Ok, I think Michala won't work because too many people will think it's a misspelling of Michaela.

WDYTO Micaiah ? i pronounce it mee-KAH-ya or mee-KAY-ah.

and WDYTO Michalah ? would it be more likely to get pronounced mee-KAH-la ?

I pronounce Michaiah: MICK-kye-uh. I like it for either

I don't like Michala very much. Or Michalah.

Micaiah, on the other hand, I love. I pronounce it mih-KAY-ah, but I also like the mih-KIE-ah pronunciation. I think it would work for either gender.

If you're going for the pronunciation mee-KAH-la, I think Mikala or Mikalla are the clear choices. Michalah looks like a mess.

Micaiah is historically a boys' name, and I would leave it so.

it isn't. in the old testament men as well as women were named Micaiah. it's unisex like Noa/Noah.

Micaiah I wouldn't prnc like you want it. I would say mi-KEYE-ah (like the word 'eye').

Michalah I would still think was supposed to be like Michaela if I didn't know better.

If you're looking for that pronounciation I guess Mikahla would be my best guess.

My first instict was Micaiah = 'mih-KIE-ah' (like Isaiah).

Michalah looks bad, imo.

I also agree

It's definitely 'mih-KIE-ah' and I only like the name for a boy anyway.
