There are several pronounciations, but I say ANNE-ih-kuh.

I prefer the Finnish prn. of AHN-nee-kah.

o, just say anika, it is in Slovene too

I've only ever heard ANN-ih-kuh :-)

"Star Trek: Voyager" says AW-nik-ah

---

And I say the same. I think I was definitely influenced by Voyager, but I can't recall whether I heard Annika first on it or not.

In Sweden, it is pronounced UNN-ee-kah (or ONN-ee-kah), it is hard to describe without a phonetic alphabet. The big difference is in the pronounciation of the first A.

I think Annika is originally Dutch (Anneke) but I'm not sure how it is pronounced there.

---

I think that I myself would pronounce it as ANN-ick-a if I went to USA, but I don't know which pronounciation is considered "correct" in USA.

"ahn ih ka," I'd say.

ah-nee-kah I think.
