Annika

I just found this out as well, it's a great cross cultural name.

This is my name, and we pronounce it "Ah-nika", with the nickname Ani.

I like Annika a lot but had a toxic friend named Aneka (pronounced the same) in middle school, and I can’t get over that association.

Me too.

Anniken, a Norwegian variation should be added to the database. (no it is not pronounced like Anakin)

Annika Jade is beautiful and unique!

My 13 yr old daughters name is Annika. Her nickname she goes by is Anni (ON nee), she also goes by AJ (Annika Jade). She also likes when her friends playfully call her Nik. It's such a beautiful name with so many variations, we absolutely love it. She doesn't like it when it's mispronounced which happens OFTEN. She also doesn't like that she knows of no one with the name but that's why we liked it so much. We get so many compliments.

I like this as ANN-ica not ON-ica

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I think I just kind of fell in LOVE with this name! The first nickname I thought of was Ann, but then I saw someone said Kiki could be a nickname. Which I never would have thought of if I had not seen it, but that is a cute nickname too. But I would possibly stick with the nickname Ann because my moms name is actually Anna. I am not really one of those who really names there kids after important people in there life, believe me there's nothing wrong with that, but its just that nobody in my family on both sides really does that! But I do kind of like that idea of Ann & Anna!!! So ya Annika is offialy going to be put on a list!!! <3

Annika is also a Hindu name (meaning: another name for the Goddess Durga) and with myself having grown up in another country (outside of my native India), I feel that this name would be a great fit for a future daughter!

Annika is a beautiful, bouncy, lively name. The "k" gives it some extra pizzazz which understated, classic Anne and Anna lack.

Kiki is a great idea! Love it!

Annika is lovely; had I not already known a young Annika, this name would be near the top of my favorites list!

Annika's a lovely, elegant, and also spunky and lively name. The more O-sounding pronunciation of the name (like Awn-nika, versus the way Anne is typically pronounced), the spelling, the way it's a more alternative version of Anne/Anna, nicknames Anni/Nika/Nikki etc.- all drew me in, don't think you can go wrong with it!

I love this name! So fun and sweet. The K really does the trick! Kiki as a nickname, maybe or Ann, or just beautiful Annika!

I love this name! I would just be worried about pronunciation.

Annika is the name of my great niece born January 31, 2015. A historic name too; her parents wanted the Irish as we all have Irish in us.
