Ruth does sound like an old woman's name.

Just go with something u like is my opinion. I want to name my son something of African origin bc it's creative and not a lot of others are. Ur name is not an indicator of who you are. Anyone who believes that is an idiot IMO.

I instantly think of "Naomi spelled backwards is I Moan"
Yeah we talked about that.
Luckily the spelling in our family tree was Naomie.

You may be right, but it still happens. A person's name is usually one of the first things that you learn about them. If you think someone's initial reaction will be the same toward a Tanquisha and a Joseph, you're kidding yourself.

seems like a girl would be more fun to find a name for.
My husband was the biggest pain in the arse when it came to naming our girl. Annoyed the hell out of me

And that shows their ignorance, my friend Devonte jus graduated from pharmacy school at Xavier, my cousin Keyhanna is doing architectural design at a firm in Austin. My cousin Leytoya has a successful business is Chicago. All those names are not classic but creative.

Well, I've only known the one Micah, that girl, so it's not one I've run across a lot.
Sounds Amish.
No idea why I had the urge to read this whole thread, but it sounds like you're thinking of "Mee-ka"
Micah is normally pronounced more like "Mike-uh"
Or maybe not. I just figured I'd reply to something that happened 7 pages ago.

Family names were a bit restrictive for us. We used some family first names for middle names. Problem with my family is if you go back only 2 generations you end up with some super Italian names. No way I was giving any of my girls a first or middle name of Salvatrice for instance.

That's how she pronounces it as well. Never heard it pronounced as "mee-ka".

Names are not always an indicator of a person and his character typically speaking. The most notable exceptions are those named after a state or color. All dudes I've ever known named Brown for example are total dicks.

My grandfather's middle name was Trower. He was born in 1850. Had never aeen it before or since.
We never got to use the name. I asked my daughter to when she has a child.

Does't Micah sound like an strong Amish boy name? Biblical and old fashioned?

I guess I can see it. I do have a very devout Catholic acquaintance that has a boy named Micah

I know a guy who's naming his first child "Fitzgerald". I'm completely serious.
Posted on 12/4/13 at 11:11 am to sicboy
I've only seen Micah used for a boy, and neither one of the 2 Micahs I know goes by that name (one uses his middle name, which is a more common name, and the other one is known as "Mike").
It does sound Biblical IMO.

Yep, and other people's ignorance is something you have to prepare for. Read the intro of this paper.
