[name]How[/name] do you pronounce [name]Annika[/name]?

Thanks!

[name]ANN[/name]-icka? That would be my first reaction

ashthedreamer · May 10, 2012, 7:02pm

I say [name]AH[/name]-nih-kah, although I’ve heard [name]ANN[/name]-ih-kah and ah-NEE-kah, too.

kerrie · May 10, 2012, 7:33pm

Oh, I like [name]AH[/name]-nih-kah better, haha!

mamam · May 10, 2012, 8:08pm

[name]Ah[/name]-nih-kah, rhyming with hannukah?

_aspen · May 10, 2012, 8:08pm

I pronounce it the same way.

ksheja · May 10, 2012, 8:11pm

[name]AH[/name]-ni-ka for me too.

Dantea · May 11, 2012, 8:01am

I say [name]AH[/name]-nih-kah.

This is how I would say it unless corrected by the individual with the name.

mayjune · May 11, 2012, 10:20am

This is how I would unless I were corrected by the name bearer.

In my head, I just automatically say it [name]ANN[/name]-icka, whether that’s wrong or not. Probably because if reminds me of Anakin Skywalker- my parents are big [name]Star[/name] Wars fans.

I would pronounce it [name]ANN[/name]-i-kah, though I consider either [name]ANN[/name]-i-kah or [name]AH[/name]-ni-kah correct. I tend to pronounce [name]Anne[/name] like [name]Ann[/name] instead of Ahn, especially at the beginning of a name. It’s probably just my accent.
