I love this name. I know a girl who has it. She pronounces it ma-REE-ka.-- Anonymous User 6/8/2008
I've only known one Marika and she always went by Mimi. And I don't blame her, I think this name would work on a person from that heritage, but Mimi wasn't very ethnic and the name just didn't really suit her.-- pandasayscynical 6/18/2008
