原文: My name is Danica and the way my mother intended for my name to be pronounced is Duh-knee-kah. I understand there are many pronunciations that may be used for my name, that does not change the fact that it is immensely bothersome to me to hear my name mispronounced (by my standards) especially since it has been for as long as I can remember.
原文: Danica Sue Patrick is an American professional stock car racing driver, model, and advertising spokeswoman. She is the most successful woman in the history of American open-wheel racing— her win in the 2008 Indy Japan 300 is the only women's victory in an IndyCar Series race and her third place in the 2009 Indianapolis 500 is the highest finish there ever by a woman. She competed in the series from 2005 to 2011. In 2012, she competed in the NASCAR Nationwide Series and occasionally in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
原文: My name is Danica (Dan-ih-ka) and I live in the U.S. Most people here pronounce it Dawn-ih-ka or Duh-nee-ka. I correct them and we move on. I know the origin of the name is Slavic (My family is Croatian), but I don't think pronouncing it this way as opposed to Daneetza is rude or wrong. It's the same way as with other names, like Leslie (Les-ly versus Lez-ly). I used to hate my name when I was younger because I'm a very shy person and my name brought me a lot of attention. Over the years, I've learned to appreciate the beauty of the name and explaining it's background to others. I think it's completely okay to pronounce it any way that the owner intended it to be pronounced. Just because it was originally pronounced one way doesn't mean it can't change or differ, that happens in life. Neither my family nor I (nor any Croatians I spoke to when I visited Croatia) find it disrespectful to pronounce it the way we do. Americans don't especially deal with accents and it would've caused more problems than it could make up for in history.
原文: My name is Danica and I'm from Croatia.The name is slavic and it is not pronounced with -kah. It is Da-nee-TSA. If it were -kah then it'd say DaniKa not DaniCa. It's a bit stupid and disrespectful from my point of view to say it wrong just because -kah matches your language pronunciation. It's the same as mispronouncing Japanese, French or any other "weird" name and thinking it's okay just because you can't say it right. For eg. Michael here is Majkl. Would any Michael want me to write down his name as Majkl? Of course not. I feel the same when I have to teach people how to pronounce my name..
原文: I love this name and if I ever have a girl it's my number one choice. My mother's family is Serbian so we would pronounce it the way I've always heard it, Dah-nee-tsah. My husband worries about a lifetime of correcting people who pronounce it Dan-i-kah. With the ridiculous name trends of late I have a feeling that she won't be the only one correcting people's pronunciation. Or I could go full American and name her "Dawnytza". I am kidding, that is awful.
原文: My name is Danica. But it's pronounced Dawn-eh-tsah. Emphasis on the dawn with a short "e" sound that sounnds more like "eh" than an "ee" tone. :)Dawn-eh-tsahBackground is Slovenian.
原文: My name is Danaka. I have never met someone with the same spelling. It is always prounced weird da-noka or da-nika. I love my name- it suits me very well I think, and it is a very different, beautiful name.
原文: A female name origination from ancient Slavic mythology. Before Christianity came to the Slavs of Eastern Europe, the deity Danica was prayed to in the early morning when she was said to appear in the dawn sky as the first star, or morning star. Danica was associated with the sun and was thought to be the sun's younger sister. With the expansion of monotheism "Danica" became less associated with the deity and came to become a common girl name, holding the literal translation-"morning star." This meaning is connected with the name Danica properly pronounced Dah-nee-tza. Its original spelling was in Cyrillic, and is a popular name throughout Serbia, and countries of the former Yugoslavia.

翻译文: 英语中的发音实际上是DAN-ica,而不是da-NI-ca。
原文: The pronunciation in English is actually DAN-ica, not da-NI-ca.
原文: It is a very... uneducated sounding name, especially when pronounced "Dan-Ih-Kah." Among the other atrocities of the world "Danica" is truly a Heaven-sent. I will not go as far as to state it unprofessional (borderline, though), but it is very geriatric and childish (a name that will never grow with the woman), perhaps even ugly-- nearly "kre8tiv" made-up sounding in English/American usage. As strange as this may seem... "Danic" ("a" excluded) is visually pleasing (never a given name, please).
原文: A main character in Amelia Atwater-Rhodes books (Hawksong especially) is Danica Shardae. I think in the books its pronounced 'Dan-ee-ka' or something like that...
原文: 'Zvijezda Danica' is a Slavic phrase for 'morning star'. Also, in Slavic mythology, Danica was the personification of the Morning star, the Slavic equivalent of Venus.

翻译文: 我听说它发出两种方式,DAN-ik-a或Da-NEE-ka。
原文: I have heard it pronounced two ways, DAN-ik-a or Da-NEE-ka.
原文: When pronounced correctly (dah-nee-tsah), Danica is a gorgeous, sophisticated, magical and beautiful name. I love the meaning. I like the connection to Venus and "morning star" sounds so poetic. Danica and Chaska have to be my favourite "Venus" names. However, I really don't like the way anglophones pronounce it (da-nuh-kuh), or the spelling Danika. I feel they butcher such a beautiful Slavic name. I'd only ever pronounced Danica dah-nee-tsah.

翻译文: 在斯拉夫语中,这个名字总是发音为DAH-ni-tsah(所有音节都很短)。
原文: In Slavic languages, this name is always pronounced DAH-ni-tsah (all syllables are short).
原文: This name is not Czech (doesn't mean that it can't be used among Czechs, of course), but it's definitely of Slavic origin. As such, it should only be pronounced dah-neets-ah. If you want it right, that is.

翻译文: Croatian的Danica的发音是dah-nee-tsah。
原文: Croatian pronunciation of Danica is dah-nee-tsah.
原文: This is a pretty first name for a girl with the last name Morgenstern; "Morning Star Morning Star" (I am serious and I like that), and a good middle name would have been Zahra ("Bright"). One other idea; if the father is named Daniel and the mother Monica, this would have been a wonderful name for their little girl.
原文: My sister's name is Danica, but I recently discovered it has an association with the Devil. The quote came from www.wikipedia.org.Lucifer is a Latin word meaning "light-bearer" (from lux, lucis, "light", and ferre, "to bear, bring"), a Roman astrological term for the "Morning Star", the planet Venus. The word Lucifer was the direct translation of the Greek eosphorus ("dawn-bearer"; cf. Greek phosphorus, "light-bearer") used by Jerome in the Vulgate, having mythologically the same meaning as Prometheus who brought fire to humanity.

翻译文: 据我所知,这个名字的发音是Da-nee-tsah,或这样的。
原文: As far as I know, the pronunciation of this name is Da-nee-tsah, or something like this.
原文: My name's Danica. I live in the UK, and I pronounce it DAN-i-kah. (Though I wouldn't say there was obvious emphasis on any of the syllables really) There seems to be a great range of differing pronunciations for this name. I derived this username, Weaponstar, from the meaning "morning star", because a morning star is also a medieval weapon (a bit like a mace).
原文: Danica is a star and it is also a name of a perfume. People with this name are kind of intellectual and honest. They're quite vocal and artistic also.

原文: This name has started to grow on me. The meaning of this name is very pretty. I would pronounce it "dan-ika".
原文: I like this name a lot! Very different and sweet sounding. I would name my daughter Danica or Danika. I think I prefer the c in the name better though. Looks better to me.
原文: Danica is Czech. I would know. My name is Danica and I live in the Czech Capital of Oklahoma (Yukon). The pronunciation of Danica varies depending on the person. My pronunciation is Dan-i-kuh. It's fairly uncommon. I've come across only a few "Danica's." Although I grew up hating it, I've grown to adore my name.

原文: My name is Danica. It is pronounced Da-nik-a. I have seen some discussion on the pronunciation of it and I wanted to add my two cents. I rarely get someone who can appropriately pronounce my name unless they are European. Most Americans pronounce it Dan-eeka.
