Settled on a girl name! .. I think (:

kaitde

Maikah, pronounced like Micah.

I need middle names! Any ideas?

Tamara Holliday

Joy was the first name that came to mind.

mrsekins

Pretty name, but to be honest, I probably would have pronounced it MAY-kah just by the way it's spelled.  But that could just be my problem...

Kendall13

My Aunt's name is Micah Lynn.

I didn't get it at first either.

JChandlerJBates

Rose, Jane, Hope, Grace

The name isn't bad, but it will never get pronounced Micah spelled the way you have it.  Maybe drop the "a"? 

Middle names: Claire, Faith, Paige, Rose

Micah is a boy name and it's never been unisex.?

I grew up with a girl named Micah.

I hate to be rude, but that spelling is really off if you're trying to get people to say Micah. You spelled it May-ka or Mah-ee-ka.

RoxyLynn

Misspelling doesn't make it feminine, it just makes it misspelled.

kaitde

I've actually met 2 girls with the name Mika, or Micah in my life. I've also met a Micahleen. Where I live, Micah is actually more popular with girls than boys.

kaitde

The meaning of the name Maika is Who Is Like God?

The origin of the name Maika is French

Notes: Form of the name Micah.

The H at the end is actually a family tradition, all the girls who have names that end in A, are followed with an H.

Maika is the feminine form of Micah, which would mean Micah is masculine.?

kaitde

Well right, exactly why we're naming her Maikah.

Why are you adding the h? On babynames.com Maika comes up, but Maikah doesn't.?

My MIL would probably be disappointed if we didn't add it, I kind of like it anyways.

I didn't see that. Makes sense- sorry.?

kaitde

I really cannot think of a middle name, all I have so far my husband doesn't like.

Maikah Nikki

Maikah Raquel

Maikah Vanessa

Maikah Belle

Maikah Adele

Our last name has two syllables, begins with a D.

kellyfromcali

Really dislike the spelling. But I like Micah for a girl. Micah Grace is all my brain can come up with right now.

teacherjess

Really dislike the spelling. Micah looks much better, Maikah makes me want to say "May-ka." Even Mikah would be better.

For MN, I'd say stick with simple and do something like Grace.

LMS05

NMS at all. For a middle name use something very feminine like Elizabeth or Catherine.?

Ditto, and that's an awful spelling that wouldn't be pronounced like Micah.

Yeah, it does look like My-kah with that spelling, not Mee-kah

I went to high school with a male and female Micah.  The female spelled it Mika

The "rules" of phonics cannot be applied in every word/name in the English language. ?Just ask any of my first grade students who try to spell words like "who," "could," "friend," etc.?

This is true, but they are not willy nilly either...note the "you want them to" part of that saying.

Nobody wants "who" to be pronounce whah-ho. 

kristeneliza

I have no problem with the spelling.  Think of the names "Maia" (Greek, pronounced like Mya) or "Raili" (Finnish, pronounced like Riley). 

If you like it, go for it.

Understood. ?But, wouldn't "haiku" be an example of a legitimate word that would actually mimic the spelling and pronunciation of OP's name selection (in regard to the "ai")??

KateLouise

I'm in NZ so I automataically assumed Maikah was said My-kuh but that's because in the Maori language "ai" is pronounced "i"

However when you said Micah I thought you might mean "Me-cah" again it's the Maori language thing.

It sounds like where you are thought the ideas surrounding pronunciation are different.

No matter what it's the kind of name that people will always say "how do you spell that?" or "Did I say that right?"?

kaitde

I do like it, my husband and I both agreed that its "the one".. all I was asking for was help for a middle name. Thanks girls

JLKinnear

I like Maikah Lynn as pp said.

Actually -ai- does not always make the long a sound as you are all thinking.  There are many variations of what it sounds like including ah-eeh.

mrsV719

I don't mind the spelling you chose, but she will probably have to "spell" her name for everyone for the rest of her life. I am a teacher and taught a few Mika girls in my classes, so I disagree about it being masculine. But like another pp said, I would prefer Mikah vs. Maikah.

tct1219

i think it will be mispronounced all the time. if you like the way the name micah sounds, you could just use that spelling. i would use a family surname as the middle name if it were me, i hate first name sounding middle names.

Rocknmama

Though I like Micah, I didn't get the same anunciation for the spelling Maikah.
