I love Anika but spelled Annika and I love Helene.
Than
Anika/ Annika is the same name, meaning little Anna/ Ana.
Anikan, like the guy in Star Wars, is pronounced with an a like apple, a short i like ick, and then the last part like "kin" as in someone related to you - ANN-i-kin.
We would pronounce Anika with a short i as well, like ANN-i-kuh, short a like apple and not with the New Jersey short a like we normally pronounce Ann but not with a British short a like they pronoune Ann ("ahhhh", like "I'm so relaxed."). Does that make sense? The reason for the spelling is that our other daughter has a five letter name with a k (that some people are confused about because it really was a boy's name) and our son's name is six letters, so I wanted the girls to have five letter names with a k.
Anika is an accepted spelling of the name. I didn't just make it up.
Hope that helps.
