I have been lurking here for some time, but just registered so that I could reply to your post. My DD4 is named Anika Bridget. We pronounce 'Anika' as A-nee-ka. Sometimes she gets called Annika (an-i-ka). It does annoy me sometimes. I tell people that it is pronounced like Anita, but with a K in place of a t. She has many nicknames - Nooks, Neeka, Neeky.

People often comment that it is a pretty name. I have only ever met one other Anika, and she was in her 20's.

I hope this helps.
