HelpRe: Ariana or Annika?
in reply to a message by Tammy
I like Annika more than Ariana.
How do you pronounce Annika? I'm pronouncing it "AN-ee-ka", but I have also known an "AHN-ee-ka".

pronunciation
I'm pronouncing it "ANN-ih-kuh" but I think I'm getting the pronunciation from the old Pippi Longstockings movies. Wasn't that her best friend's name?

In Sweden the name is pronounced AHN-nee-ka, and in the original version of the Pippi Longstocking movie as well.

All of the movies in the US were voice-over dubbed, so that probably has an effect on the perception of the pronunciation. That, and we just pronounce things differently in the US, sometimes even flat-out incorrectly. A good example is Dido. In the US everyone pronounces this "DI-doh" but in Latin it should be "DEE-doh."
I suppose this name's pronunciation will depend on how the parents want it to sound if they are American.
