So Matthew is very disapointed with our name poll. He is so mad that there are only two votes for Reyka and one of those votes is his. I told him that my main concern with reyka is that one day she will just hate it and think that it is totally weird. So he told me that he was going to find someone in the US anmed Reyka and call her up and ask her if she liked her name. Low and behold He googled a gal and sent her an email!! Here's what it said!! I can't stop laughing when I think about it this girl probablly thinks he is nuts!!!

Hey Matt,I've always liked being Reka, and most people really love the name... It's un usual yet pretty easy to say and remember.
It is a rare, old name even in Hungary. The closest meaning I have discovered that it means "River". Congrats on the little girl!
Best,Reka

wrote:Hello Reka, This is kind of a strange email. I hope you don't mind me writing you. I love the name Reka from the time I spent in hungary. We are expecting a little girl and I almost have my wife convinced on the name. Whats your opinion about your name in US? Is it well received or do people think its strange? Also, do you know anything about its meaning or origin?

I am laughing so hard, I think that is hilarious.
Man, he really wants that doesn't he? Here's what I think (not that it matters) Whether people like it or not doesn't matter. The name will become precious because the girl is precious!
I agree bobbi, however what if she hates it cause it is so weird!!!
That is the cutest story I have ever read! I think you totally have to name her Reyka because of this. I think it is adorable, especially now! IT has my vote matt!
LOL, Matt you are something else! LOVE IT!
Just so you know Matt, the other vote was mine!
I agree sometimes a name may seem different but once it goes along with a child it just fits and it is cute. I like names that especially have a special meaning. I now like the name after hearing that he heard it in hungary and he wants it so bad. It really is cute. But also she could hate it some day. But she could always go by Rey. Good luck. And no, we don't have a name yet. But it's not my fault it is Ryan's. He can't decide.
I was the first one to vote for Reyka. I really like it. I am dying that Matt actually did that! It's so funny that she responded, too!! Way to go!
