HelpMajolica
I was watching Antiques Roadshow and they were talking about majolica, which is a kind of tin-glazed pottery. According to Wikipedia, the name may be derived from Majorca or perhaps Malaga.
I think Majolica sounds nice, like a mix of Marjorie and Angelica, perhaps. Do you think it could work as a name? Or is it too weird? (I'm not planning to use it for real!)

As Bear said below, if you are familiar with majolica items, as I am, this does not work as a name.

Reminds me of Kajolica, which was the middle name of the main character from the Nickelodeon show "The Mighty B!" It's cursed to actually say the middle name.

It does look rather name-ish, and the sound is okay. However it reminds me of Taffeta (child's name I saw once) - something a yummy mummy would use.

It looks like a Serbian or Croatian name to my eyes. But it's interesting. Don't know if it would work as a name, though.

I read it and thought you'd misspelled Majorca so it makes sense that it might come from that.
I don't really like the sound of it, but then I don't like Angelica very much either the LEEK-a is just not very appealing to me.

Majolica is pronounced, "mah-HAHL-ih-cuh."

I've never heard it that way, in snobby, china circles, and "Antiques Roadshow." But it's certainly possible. :-)
