|  |     Hi Heike,
    
    Well, I'll tell you, I've searched through all the name books I've
    got and even some more at the bookstore this past weekend and I
    haven't seen your name in *any* of them.  You're quite right when
    you say it's a very unusual name!  Do you think perhaps it's a form
    of Heide?  I looked under variations of Heide in one of my books,
    but didn't see it - although that doesn't mean too much because
    its missing quite a few variations of other names that I've noticed.
    Anyway...  good luck in your search and sorry I couldn't help.
    
    - Kathryn

| 410.2 | Typo perhaps?! | WORDS::SIMPSON | Igloo | Fri Aug 04 1989 14:27 | 11 | 
|  |     Just a really off the wall thought.  .2 mentioned a possibility
    of Heike being related to Heide.  Well if you noticed, the d and
    the k are typed with the same finger just a different hand when
    you rest them on "home row" I will often mis-type these two letters
    for eachother. 
    
    Like I said, just a strange thought, you don't have to take it too
    seriously! :-)

| 410.3 | Not a typo | NUTMEG::WENSING |  | Mon Aug 14 1989 14:39 | 5 | 
|  |     In answer to .3
    
    Nope, it's not a typo.  That's the real way (and only) of spelling it.

| 410.4 | Another Heike | JAWS::MCGONIGLE |  | Mon Feb 19 1990 15:33 | 5 | 
|  |     I know a girl with that name, she lives in Westboro.  I was told her
    real name is Mary or Maria, and that her father started calling her
    this as a form of endearment.  Meaning dear or loved one, now it is
    the only name she goes by.  She comes from Germany, she's been in the
    US for a few years now.

| 410.5 | I like it! | FENNEL::WENSING |  | Thu Feb 22 1990 07:51 | 13 | 
|  |     >  dear or loved one,
    I like that, I guess my mom really liked me.
    
    It's not often that I run into another Heike.  Actually, I have only
    met one when I was about 15.  I was rollerskating and a friend
    came over to me and said "Heike, meet Heike" --  both of our faces
    dropped. The name is so unusual, we were both stunned.  I have heard of 
    quite a few people who know another Heike though.
    
    Well, thanks for the input.
    Heike
