<p>I think you should be more "费德瑞克" than 费代里科, as Rico is normally translated into "瑞克", and "de" sounds more similar to "德".</p>

<p>However, I wish that you could understand that normally in Chinese, an individual word can have multiple meanings, and sometimes those meanings are not related.
For the 4 words you have presented:
费代里科</p>

<p>费 : If it is used as a noun, it can be a common chinese family name Or fees &amp; fares Or costs; If it is used as a verb, it usually means cost.</p>

<p>代 : This word is usually considered as a verb, means represent/do someone else’s work in his or her place/replace; it can also be a rare Chinese family name, and the noun of represent.</p>

<p>里 : It’s similar to « Inside ».</p>

<p>科 : This is a noun. It can mean subject, family of animals &amp; plants(biologics),  a unit of collaborators.</p>

One may wonder whether most Chinese are aware of the common origin of Federico, Friedrich/弗里德里希 (as in Friedrich Engels) Fritz/弗利茨, Fred/福来德.
