I am not sure about where the person is from etc. but I do know that he (first name Josh) is a producer for a film about what professional swimmers do on their days off. I found a link that includes this name and in that link it indicates that the person (if it is the same person) was co-captain on USC's swimming team. Here is the link: http://usctrojans.cstv.com/sports/m-swim/recaps/033098aaa.ht...

Has anyone heard of this last name or know how it's pronounced in English? I am trying to come up with a good Katakana form of the pronunciation. Thank you!

Any clues as to either where the person lives now, or where they (their ancestors) are from originally? That would make a big difference.

I've never heard of this last name, and I am only guessing from my searches on the Internet and a sound file of a synonym of the word llika...When I did a google search, I saw that a lot of the websites were South American (Quenchua).
I looked it up in a word database because I couldn't find one for names.

I clicked on Quenchua, and "pronounciation", a sound file. The pronounciation sounded like リッカー

or maybe リッカ (sorry, please ignore the slash) I submitted my response when I hadn't finished typing!

Just a guess.

Is the spelling correct? Rather strange to see a name spelled "LLika", not "Llika". If the spelling is "Lika", then the pronounciation should be "ライカ", I think.
