Thoughts please on the name Anouk?

[SleepyRoo]

I like the sound, it'd be a tribute to an Ann relative, and we have a slight French connection. However I may be swamped by hormones at this point (due any day). Thoughts?

I don't like it - it isn't my style

It's a nice name, I went to school with one!

Prefer other Anne variations, such as Anya.

I really like it

I don't like it, sorry. Agree with pp that it sounds harsh.

I was going to say I really like Anoushka as an alternative but I didn't even realise Anouk was French - I thought it was East European

Anneka is nice too.

It's a bit Lost Boys, yes I know it was Nanook. Buy it is still a dogs name....

I think its lovely. Hope you call her that!

Anouk is a Dutch name, becoming popular because of a French singer.
Annick is French.

It's beautiful. I know an adorable little Anouk who sometimes goes by Nou Nou.

I hadn't realised it was French. It sounds Inuit to me - I see inukshuks when I hear it - that's not a bad connotation.

I love it! A friend of a friend is anouska and is known as nu which I think is a cute nickname which works for a little anouk so counteracts the harshness people have mentioned.

nou nou is slang for fanjo inEssex, just so you know.

I assumed Inuit too

Nice name
