Love this name but am not brave enough to use it when we have dc3.

Do you like it?

My dd (3) is Anoushka - don't use it. It's ours! Grin

I thought Anoushka was a Russian diminutive of Anna/Anne - so you could always go with Anna, known as Anoushka...

pictish · 23/02/2012 09:18

It is. It means 'Little Anna' I think.

ImpYCelyn · 23/02/2012 09:20

Meant to say - I think it's lovely. And I also like Anna, very underused imo.

I knew an Indian Anushka - is it the same name?

FilterCoffee · 23/02/2012 09:25

I like it :)

Love it, I know a teenage Anoushka with a nn of Usha/Ushi (pn Oosha/Ooshee).

It sounds a little bit like a sneeze to me.

GinPalace · 23/02/2012 11:31

Love it! She sounds cool already. Grin

manicinsomniac · 23/02/2012 15:59

Lovely name.

I've only ever met one. I'm guessing she will be about 24 now.

I think you should do it.

Psammead · 23/02/2012 16:09

It's nice.

I like Anouk, too.
