Baby Names

Almost Set In Stone

Finally baking #2!  We have had names picked out for a WHILE...but I have one reservation about our boy name (we're TEAM GREEN this time...even though my husband isn't on board). 

DS1 is Isaac Harrison, and the name we have slated for a potential boy is Micah Wade. Micah is set in stone - I like that both will have the long I sound (and I know that isn't everyone's cup of tea). My question is... If you say first and middle together, does anyone else hear 'microwave?' Does that matter? 

I'm open to suggestions if you have them but probably would NOT be interested in another 2 syllable name. Last name sounds like kimono.

  • Not at all until you pointed it out. Since is first middle and not first last I don't think it's a big deal at all. I love Micah and think it's great with Isaac

    I hear it now that you mentioned it, but I didn't initially. I really like Micah.

  • Would not have thought of it until you pointed it out.
  • Ugh! Now that you pointed it out, all I hear is microwave. I'd pick a different middle name unless it has an important family connection.

    Micah Ezra
    Micah Isaiah

  • Sorry, I read your post again. Did you mean you wanted only a one syllable middle name? If so, that's harder!

  • Yes I heard it. It sounds like microwave with speech impediment.

  • @FreshBakedBrownies - It wouldn't have to be 1 syllable specifically...just NOT two. Thanks for your ideas! :)
  • Like many PPs I didn't hear microwave until you mentioned it. I think Micha Louis sounds nice.
  • I didn't hear microwave when I read Micah Wade, but when I said it out loud, I heard it. NMS, but if you love it, go for it.
  • Didn't hear it until you pointed it out. And how often don you use the two names together? I'd go for it if you love it.

  • I didn't notice until you said it, but i didn't/don't think they flow well together. Is there a particular connection to Wade? What about William?
