Vicie was originally a pet form of Lovisa used in the southern USA during the 19th century. Lovisa is a Swedish form of Louisa, but was also used as an alternate form of Louisa in the USA, pronounced "luh-VY-suh". It was also spelled Levisa and Lavisa; there is a river in Kentucky and Virginia called the Levisa River, which is named after Louisa, the Duchess of Cumberland.

Taneshia is simply an alternate spelling of Tanisha. Tanisha is a name which became popular in the African-American community because of the actress Ta-Tanisha, but so far I have been unable to determine where she obtained her stage name. It is possible, as this site speculates, that it is simply an elaboration of Tania using the -isha suffix that was very popular in the African-American community at that time.
