My name is Timeka, my dads name is Tim and he wanted a boy... too bad for him! haha But I like my name. For short I get called, timeeks, meeker, meka, TT, tiki torch, teet, and my favorite: time-ka... that is how teache's would pronounce it when I was a child. My neices other aunt (on her mom's side) her name is Tamikah too! There is even a girl on Deal or No Deal with the name Tameka! Were taking over the world! :) Luv! timeeks! p.s. my little brother's name is Tim. :)

Honeslty I hate my name. i've never been fond of the name and have grown a personal dislike towards the name in general. I know when I walk through the door for an interview the person on the other'side knows who is coming. My clients know when'they call or come to my office they know its a "black chick" coming through the door.

My name is Tameka, I am one of those statistics in the 70's. I went to high school with eight other Tameka's 4 were actually spelled the'same way. I wondered if our mothe's were in a meeting or something and everyone decided that that would be the name of the year. So now when I hear that another females name happens to be tameka, "I say ohhhhh, she got caught up in those statistics"

I think the name "Tameka" is great. Of course, that's my name. People have no problems pronouncing it, when you say it clearly. i've met several other Tameka's not always spelled the'same. By the way I'm 40.

My name is also Tameka and over the 18 years of my life i have met over ten people carrying this same name, but only two with this same spelling,These two other Tameka's were both in my high school classes so whenever our names would be called we would simultaneously answer, it was funny and both tiring at the'same time(thank God for surnames). But to this day I love my name and allow some people to call me Tamy or Tam tam sometimes!

My name is Tameka as well. I never encountered the "ghetto" thing from anyone. Usually I get compliments and asked where it originated. I'll generally give them the Japanese explanation--derived from "Tamiko." Nicknames for me: Meka, Tame (pronounced "Tammy"), Tams and Me.

Tameka is my name too and I find it easier to be called Tammi as so few people can pronounce it properly. I find most people put alot of emphasis on the e making It'sound like Tameeka. Instead it is said tamika with more emphasis on the ka.

replay
09/17/2023 22:37:30

My name is of course also Tameka and I don't like it because I figured out at one point that it also meant beautiful and myself I don't beli've I am beautiful .And i do know like one other person with the'same name and the funny part is that we were both born the exact same day and year the only difference between us is like one hour and our mothe's are friends. I also do not like my name because people are always spelling it wrong and some people I know pronounce it (Tam eh ka) so it can get quite anoying at times.People make fun of my name'saying "Why did your mom give you an African-American name does she hate you that much❤️" but I don't listen'to them anymore and plus they are stupid children whom have no idea what they are saying. ( My apologies to those who are African-American I beli've you are all beautiful and kind at heart and that your families love you very much. And to those who are young and are picked at for their name being Tameka spelled anyway at all please don't listen'to them because if you do you may stoop down to their levels.)

My name is Tamika but pronounced Tam-ic-kah. I really prefere it this way, yet becomes annoying as people frequently mis-pronounce it as Tameeka or Tabitha. Where I'm from the name Isn't assosiated with the 'ghetto' image as it may be in America. I get called Tam by friends and family.

My name is Tamica (pronounced Tameeka). Even into adulthood, I still get the "ghetto name" jokes and it is very annoying. Fortunately, I have always embraced my ethnicity and never allowed the ignorant remarks of a few people hold me back. Ironically, I often get "I LOVE your name! It's beautiful!" from colleagues in corporate America who have never heard of my name. I'm so glad that I came across this site. It is great to see my name celebrated and embraced by so many beautiful and intelligent women. I love it!

Tameka is my name, chosen by my uncle and I think that there couldn't have been a more perfect name for me. From the time I was able to say my name, i've claimed it with full authority. The name is beautiful. One of my closest friends, ironically, is named Tameka. Same spelling and all. I wouldn't change a thing about it! I haven't ran into too many people whom wasn't able to say my name correctly. It's pretty much common since lol. Ta-me-ka...I love it!

My name is Tameka too. It's weird because I thought my name was unique until I started middle school and I found someone with the'same name but she'spelled it different from mine. And ever'since then I have met at least three or four different Tameka's (spelled differently of course) but all the'same :) I like my name but I have a hard time explaining to people how to pronounce it right. I am named after my mother Tammy and with my name the "Tam" part has to be heard. So It's TAM EKA. I like it but I would prefer to go by as Meka (simple and easily said). *For the comment posted on Apr 12, 2021. I have a brother name Josh or Joshua and he's my twin. That is sooo weird and cool at the'same time. Are you my mother who posted that up for me❤️ CRAZY :)

I have had my name mispronounced several times(Time-ka,Tim,ka) and to this day it is still mispronounced as Ty-meka. Just because it is spelled with an I. I was told that it was spelled wrong or that is not the right way to spell it. Growing up I was told that my name was ghetto and for awhile I beli'ved it but its not the name its the person behind the name.

My name is Tameka and I'm so glad to see that'so many othe's spell it with an "e" and not an "i". I think its a beautiful; however, I still feel that people seem to pre-judge me based on the name. However, I beli've that these barriers are slowly being broken down in the corporate workplace as well as school as the "Tameka's" of the world continue to show the world how wonderful, beautiful and talented we are!

My Name is Tamika...mine is not with the E..honestly my friends n family love my name...and like everyone says i love the nicknames you get out of it..Tami, tamtam, mika, the best one i enjoyed was when my bestfriend turned my name around n started callin me akimat..was a good laugh while it lasted...now that ive grown up none of my people call me that because they tend to pronounce it wrong and it just hurts my ears hearin them say it the way that doesn't sooth me...I love my name because it origins from The Japanese meaning "people" and i tend to have a lot of positive people around me everywhere i go so it FITS.

My Name Is a bit differnt spelling its Tamika i like my name because you get good nick names and people can not make fun of it because there is no name to make out of it. I like the nick name my family and friends call me like mika or mika moo. People do most of the time pronounce it rite but sometimes they can spell it wrong but that is hardly ever. The correct way to say my name is Ta-mi-ka.

So,my name is TAIMEKA, spelled very differently and always mispronounced and mispelled. The truth behind it is that my mother added the "i" by mistake :). My aunt gave me the name and she'spelled it Tameka and when my mother registered me it was written'taimeka. I love it, its so different. Growing up there were so many people who had my name and as I got older and entered the business world, the numbers declined; and my name became exotic and fascinating. I love my name and can't ask for anything better.

My name is Tameka. The name means twin, and I'm also a Gemini. Knowing that helped me develop acceptance and appreciation for my name. It's an uncommon name today, considering that most people have associated it with race and class; sadly, It's been deemed urban and ghetto. I think my name was definitely a fad or trend of the 80s. I'm 29 (born in 1995), and happy that my parents chose a name that truly reflects the beginning of my life.

Almost a year later my comment is to Aneia. There is no such thing as a real or unreal name. Just as there is no correct spelling or incorrect spelling. If you are real your name is real. How ever you spell it pronounce it it is real. People have always created names and I suspect they always will. What is a "Ghetto Name"❤️ If a Mary lives in the ghetto is Mary a ghetto name❤️ I know hat people mean by that but come on lets not get into that celebrate who you are and embrace it.

My name is Tameaka, i've only met 1 person with my first and last name'spelt the exact way. It is a very common name in Jamaica and you soon find out You're not the only one with that name when You'reach high school. Though various spellings exist, we all share the'short version of meka, tammi, tee, meeks and of course the dreaded mispronunciation of our name. I have been called (tami aw ka) a few times..lol. when in high school I was told it was the name of an African princess. Though common, I loved it the more.
