Sike!
While this name is strictly masculine in East Frisia and West Frisia, it appears that it can also be a feminine name in North Frisia and Scandinavia (with the same etymological origin).- Sikke as an East Frisian name (where it is listed as masculine):
* http://nds.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_vun_plattd%C3%BC%C3%BCtsche_V%C3%B6rnaams (in Low German, but contains East Frisian and North Frisian given names)- Sikke as a West Frisian name (where it is listed as masculine):
* see pages 104 and 153 of the book "Fryske foarnammen / Friese voornamen" written by Rienk de Haan

In the Frisian-speaking world, Sikke is used as a masculine name in West Frisia (located in The Netherlands) only.
Sikke is pronounced as: SIK-kə [noted -ed]
I'm guessing, based on other Frisian names, that this is pronounced "Sik-KOO".
I hope this name isn't pronounced like sick.
