Meika vs. nn Mei vs. for a girl?

Meike (also spelled Mieke) is a common Dutch and German girl name, which is a diminutive of Mary/Maria in Germany and the Netherlands. Mika is also a diminutive. In Germany, Meike is pronounced my-kuh. In the Netherlands, Meike is pronounced May-kuh. The month of May is also written as Mei, but pronounced like May. I like Mika, which is a common nickname for Meike, but was thinking of blending the two together and instead of Meike, making it Meika, and then using Mei as a cute nickname. What are your thoughts?

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
