  2. Incorrect vowel sound: People might pronounce "micah" with a short "i" sound, saying "MICK-ah" /ˈmɪk.ə/. The correct pronunciation uses a long "i" sound. Tip: Focus on the "i" sounding like "my" to avoid this mistake.

  5. Dropping the final "h": Some may drop the "h" at the end, pronouncing it as "MI-ca" /ˈmaɪ.kə/. The "h" is essential for the correct pronunciation. Tip: Always include the "h" to maintain the integrity of the name.
