If I like Anoushka…

What other names will I like?

I’m not 100% sold on Anoushka/Anouska although I do love it! Are there other girl names with a similar vibe?

Not keen on anything “classic”, old fashioned or cutesy. Thanks!

Mishka is super cute but feels more like a nickname.

I had Anoushka on my list as well as Althea and Xanthe.
We ended up with a boy however

Thewalrusandthecarpenter · 11/09/2024 17:44

Anouska is lovely. How about Perdita, Natasha, Miranda, Ophelia?
