Congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annikaanikaannekeanneka-etc#post-2848145 Sat, 29 Sep 2018 20:09:17 +0000 lady baltimore 2848145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you really like the rhymes-with-Monica pronunciation, I have seen Onnika before.</p> <p>@LCTBQE: Yeah, my DH tried to say that it would be okay, we'd just pronounce it differently. Can you imagine how confusing that would be for the kid?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annikaanikaannekeanneka-etc#post-2848140 Sat, 29 Sep 2018 19:43:41 +0000 Foodnerd81 2848140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I have know exactly two people named Annika, one pronounced each way. So I would definitely have to ask which way. I like both versions but dislike that she would have to correct people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annikaanikaannekeanneka-etc#post-2848134 Sat, 29 Sep 2018 19:13:32 +0000 pachamama 2848134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know an Anneke that rhymes with Monica but 99% of people wouldn't know that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annikaanikaannekeanneka-etc#post-2848133 Sat, 29 Sep 2018 19:10:43 +0000 nana87 2848133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Annika and rhymes w Monica because of i mostly think of it as a Northern European/Scandinavian name and would follow that pronounciation; I think it’s a lovely name </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annikaanikaannekeanneka-etc#post-2848131 Sat, 29 Sep 2018 19:07:54 +0000 LCTBQE 2848131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love Annika rhyming with Monica or Danika, either one—but I’m honestly not sure how to pronounce it 😶 makes me wonder if she’d be in for a lifetime of correcting people. </p> <p>@lady baltimore: I loved the name Thalia and every time my husband saw it on my list he’d pronounce the Th like “the” or “that” instead of with a silent H. Totally killed it for me if her own dad couldn’t figure it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annikaanikaannekeanneka-etc#post-2848130 Sat, 29 Sep 2018 19:03:01 +0000 LAZB 2848130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know an Annika, rhymes with Danica </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annikaanikaannekeanneka-etc#post-2848124 Sat, 29 Sep 2018 18:19:19 +0000 wrkbrk 2848124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anika = Danica! Love that one. Don’t care for the other pronounciations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annikaanikaannekeanneka-etc#post-2848119 Sat, 29 Sep 2018 17:52:29 +0000 nwm 2848119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew an Annika, rhymes with Monica, and always loved the name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annikaanikaannekeanneka-etc#post-2848117 Sat, 29 Sep 2018 16:50:51 +0000 lady baltimore 2848117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daughter probably would have been named Annika, except that DH rhymes it with Monica, and I rhyme it with Danica. :bummed: Love this name! </p> <p>The Anika spelling makes me question whether it is supposed to have a long E sound in the middle (uh-NEE-kah, like the actress Anika Noni Rose). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annikaanikaannekeanneka-etc#post-2848111 Sat, 29 Sep 2018 16:37:40 +0000 Mrsbells 2848111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: congrats! I've only ever heard of it pronounced "Aneeka" to rhyme with Anita and that was on the tv show Empire. I dont know anyone in real life with the name. I voted for Anika but I can see people pronouncing that wrong </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annikaanikaannekeanneka-etc#post-2848107 Sat, 29 Sep 2018 15:31:40 +0000 tysonja 2848107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hi bee's :). we just found out that we're expecting again, so i wanted to ask you guys about the name above! what pronunciation do you prefer/feel is more common, and which spelling? </p> <p>Rhymes with Monica, or Danica? </p> <p>Thanks guys! </p>
