I wonder if she could keep the "tradition" alive in Germany. It has strict rules about what names you can give your child. But names that fit your heritage and culture are usually allowed.
Fun fact I worked a diesel workers union job where everyone got company uniforms with our surname on the breast pocket.
There was a crazy smart Chinese dude who worked there. His name was Long Dong. His shirt said "Dong" on it. Our undereducated Indiana co workers found this endlessly worth joking about
i used to read the idaho baby name roundup. the problem with tragedeigh is it never had enough Ys
how about myssgnohmehrs or something like that idk. I'm not entirely familiar with the history but using a real name (idk if tragdeigh is some poor child's) is in poor taste
at least a little, at first. like one would control a river if they were at a lever, and pulling that lever would stop the river from killing five blind toothless orphans with no toes (the river was going to club them like baby seals. and not going to be kind about it either the river is a real dick about it so please dear sentient pull that lever)
I once worked in a team that had both an Aaron and an Erin, and it was confusing for the Americans since they pronounce both names very similarly (in Australia we pronounce them differently enough to disambiguate). I think Aaron ended up being referred to as "A A Ron"

Reminds me of Dr. Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck. She did her thesis on uncommon black names.

I went to school with her. Her maiden name was Jackson.
TBH her parents were (maybe still are) pathetic selfish people and she was kind of a holier-than-thou prude -- but way better than her parents.

Oh, they knew his first name and did not hesitate to use it for their mirth as well

If his middle name wasn’t Duk, I will be severely disappointed.

I think "Arika" could work. Or maybe Awika.
But as someone who has a unique spelling of a common name myself, it sure makes things harder in life.
People say it wrong. Or write it wrong.
I have to spell it out all the time to others if I'm making appointments or something on the phone.
It's a real pain. Don't do that to your kids.

There do exist some parents who try to make their children's names more unique, sometimes to the point of absurdity.
