Is this a wierd name for a girl?

Question

I heard of this name for a girl and thought it was really pretty but it is also a boy's name. The name is...

Rikki

What do you think?

thanx

Answer 1

i don't like it

Answer 2

My name is Nikki and I hate having a nickname for a full name. Is there something more formal and Rikki can be short? I/m sure your not thinking of it now, but when she's older she might want something more professional.

Answer 3

Nice. It is short for Ricarda which means "Powerful ruler"

Answer 4

my brother had a girlfriend with this name its okay but i prefer Ricky for a boy,just my opinion.good luck.

Answer 5

It reminds me of Bianca from Eastenders callin rikkaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy..... Sorry!!

Answer 6

i don't like it

Answer 7

I think spelled Rikki it is 100% feminine name. I agree with some that maybe you should use a formal name and that as a nn but heck Rikki is cute on its own.

You have to be the one happy with it. i used the name I loved best as middle names for my first two and have always regretted it.

Answer 8

The spelling Ricky is definitely a boy name, but with that spelling, I think it kinda does look very feminine

Answer 9

isn't the best name out there

but very unique

Answer 10

i like it

- ♥ Taylor ♥

Answer 11

I like it. Its feminine, spelling it with k's. I think it works

Answer 12

i think its really cute

Answer 13

I really like it! But I think Rikki should be short for something like Raquel (Ra-kel).

I really like unisex names!

Answer 14

Way CUTE. I think it is different. But cute. Give her a really girly middle name.  

Answer 15

I'm not fond of it, it just sounds rough to me. I also once knew a girl named RikkiLeigh and she was really annoying, so it must just have bad conotations for me.

Why don't you give her a name like Veronica and Rikki can be a nickname?  

Answer 16

I like it !  

I sorta agree with the person that said, not for the actual birth name yet call her that.

I dont like Ricarda tho

Erica / Erika could be called Rikki as a nickname.

Then if she turned out to be business woman or run for Congress,she could use Erika for a less perky and a better power name.

Answer 17

I don't think it's formal enough. It's fine for a little girl or teen, but what about a 50 yr old woman?

Answer 18

That's a really cute nickname, but why not give her a full name like Verika or Veruca and call her Rikki?

Answer 19

I don't like it much =/

Answer 20

It's not feminine at all and it doesn't sound like a pretty girl's name. Sounds a bit rough for a girl. Don't like and she prob won't like it either when she gets older...sorry

Answer 21

Call her Erica with Ricky (or however you want to spell it) as a diminutive

Answer 22

i dont like it

i like Nikki Lynn though

Answer 23

i cannot decide for you but it is not my favorite

Answer 24

I dont think so. I know at least 5 girls with the name Rikki. and have a friend with the name Rikkia which I think is a pretty name and quite similar to Rikki.

Answer 25

I don't like it for a boy or a girl.  

Answer 26

I think its wonderful :)

It is mostly associated with Rikki Lake, the chat show host though. It suits people of all ages too - young children and mature adults.

If you like it - then go for it! She's your baby, so she will love whatever name you give her :)

Answer 27

No thanks.

:D

Answer 28

No.  Remember Rikki Lake.

Answer 29

I think that is a beautiful name for a girl.

You have also spelt it the feminine way.

I say go for it if you are happy with it.

Good Luck.
