No One Pronounces the name correctly!

What's happening on the name front Kitt3n??

I still think you should go with what you love. Anika is so so so pretty!!

[Kitt3n]

Oh I really dont know! Anika just fits.....

But i know another anika (aneeka is how she says it) and I dont really like her.... !

[Aimz]

Do you have a list of names you can have handy when she is born?

[Kitt3n]

I think that is a good idea amysarah. ITs just so hard.

What does everyone think of Karolinka?

I wouldnt want her to be called carol/karoline, i'd hope her nick name would be Linka... / Linkee

[Aimz]

Linka as a nn is SO DAMN cute!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's gorgeous!

[Kitt3n]

Yeah I know a chick called Karoline (often called Karolinka) and she is cool. The chick I know called Anika... well, not so much.

And I do believe there is something in a name.......

But DD doesnt like Karolinka grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Ok for what it worth here are my tips when picking a name ( or making one up as we did )

Spell the name the way you want it to sound...

It took BHL 3 weeks to get DD2 name right every time he went to say it he would have to ask me how to say it again... But now it just rolls of the tounge...

Here is my sisters name I havent heard anyone else with this name in 27 years...


It Mareesa ( Maree - Sa ) Or my other sister is

Chandelle ( sh on dell )

My name is Natalia so if you went for that you child will get Natalie or Nataliea

[Lulu]

My Dp's name is Nikki - spelt that way. Nikita certainly is a boys name, as is Asher, Paris and Marion!
You can use them anyway you want I spose.

So there you go - you have all heard of a Nikki that is a boy!

Have you thought about spelling it Ahneeka??

We had Shaneeka/ Shanika on our list too...

We had more dramas with Girls names then boys names... DP and i just couldnt agree...

Tali- how do you pronounce your DD's name??? Is it pronounced how it looks???

[MumofLewis]

I would pronounce it Anika not Aneeka if I saw it. I think Ahnika might solve the problem.

How about:

Anais
Willow
Neve
Freya

Love your entire short list!

Just wanted to add one to the list... one name we like is "Breagha" (pronounced "Bree-ah") - means "beautiful" in Scottish Gaelic ... just something a bit different!
