Any Micah’s in the UK?

36 comments

1. Guy called Micah Richards used to play for Man City

2. I know a Micah, but he’s from the US

3. Yes, I’ve met a UK Micah, though likely quite rare!

4. I know one. He would be in his 50s though so not exactly on trend.

5. I know a kid called Micah, his name doesn’t get shortened but I think that’s more due to his neurodiversity than anything else (everyone has to be called by their full, proper names or it stresses him out).

6. Micah is a no good lying rat

7. I know one in his 30s.

8. Yes.

   But he tried to be like Grace Kelly. Then he tried a little Freddie

9. There’s a western themed open world video game which has done considerable damage to the name Micah

10. https://youtu.be/Xblh12XgQ4o

11. Ex-footballer and TV pundit Micah Richards.

    Never heard his name be shortened, but it tends to get pronounced differently by some people (Mike-ah, Mee-kah).

12. I had a micah at school, he sometimes shorten it to Mike.
    No idea what he goes by now though.

13. I hope Micah Richards isn’t reading this.

14. Can’t trust a Micah, especially after what he did to Arthur

15. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/livebirths/datasets/babynamesenglandandwalesbabynamesstatisticsboys

    Baby names in England and Wales 2021 (Scotland and N Ireland do a lot of legal things separately)

    Micah is 243rd with 204 babies

    Number 1 is Noah with 4525 babies

    You can look in the dataset for any name with at least 3 babies

16. Only Micah I know is from RDR2. He’s an absolute scumbag.

    But by the time the kid’s grown, that won’t matter!

17. Is the pronunciation Meeka or Myka? If the latter, it sounds like a mineral.

18. Great name, but will forever be synonymous with Micah from Red Dead Redemption 2 for me, and he was not a good man lol

19. I know a guy called Micah Bell. Nasty guy threatened to kill his ex wife and daughters if her new husband went anywhere near him.

20. I know several young kids called Micah! Don’t think it gets shortened. Parents took biblical inspiration I believe

21. There was a Micah in the Bible but I don’t think he ever lived in the UK!

22. My cousin (f) is called Micah

23. I had a friend called micah he was a horrible man. Always treat me like shit

24. There’s a lot of them under the age of 16. Mostly black if they’re over 10, mostly upper middle class if younger.

25. I went to school with a guy called Micah and college with another guy called Micah. Both of west African heritage. Both were great guys one of them went on to play football for a small local team who play in blue.

26. I know of a guy named Micah. Bell by name, bell (end) by nature.

27. Have some GODDAMN FAITH

28. I have a Micah. Age 6.

29. I know one who goes by Mickey instead which isn’t actually shorter or anything so a bit weird.

30. Try Arthur or John they are much better names and your child won’t be a lying, manipulative rat

31. Micah from rdr2

32. I’m a teacher and we have several Micahs. They are all black/ mixed race.

33. I know someone called Mica and someone called Miikka (Finnish).

34. After reading these comments I’d hard pass on Micah

35. I know two Micah’s but it’s a prevalent name in my community, anyway. I think it’s a lovely name and none of them get their names shortened.

36. 100% getting shortened to Mike, Meeks, Meeksy or Big Meek.
