[Opinions] Zsanika
This lovely Hungarian girl name is a guilty pleasure of mine! In Hungarian it's pronounced ZHAW-nee-kaw (zh is the same sound as the French j, like in Jacques), but there I also love the pronunciation as ZHAH-ni-kah. Unfortunately, the Zs spelling renders it quite hard to use as an American name. I haven't been able to find the meaning. Perhaps it was created as a Hungarian variant on Anika?

It's pretty. I like how it combines the s and z at the start of it.

I suspect it's related to the Hungarian versions of the John/Jane family of names, e.g. Zsanett, perhaps influenced by the Finnish Janika.
