My Belgian employer's staff database shows: 3 x Anneke, 1 x Annike, but none of of the others. 17000 people work here so a fair representation. My neighbour across the road is also Anneke.

I went to college with a girl called Annon whose mother was Dutch.

In fact Anneke means "little Anne".

Anneke is Dutch

Annika is Scandinavian, Anika is African (I think)

It's Anneke. Pronounced ON-uh-kuh (where 'on' is pronounced the American way, not the British way, and 'uh' as the unstressed article 'a').
