I love this pronounced mah-kie-ah for a girl. I also like the spelling Makaiah. I think Makiya would be the easiest to pronounce but I'm not sure how I feel about that spelling.
I think this name is lovely on either gender, although I slightly prefer it on a girl. However, it should probably be kept as this spelling, not something such as McKayah, which would be mispronounced constantly.
Years ago, I went to school with a girl named Micaiah. I din't like her much, and the name I associate too much with her now. I like the sound of it though, but I prefer Micah. Michaela spelled only that way and not Makayla or Mikayla is also nice.
My name is Micaiah, I tend to be quiet when I'm around strangers, I'm 13 years old and I'm proud or my name. I don't let people boss me around and I know I'm beautiful.
I like Micaiah for a girl and Micah for a boy. They're two totally different names, but one just seems more feminine to me.

My daughter's name is Micah; I pronounce it meh'-ky. I had a dream when I was pregnant with her of the letters in her name; I couldn't figure how I'd pronounce it, so it came out the way it did. When I yell at her, I pronounce it in the biblical form - she knows I mean business. Actually after I put her in a fashion show, & they mispronounced her name as my-kah; she got so many compliments and praises, she pefers it. - SO POSH.
This name is too strong sounding for a girl in my opinion. I love it for boys though. Not a name you hear a lot.

Not one of my favorite names but I have only seen it used for boys and myself I find the name masculine.

I know a little boy named Micaiah, pronounced "mick-KYE-uh". And I just love this name! I bought a stuffed elephant recently and named him Micaiah Zander. My sisters say that Micaiah is a very feminine name, but I've always thought it was very masculine. Great, great name.
