I'll take a guess...

うやうや;恭;Respectful [恭しい]

こ;子;Child

Respectful Child?

and, what context was it used in?

You can't find it in any dictionary because it's not a word, it's a name. :mrgreen:

That demonstates one of the reasons Rosetta Stone drives me crazy!

It happens to everyone, not just Rosetta users. :)

Japanese names just tend to look like normal words at first. Keep in mind what names you've already heard before, and you'll eventually get a feel for them.

Another kanji and then 子 is usually a reliable indicator of a female first name, for example.
