ANOUK!

It's just brilliant.

Anoushka is lovely. I’ve known a few.

Anouk is a good dim so then you get both for the price of one.

Rosa is one of my favourite ever names. Simple, classy, suits every age.

Anoushka is lovely, too.

I'm liking the idea of 2 for 1 with Anouk and Anoushka!

Ana - Anna is better. I like Anna
Anouk - french. Use Ann/Anna instead ad use as a nn
Anoushka (too OTT?) - a bit frilly
Lyra - no.
Rosa - lovely
Evelyn - horrible. Eve-lyn pronunciation is better than Ever-lyn.
Aoife (pronounced ee-fa) - Eve/Eva/Aoife/Ava etc are everywhere

Love Evelyn (although I definitely prefer it pronounces eve-Lyn rather than ever-lyn) and Lyra- especially because I remember loving the Pullman book when I was younger

I like Evelyn and Rosa best. Aoife is nice too. Really dislike anoushka sorry x

Mousefunky · 09/08/2018 02:24

I like Rosa. I do like Aoife but outside Ireland you will undoubtedly find a lot of people querying pronunciation.

Perfectly1mperfect · 09/08/2018 03:29

Aoife is really nice from your list.

Have you thought of Anya ? I always think it sounds lovely.

MrsDrSpencerReid · 09/08/2018 03:31

I like Evelyn Smile

My brother has a friend called Anoushka, he calls her Noushi, as do most of her close friends friends/family Smile
