Comments for ANNIKA:

Annika is pronounced as UNN-ick-ah in Sweden. Very popular among today's mothers, not among today's babies. Annika was Pippi's friend in "Pippi Longstocking" by Astrid Lindgren, one reason for the name's popularity in Sweden. Annika Sörenstam is a famous Swedish golf player.

Not to offend anyone but I find this name cold and a bit harsh.

My best friend is called Annika-Jane. I really love her name. I've never met another Annika-Jane though.

I used to not really like this name at all, but then I met a little girl named Annika and I grew to like it.

Annika Hansen is the character name of Seven of Nine of Star Trek: Voyager.

I LOVE the name Annika. I had never of heard of it until I saw Voyager, but it grew on me rather quickly. My therapist also has a daughter named Annika, ironically born the year "Seven of Nine" (human name Annika Hansen) was introduced to the series. Nope, no connection there.

I recently met a little girl with this name, only hers was spelt "Anyka". I dislike that spelling immensely, but I do find Annika to be a nice name. :)

I think Annika is quite cute, but you could also imagine a strong willed business woman too.

I prefer the name Annika pronounced like Anna-cuh. I'd like to name my daughter Annika one day.

This name used to be very popular in Germany in the 1980s. It isn't used very much now. The spelling Anika has also been used quite a lot.

I think it's pretty.

I just named my daughter Annika and I LOVE it! People compliment me/her all the time when I say what her name is. Although many people at first think I am saying "Monica." Also it has been highly annoying that so many people see the spelling Annika and pronounce it A-NEE-KA.

I first encountered this name on a rather unattractive baby on Maury. It didn't even sound like a real name to me, and my younger brother thought it sounded too much like "a nigga." The name just sounds harsh to me, and is also getting a bit too trendy; I prefer the Dutch form Anique.
