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.

Anneke I'd say

Anneke

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').
