I love the name Micaiah on a boy but I'm not so sure about on a girl. I am a fan of Michal and Michaela on a girl but not this. I guess the reason I would object to Micaiah on a girl is that it just seems to fall into the popular trend of Mackenzie and McKenna in stealing boys names from girls and the spelling Machaiah seems like just another trend of misspelling names like Mikayla, Makayla, Mckenzie, Makenzie, and Makenna. I just don't like it and think it's too trendy.

I suggest that you consider the already established feminine names such as Michaela, Michelle, Michal, or what about Mila?

Using your maiden name is a really nice idea, especially since it's so accessible for a girl. But if your husband doesn't like Linn why not consider something like Madelinn or Annalinn or Marylinn so you can add your maiden name spelling of the name to another name. Or you could also consider a similar name such as Linnea, Lindsey, Linda, or Linnet?
