Just thought I'd jump in here when I came across this thread.
DD was born in september and we called her Anica. I chose the spelling because that's how my aunt's name was spelt and it was nice to have a reference to someone in our family, especially one who has passed on.
We do pronounce it phoenetically, and yes we've already got a stirrer of a friend who calls her Anikan Skywalker. But it is done in a friendly spirit.
We get so many compliments on her name and though it really should only be important that we like the name, it is lovely to hear them.
