HelpRe: Micah gender
in reply to a message by rsammie1
Nothing prevents the parents of a boy from naming him Melanie, or the parents of a girl from naming her Reginald. So, it could be both.
Micah is a biblical name borne by a male. People who expect a two-syllable name ending in -a or -ah (Anna and Sarah, for other biblical examples) to be female might want to tweak the spelling to suit a daughter. Since mica is a not very distinguished mineral, this might not be a very encouraging option.
People are also likely to associate Micah with Michael. They might then choose to name their daughter Michaela and use Mica(h) as a nn. Or not!
I don't like the name, but it is certainly preferable in its original form and for its original gender.
I'd expect Mika to sound like MIKa or MEEKa rather than MYka.
