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

It's gorgeous. In the book I think she refers to her as Anoushka at one point so I always assumed it was a nickname. I love both though.

Reminds me of Nanouk of the North.

Hmm, reminds me of something you'd dip pitta bread into. Sorry.

Is it pronounced A-Nook as in rhymes with "book"?

I thought it was Dutch?

Either way it's great! Do it Grin

It's very popular here (the Netherlands). My very gorgeous trendy neighbours have a daughter called Anouk. I love the name.
