I would think Nik - ki- a. Almost wanted to say Nik-kia but experience has taught me better lol. LMAO when you say it fast it almost sounds like Nick Carter in like a weird accent  :D Yes... Bear with me lol I'm having one of those days, so I'm punchy!

I had a Nakiocha when I student taught. Bets on how to prounounce that?

Yep, it's Nik-ki-a.  Long I sound.  I figured it had to be either Nik-kia or Nik-ki-a so that part wasn't bad, but until I actually met the kid, it kept throwing me off that he was a boy!  I kept looking at the name on my class list and picturing a girl.

Hm, Nakiocha... I'd say Na-kee-o-ka or Na-kee-o-sha.

I did know a boy at one point who's name was Justin Time. I felt so bad for the kid lmao.

OMG that is just cruel! What some parents do to their kids... I can't think of any examples of the top off my head right now, but I've definitely seen kids with horrible first and last name combinations.

my sister's best friend in high school was Mike Hawk. You'd think he would go by Michael, but he didn't...

There was another fourth-grader at my school named Tacoma Beach.  As in, "To comb a beach."  And that's why her parents named her that.  Her teacher said she had a sibling with a name that also went along with "beach," but I don't remember what it was...

Yay! LOL I knew I was right on the pronunciation, but I don't blame you on thinking it was a girl. That's totally what I thought too! That must be so hard to get.

Nakiocha actually is pronounced Nakeesha. I have no idea WHY the mother decided to add that och in there. Sometimes I wonder...

Rose Bush is cute...at least, I think so. Is there something wrong with it?

I think it was someone famous who named their kid MoonUnit. And then, there was some woman who named her kids Lemonjello and Orangejello. No, I'm not joking lol

I just worked with a girl named Alex Funk last semester. She was nice, but I always felt bad for her with that last name...

I know a girl who is named "Chelsie," only her mom must be dyslexic or something and spelled it wrong on her birth certificate, so it's spelled "Chlesie."  Sad...
