Middle name for Anouk

[hokeycakey]

Hi all

Due in feb and have settled on a boys name but for a girl love anouk, both of our other children have family middle names but nothing seems to work!

What do you think of

Anouk Mary
Anouk Vera
Anouk Patsy
Anouk Anastasia

God they all look awful, any suggestions?

I think Anouk needs a longish name beginning with a vowel, or a more unusual European or Russian name as a mn to follow it.

Anastasia fits the bill very nicely.
Mary, Vera and especially Patsy don't, imo.

How about
Valentina
Cecelia
Marguerite
Mariana
Xanthe
Melisande
Arabella
Annabel/ Annabella
Eloise
Elodie
Emmeline
Evalina
Elizabeth
Eliska
Astrid
Antoinette
Antonia
Angeline
Angelie
Olivia
Ophelia
Ursula/ Ursulina
Isolda
Ines

I agree it needs a longer name.... maybe:

Emmanuelle
Gisele
Lucienne
Leonora
Bernadette
Helene
Celine
Lucille
Julienne
Natalie
Vivienne
Saskia
Camille
Albertine
Juliet
Elouise
Matilda
Viola
Christina
Estella
Josephine
Margaret
Emmeline
Stephanie
Mirabelle
Melodie
Harriet
Rosalie
Coralie
Madeline
Natalia
Katya
Marina
Gabriella
Gabrielle
Florence
Emily
Emilie
Emilia
Amelia
Isabelle
Isabella
Teresa

Hope that helps!

Anouk Rose

To keep the French theme, how about-

Cyprille?

My Haute Vienne based father has a neighbour whose DD is named this.

Henrietta?

Ooh yes valentina is lovely!
Thanks do much for all the suggestions really helpful

Anouk is a gorgeous name.

Love love love Anouk, me and DH were really considering it for our 1st (but all 3 been boys!!!) Agree that 3 syllables sound good.

I love Anouk. How about Anouk Elise, or Anouk Simone?

Really like Simone not heard that name in a long time bit it is gorgeous

Anouk is beautiful, I'd go for a longer mn too. Love Valentina

Really sorry but heard Anouk and thought it was a "made-up" name. It must work for your family, but I must admit, thought it was made up. Either way, best wishes to the baby xxx

How about plain, lovely Eve? I have an Eve Anouk.

I know an Anouk Mathilde which works v well IMO

I know a little Anouk, beautiful name, and I particularly like the above suggestion of Anouk Mathilde - also love Cyprille - meaning?

or Anouk Cybille

I do like the longer names with it but see that you want to use family names. Can you go with variations of your names?

Anouk Marianna/Marilla/Marguerite/Marissa/Rosemary
Anouk Victoria/Verity/Elvira/Violet
Anouk Patrice/Patricia/Patience

Or what about adding an additional name?

Anouk Elizabeth Mary
Anouk Vera Alexandra
Anouk Emmeline Patsy

Aw, glad you like Simone! This one is going to be a Simone if it's a girl. Or possibly an Ingrid.

Thoseclementineshoes thanks so much! That is a great help and given me lots of ideas!

Anouk Marianna is lovely :)

Lovely name. Only ever heard it in the book 'chocolat'.

Can I just ask re Anouk (becasue I keep on seeing it about)... how is it pronounced? A-nook, as in "a nook and cranny"..? I assume I am wrong!!!!

Yes it is a-nook!
