Not particularly, no. It's certainly not a name that I would ever use. I'm really of two minds about it: on one hand, I do really like having an uncommon name, and I never went to school with another one and that was actually cool. On the other hand, almost every teacher I've ever had has pronounced it wrong at some point, and being a kid and having your teacher say your name wrong and having the other kids laugh...not fun.
Not really. Jerika was the only girl name my mom came up with, so it's not like I've considered other things. The only thing I've ever wished is that I'd been a boy, haha, because my dad picked out the name I would've had if I'd been a boy and it is much, much cooler (Braddock Seamus O).
