Re: Annika or Anika?

  • I like Annika, but that may just be because I know someone named Anneka.

  • DH is half Japanese, so he initially preferred Anika because it can be a Japanese name. That is, until I pointed out to him that people will think the pronunciation is a-NEE-ka. And so, we went with Annika.

    We still get a-NEE-ka from time to time, but I'm sure it would be a lot more frequent had we gone with Anika.
  • Neither... stop stealing my child's name.

     

    Just kidding.  We do one 'n'.  So maybe you should do two?  HA!  I am kidding.

    I prefer Annika but I have a cousin who spells it that way so that is what I am use to.

    That's not how Annika Sorenstam pronounces her name - just sayin'. 

  • I prefer Annika.

  • I also prefer the double "n," but it's a pretty name either way.

    I prefer Annika because it is the spelling more closely associated with my ethnic background. That may be another way to approach it.
