My brother and his wife found out today that they are having a girl. Combined, this will be their 6th child (and unfortunately probably not the last). The name they've chosen is Anhika Katherine. I think it's a lovely name except for the spelling of Anika. I really can't get over the unnecessary h that they want to throw in there.
Apparently their reason for the h was that it would help people to pronounce the name correctly. I just don't really 'get' this reasoning because the name isn't that uncommon and if they wanted the h to help people correctly say the name then it should be Ahnika. They also believe this spelling is "unique" because according to the social security list of names (not sure what it's called exactly) only 9 people have this spelling of this name.
I don't like this spelling at all and looking at the name written out is difficult to do. I'm not really sure how set in stone they are with the spelling but I hope they change their minds. Thoughts on this??
