t work for us.

@Riverlee we have a family member with that name and I prefer shorter names, but good suggestion nevertheless!

I like it !

I like it.

Isn’t there a female singer called Mica Paris?

Anyway, I like it and think you should go for it.

I like Micah for a boy too.

I think it's fine.

I've heard of Melika before and it's fairly similar.

I like it
Also like Mareike

@coldbrightmorning Mica Paris is MeeSha not My-Ka.

I also prefer Meike, not keen on Myka but I guess there are worse names.
