When is 笛 read as もにか？


I read that 笛 can be interpreted as もにか, I was wondering if that's only used
for names and if that reading is common/would be understood? Or is it more of
a "kirakira" name?

Thank you for your insight




It's not a common reading at all, and I knew no one whose name is 笛【モニカ】. If a
real Japanese child had a name like this today, people would almost certainly
call it a "kirakira name". But character names in fiction are often unique,
and "kirakira name" is usually not used to describe such names, especially
when the work is not set in modern Japan.
