    Mez:
        _feliz_ ===> Felizia or Feliza (Felix is male-name BTW)

    also (both are onomatepoetic words & function more as nicknames,
            streetnames):
            _kibi-kibi_ ===> Kibi
            -niko-niko_ ===> Niko

    (I had a grrlfriend who is named Jaxinda. She also spells it Jacinda. I
have always liked this female name ever since meeting her (I still like her,
too).
    I was wondering what linguistic roots does this name come from? Latinate?
    I have also met a grrl named Kali - which I humbly think is a good
Multicultural alternative to Kelly.)
