    Kitten i have same issue with Tiahna (Ti-Ah-Na..) people seem to say Ti-anna... Grrr


    LOVE some of the names on your list. We have Nikita, Tamika and Talitha on our list. When i was looking i found a great site for names.... aussiethings .com.au/babynames



    Anika Graceful. A form of Ann. Also see Anneka. Anica, Anicah, Anikah, Aniqua, Aniquah, Anyca, Anycah, Anyka, Anykah, Anyqua, Anyquah
    you could easily add the Ah or Ar to these

    I think the spelling of Ahnika would solve the problem of pronounciation but then she will always be spelling it for people.

    I really LOVE LOVE LOVE the name Matisse from your list - it's GORGEOUS! Although it doesn't go with the middle name you want to use. I'll come back later when I think of some more.

    Im still confused with the pronounciation, is it Anika like Anikan Skywalker (starwars) but an Arh sound instead of an 'A' like cAt

    sort of like harmonica but with an 'a' harmARnica.

    What about using ' Like A'nika -it would stop people saying 'An' like 'can'

    What about Mehkelti

    Seriously though, I know how hard it is for people to pronounce your bubs name - I'm so used to it now that it doesn't really bother me... LOL

    And FWIW - I am always spelling MY name to people - and most people just end up calling me Melinda anyway grrrrrrrr...... (like helloooo people, do you SEE a "D" in there - nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!) people will ALWAYS get it wrong, even if it is an easy name!!!!!

    I like Ahnika - just for the record.
