Anika is my middle name from my Slovak background. I love it but EVERYONE pronounces it wrong. It is pronounced more like AN-NICH-KA. I can't really blame them though ı who would every think to pronounce it that way in Canada❤️

My name is Anika too. EVERYONE pronounces it wrong. It's sounds like Monica, but without the M. It's hard talking to people on the phone because they can never get it right. i've never met anyone else with the name Anika and before looking up my name, I had no idea there were so many other people with the'same name. I hope one day I can meet one of them lol.

My name is Anika too. MANY MANY people pronounce it wrong. For example every time I go to the doctor or the dentist the always pronounce is like Ana-kuh but it is actually supposed to be pronounce like Anna-kuh. I have NEVERRR MET SOMEONE NAMED ANIKA!! I love my name because it is unique other than an ordinary name like Kaylee, Zoey, Tiffany, or Gracie. (No hate to those names, they are beautiful too!!)

My name is Anika from a Swedish background and I live in America. My name is pronounced Ah-nih-kah ('nih' as in 'win'), but it is almost always pronounced by othe's as Ah-nee-kah ('nee' as in 'we'), A-nih-kah ('a' as in 'ant'), or a combination of both: A-nee-kah. I'm often called Monica, Hanukkah, or Anikin. I don't correct people anymore.

This is my name as well..my parents were expecting a boy...but had me (a girl) and so kept the name anyway..and people do pronounce it Eleesha..but many know what and where the name derives from, which means more to me than it being pronounced incorrectly..and I feel very fortunate to carry the name.

This was the name we choose. We like Javier but it is common in our Mexican heritage. And since it is excepted in Mexico to use the X in place of the J we decided to do the'same. But one problem how would his grandparents call him if they only speak spanish❤️ So we added the Z. So they call him Exzavier. We call him Zavi for short.

My name is Anika and everyone no matter who it is always pronounces my name as On-Ika or Ahnika, It's such a beautiful, unique, and lovely name to have. It defines who you are and make you feel good inside. No at my school or that I know of has the'same name as me. Many people have the name Annika but people need to understand that Anika is way different from Annika or Anika etc.
