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

Bad. Extremely bad.

Cassie258 · 17/05/2015 18:17

I thought it was Dutch?

Either way it's great! Do it Grin

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

austenozzy · 17/05/2015 18:19

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

Tattiesthroughthebree · 17/05/2015 18:21

I've loved it ever since I read "Chocolat"

buntingbingo · 17/05/2015 18:25

Ha ha thanks for the opinions. I was thinking pronounced with a softer oook than book.

Reminds me of Nanouk of the North.

IHeartKingThistle · 17/05/2015 18:39

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.

Whatamayday · 17/05/2015 18:43

A child with that name could only be really cute.

SunshineOnTheBalcony · 17/05/2015 18:53

DD's friend's name. I really like it.

myneighbourtotoro2 · 17/05/2015 19:12

Great name . Also makes me think of chocolat.

MitzyLeFrouf · 17/05/2015 19:29

It's very Euro chic.

lolalotta · 17/05/2015 19:46

I love Anoushka!

sweetpeame · 17/05/2015 21:30

I don't like it at all, it's quite ugly sounding.

Starlightbright1 · 17/05/2015 21:32

I love it also makes me think of chocolat

nooyearnooname · 17/05/2015 21:36

Lovely name but I recently heard of someone naming their child Anouk and telling our mutual friend her nickname would be 'Nookie'. OK this was abroad but mutual friend was quick to explain why for English speakers this would not be a good nickname!

GoulashSoup · 17/05/2015 21:49

I love it. Definitely makes me think of chocolat. Also love Anoushka.

theendoftheendoftheend · 17/05/2015 21:52

Makes me think if the dog from The Lost Boys (although I think his name begins with a N?)
Sorry, not helpful!
