This name is fine (and very nice, I will add). It’s pronounced AUH-niken, anyway, so I don’t see the problem with it being confused with AN-ni-ken, especially if you’re only hearing the name. Spelling-wise, maybe, but it’s still distinct enough from Anakin to be its own thing.
I think a bad thing about this name that it is similar to 'Anakin' from the Star Wars movies, but I think it can go good for a woman of any age and it's a great diminutive of Anna too!
Well, can you see an 80 year old Brittany, Tiffany, Katie, or Jessica, either? Those names will be considered "old" one day. I think this name is strong, but unfortunately, it will always be associated with Star Wars.
This is such a cute name! The only problem is that I don't think 'Anniken' ages very well. It's cute on a kid, and nice on a teen, and not too bad on a young adult, but can you really see an 80 year old Anniken? Maybe for a middle name it would be better.
