Help[Opinions] Re: Micah and Kerstin
in reply to a message by Alice
Micah is MIE-kah, as in MYE-kah or MY-kah. The pronunciation key is provided next to any pronunciation entry, though admittedly it's in rather small font. I quite like Micah (for a boy only, since it was a male name in the Bible), it sounds sweet and offbeat to me.
I don't really care for the look of Kerstin though. If your German or Swedish, I would of course recommend Kerstin to honour your heritage, but otherwise I prefer the Scottish spelling of this name, Kirstin. As for the sound, it's very pretty, but somehow rather bland to me.
EDIT: Clarified and slightly expanded Micah's gender issue.
