Another question I forgot to ask: thoughts on alliterative sibling names? We have an E boy already and like another E boy name, so if we have a boy after this and we go with Emma.... we will have three Es. I find that somewhat obnoxious but DH thinks it doesn't matter.
We pronounce it AHN-i-ka. Occasionally someone will pronounce it ANN-i-ka, which is mildly annoying but everyone of importance to us (family, teachers, friends, ect...) always pronounce it correctly.
Stina sounds very odd to me and I really don't like it at all. Annika and Linnea are refreshing as they are less common. Emma and Claire are great, but very conventional. I like all but Stina.

If you want most people to know that you named her AHN-I-ka then you should use Anika as the spelling. Ana=Ahna Anna=Ann(a)…...2 N's say Ann. I really like Anika and also Annika. Suggesting Lena Estella Nina Lillia Etta

Re: Annika, Emma, Claire, Linnea, Stina
Emma is cute, but way too popular. I don't care for the other three.
I really like Anika and also Annika.
