Parisa is nice. Better than Paris, but still brings Paris Hilton to mind, unfortunately. As for Elika, I have no idea how it could be pronounced like ERica when it doesn't contain an "R" but an "L". (That's like saying, 'My name is spelled M-A-R-Y but I pronounced it like Molly.' Huh?!) So, no, I don't like it. :-/

Hmmm, it's pronounced liked Erika in that the emphasis is put on the middle of the name. Er-I-ka so Elika would be El-I-ka. It's pronounced like Erika but there's an L instead of the R -- Erika/Elika. Does that help? I didn't think it would be that difficult! No offense to anyone!

I NOW understand what you mean. You just didn't phrase it very well the first time, imo. But I still don't like the name. LOL.

BTW, I don't emphasize the middle syllable of Erica. I've always heard it as AIR-ih-kah, not air-IH-kah.

ditto. Stress on the first syllable.
