Our story of Timeka
The letter e does more jobs in English than any other and gets no credit for any of them. It marks a long vowel from a distance in time and hope; it softens a c in dance and a g in change; it keeps a word from ending in a bare v, which English does not allow; it stands for a full vowel in bed and for nothing at all in have. And in unstressed syllables it is one of the letters pressed into service for the sound that has no letter. A single character carrying five unrelated responsibilities is not a design. It is what happens when nobody is in charge for six hundred years.
Meaningnot established
Not established
The name has no source outside the American naming system of the 1960s and 1970s. What distinguishes this spelling from its relatives is a single letter in a syllable nobody stresses — the record carries the same name with an a, an i, an e and an o in that position, and there is no authority anywhere that can say one of them is right.

Fashion outlook
Timeka sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.
