Micah's already used for girls, I don't see why it wouldn't eventually become more popular for girls than boys.
I would have assumed Micah was a girls name, the only male Micah I've never heard is a really awful local news anchorman named Micah Ohlman on LA's KABC. And honestly, it sounds like one of those names that someone made up, I know it's biblical, but it sounds made up.
I'm just not a fan of soft or gentle sounding boys' names, anything that ends in an 'ah' sounds like a girls' name to me.

No. It's a boys' name through and through.

There. Are. So. Many. Gorgeous. Girls. Names. Understand!

Micah is not used where I live, so people would assume it was a girls' name based on the sound. But I still prefer it for a boy. I love gentle-sounding male names. On a girl, it's OK but blends in with all the other 2-syl girls' names ending in "ah" (of which there are loads).

Please, no!! I have a son named Micah and can't stand unisex names!

My aunt's best friend!
Well actualy I think her name was Michaelina but she was always called Micah and because of her I rather like it for a girl though I'd never use it! I like it more as a nickname than as a full name. :)

If I were tiny, just like you,
I'd dance among the flowers too!

No. It's a very masculine boy's name.

Micah is a boy's name, and should stay that way in my opinion.

Try spelling it Meike...
It's pronounced the same.
Even Mica (like the mineral) would work better. Also pronounced Mike-a
Actually I think you could get away with Micah on a girl in certain crowds - people who weren't aware of the Biblical male name. It looks pretty femme to me because it's got that (archaic for male names, and trendy for them right now) -ah ending.

Why don't you...
just make one post with a longer list of girls names you like? Then we could see them all out there at once and maybe make suggestions or comparisons between them in one go.
And I don't care for Micah on either sex. It reminds me formica, or mica the mineral. I'd be tempted to call the kid Muscovite.

This is one of my top boy's name and it's a great alternative for Michael. However, I think it's horrible for a boy. I would definitely stick with Meredith.

I used to have a friend name Meika (me-ka). Micah does have a bit of a feminine sound, but I prefer the Meika sound even more.

No way.
Micah is totally a boy name to me. Biblically, it's a boy name plus I've nown at least two Micahs that were male.

Try an actually feminine name, like Mila, Myra, or Myna. Micah sounds icky on a girl.

nooooooooooooooooooo! I love this name too much for a boy!
Plus it has the 'Mike' sound and that's just so very masculine that even with the 'ah', it just doesn't fit for a girl.
