I say MIE-kah and KER-stin, but that doesn't mean it's correct...

Kerstin is pronounced as "Cher-stinn"

---

So I think it would be mispronounced and misspelt in USA.

---

I love Kerstin in Sweden, it is sweet and olf-fashioned. But in USA, Kirsten or Kristen might be easier.

---

I would use a longer name as mn. Kerstin Elisabeth, Kerstin Maria, Kerstin Magdalena, Kerstin Linnea.

---

I would pronounce Micah as "My-kah" in USA and other English speaking countries and as "Mee-kah" everywhere else.

MY-cah.
One of my favourites!

---

Kerstin is nms.

---

Still....

Kerstin Akira

What middle name(s) do you like for Micah?

---

-Seda*

---

*looks down from Cloud Nine* *dazed voice* I met Kelly Clarkson. *teethy grin*

Kerstin is nms, but I like Christie.
I like Micah, and pron. it mi (short ee sound)-khah, the Hebrew way. :) I don't care for the English pron which sounds weird to me.

My ! are Alia, Eidel, Enola, Israel, Dudel, Yuri, Lina, Lorelei, Leilani, Owen, Julian, Glorinda, Mirinda
My ? are Hillel, Meshullam, Johnny, Ginny, Cordelia, Fiammetta, Yocheved
My ~ are Tehila, Tilda, Hailey, Gillian, Huldah
My / are Aglaia and July

I don't care for Micah or Kerstin. Micah reminds me of the word Formica, and Kerstin looks odd to me with the e, and it's harsh sounding, I think. Even though I don't care for it, I'd prefer the spelling Kirsten.

---

I pronounce Micah as My-cuh. As for middle name suggestions for Kerstin, I suggest Kerstin Miranda.

Check out my profile for the names of my !'s, ?'s, ~'s, and /'s.

I really like Micah on either sex. I don't like Kerstin, but I think Kirstin is OK. (They are pronounced differently to me.)

Micah is MIE-kah, as in MYE-kah or MY-kah. The pronunciation key is provided next to any pronunciation entry, though admittedly it's in rather small font. I quite like Micah (for a boy only, since it was a male name in the Bible), it sounds sweet and offbeat to me.

---

I don't really care for the look of Kerstin though. If your German or Swedish, I would of course recommend Kerstin to honour your heritage, but otherwise I prefer the Scottish spelling of this name, Kirstin. As for the sound, it's very pretty, but somehow rather bland to me.

---

EDIT: Clarified and slightly expanded Micah's gender issue.

Miranda

I like Micah (My-ak) I would use it but feel its a little too popular

---

Kerstin is a turn off, just because of the one I know. And its too close to Kristina, so I feel like its just trying to be different with another name similar.

---

Its ME - cah. I love this name.

---

Kerstin, i prefer the spelling Kirsten and also the name Kristin.
