It's the name of the little girl in the Chocolat books, isn't it? I really like it.

I do live it.


But would wonder if it was short for Anoushka...is that just me being bonkers?

Anyway, I loved reading Chocolat and the sequels, so love the name Smile

Sorry, yes, girls name!

I'd forgotten the Chocolat connection Jenny but it was a beautiful film Smile

I know an Anouk. I'm not very keen on it, I find it a little harsh- sounding.

DuggeeHugs · 30/06/2017 21:51

I believe it is a standalone name, rather than a shortening of Anoushka; happy to be shown otherwise though as I don't 100% trust some of the naming books I've read!

Meaning is grace.

It's the dog from The Lost Boys. Lovely name but has that connection for me.

Think the dog's name is Nanouk, justdont.

To me it is a very harsh sounding, ugly name. Sorry, but I don't like it at all.

Makes me think of the French actress Anouk Aimee .

Thanks for all the replies! We've been struggling to find names we like individually, nevermind ones we actually agree on.

Since (re)discovering this name it's become a firm favourite for me but DH is unconvinced. If DC turns out to be a girl I'm hoping we can compromise on this as a middle name. Of course, we still won't have a first name...
