I always loved the name [name_f]Annika[/name_f], it was actually a name for a character of mine. However upon looking into it I realized that it’s the name of a character in [name_f]Star[/name_f] Trek: Voyager a show that I used to watch all the time with my dad when I was young. So it instantly has a special meaning to me. However, it’s pronounced on-ika and not anne - ika in the show, which I actually like better. So I was wondering what you name berries thought of it & suggestions for a middle name.

I’ve only heard it pronounced ann-ika. It’s really not my style at all, but it’s nice enough.

Thank you all for your suggestions! (:

I really like [name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]…

But my last name is Kierstead. …and although I don’t mind longish names, I wonder if some are just too long?

I’ve always pronounced it ohn-ika. I went to school with a girl who spelt her name [name_f]Anika[/name_f]. Taking “[name_f]Ann[/name_f]” out might reduce the amount of people using that pronunciation.

[name_m]Just[/name_m] throwing this out there but I work with a woman named [name_f]Anika[/name_f] and she pronounces it uh-nee-kuh.

I like [name_f]Annika[/name_f]. The K gives it a certain spunk that most other [name_f]Anna[/name_f] variations lack.

I love Voyager and [name_u]Seven[/name_u] was a very good character (rarely called [name_f]Annika[/name_f], but fans of the show would remember the connection). It’s a connection that’s there but not super blatant.

I pronounce it almost half way between ON-ih-kuh and [name_f]ANN[/name_f]-ih-kuh, more like AHN-ih-kuh

[name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] would be a beautiful combo.

I love [name_f]Annika[/name_f]!

I know a lovely [name_f]Anneka[/name_f], but she pronounces it [name_f]ANN[/name_f]-ee-kuh too. I agree that [name_f]Anika[/name_f] might possibly work better? As for middle names, WDYT of:
[name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]

I would want to stick with [name_f]Annika[/name_f] and to how it’s pronounced on the show ([name_m]Even[/name_m] though, I like all the ways to be able to pronounce this) after all it’s a name that plays homage to one of my favorite shows as a kid (mostly because I watched it with my dad) I’m really close to my dad and it’s just filled with all sorts of good memories.

Thanks for all the possible middle name ladies! I’m sort of leaning toward [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], because my grandmother on my father’s side was named Roseltha and they called her Rozie, so it could pay homage for her (but nothing is set in stone)

I would pronounce it the same way as you, xrekani.

I think [name_f]Annika[/name_f], is great; pretty & spunky. I would stick with your spelling.
