What do you all think? I'm only 8 weeks but think I love this name.

Perfectly normal name in my opinion.

dependentspouse · 18/05/2015 21:14

Love it - I know a beautiful little girl with nn 'nuki.'

ch1134 · 18/05/2015 21:07

Love it. And I know an absolutely gorgeous teenage Anouk.

fourchetteoff · 18/05/2015 12:22

Love it.

But it's one of those names that is so firmly 'forrin' I would at least expect there to be some history of Frenchness (or Dutchness!) in the family to use it.

TakeMeUpNorthMountain · 18/05/2015 12:21

Love it. Wish we'd had to courage to use it. Super cute.

holmessweetholmes · 18/05/2015 12:20

Lovely!

OrionsAccessory · 18/05/2015 12:18

I love it.

VT82 · 18/05/2015 12:13

Reminds me of evil Imhotep's wife from the Mummy films - Anck (pr Anuk) Su Namun

I like it!

FatWalda · 18/05/2015 11:45

I've always thought this a very peculiar name, and it reminds me of Anorak. Sorry.

Kittykatmacbill · 18/05/2015 10:11

Utterly love wish we had thought of it for dd1 her name is too similar to use it!

Google tells me the lost boys dog was called Nanook so you were very close. Thanks for all the replies. It's mainly confirmed my love for the name. I do worry that in an English accent it doesn't sound as nice, and also that it wouldn't go with our very sturdy surname. But I guess I have a while to think about it.

Anouk and cranny Hmm

I prefer Anoushka with Anouk as a nn

Makes me think if the dog from The Lost Boys (although I think his name begins with a N?)
Sorry, not helpful!

GoulashSoup · 17/05/2015 21:49

I love it. Definitely makes me think of chocolat. Also love Anoushka.

woolshortage · 17/05/2015 21:48

Lovely name but I recently heard of someone naming their child Anouk and telling our mutual friend her nickname would be 'Nookie'. OK this was abroad but mutual friend was quick to explain why for English speakers this would not be a good nickname!

A child with that name could only be really cute.
