I like Anoushka, also Anouk which is similar.

Also like Freya a lot.

Not too keen on the others.

Do you have a Russian or Eastern European connection?

YuffieKisaragi · 03/11/2012 14:31

Nope Mrs, they just happen to be the names I like..hadn't realised until I saw them written down they do look somewhat Russian!

I like Sasha best.

Freya is ok.

Not keen on Saskia or Anoushka.

MrClaypole · 03/11/2012 14:45

Only like Sasha out of OP's names I'm afraid.

Love Anouk though!

IHeartKingThistle · 03/11/2012 14:47

Love Saskia.

mrsbugsywugsy · 03/11/2012 15:19

In that case how about

Natasha
Alexandra
Anna
Katerina

I'm Saskia and my DD is Freya, so like those! I don't see them as eastern European or Russian - Freya is Norse and Saskia is Dutch.

Dislike Anoushka and Sasha, which I do regard as more "harsh" eastern European.

ooooh, Anoushka. Love it. And I've only ever known one, 16 years ago.

Sasha is nice too. Freya is ok but I'm not that keen and I don't really like Saskia.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/11/2012 16:38

Only like Freya.

EdithWeston · 03/11/2012 16:39

Sasha is widely used as a boys name. Are you OK with a boyish unisex name? And I think it's better as nn for Alexandra rather than stand-alone.

I think Saskia is lovely.

Anoushka is OK; not so keen on Freya, but it's a perfectly good name.

Frikadellen · 03/11/2012 18:07

Not keen on Freya but adore all the others beautiful choices.
