I have the same name and mine si spelled the real dutch way. I have told my Oma (grandma in dutch) and Tante Anita (aunt in dutch) about the Anika spelling and they said they've never seen a girl in Holland with the name Anika spelled like that.

how is it pronounced????

My niece is named Anika and it is pronounced
Ah Nee Ka. I hated the name at first but we call her "Ani" for short.

My name is Anika, lol i used to get teased alot in school. ive always wanted to know what it stands for :D

I think it's beautiful, and love the spelling

it is pronounced AH NA KA

Its my name and i love it. Although a lot of people have a hard time pronouncing it. its really easy, AH NEE KA

i find my name of interest people i meet say its cut and nice.its not hard to pronounce AH NEE KAH. its small and suits my personality. i love it

anika is my dsughter's name and we pronounce it ON A KA.

My best friend's name is Annika and her family pronounces it AUN I KA. Although there is nothing wrong with other pronouciations or spellings i just think it is a B..E..A ..U TIFUL name!!!!!

im currently pregnant. and ive decided to name my baby, ANIKA.

I know that the know that my name is supposed to be pronounced Ah-nee-ka; however, I have always pronounced my name Anne-i-ka. This has caused reference to the Star Wars Character Aniken. LOL!!! So not funny anymore. But I honestly love my name and it is nice to know that there are others out there with the name, it beyond uncommon in this country, still looking for the little license plate with my name on it and the closest that I get is "Anne."

Now I have heard that Anne Frank's nickname was "Anneke" - I don't know if that is true, but I thought that it was pretty cool.

Best of luck to all,

Anneke

My name is Annicka I go by the name Nicki, or Nicka

Moma in Beljin (From Beijum) is grandma.She was born there as a child and came to America at age of 19.Then went back married with 5 kids.and became a missonary with my Bopa (grandpa).I love the name Anika and might name 1 of my kids Anika.

My name is Anika too. I really hate it when people mis propnounce my name but what can you do.

Hi. my name is also Aneka, spelt differently obviously, My father is dutch, my surname is now different due to the lovely institution of marriage. I have also had to explain my name through my life, was never really ok with it, but now i love it! I also got the Starwars jokes, didn't help that I had a best friend called Nobi!CAN YOU IMAGINE!!! i was named after one of my Fathers relatives. i personally don't like my name being shortened. I take a lot of pride in having a unique name.
