Am I spelling Anoushka right?

[AliCanTea]

If not, what is the usual spelling? Thanks :)

The two Anoushka's I know spell it that way. I can't think of another way to spell it?

That’s how we spell it.

I’ve also seen Annushka

Yes, like the incredible Anoushka Shankar ❤️

I've only seen it as anouska

Can be Anoushka or Anouska.

That is the joke name when people ask what we're calling our baby. Please don't do that to your poor child!

I’ve taught several girls called Anoushka. I don’t see what wrong with it...? Seems like a normal, albeit unusual, name to me.

Fucking hell. What a cock!

It’s a perfectly normal and lovely name, especially in Russia where my DH is from, and would have been DS’s name if he were a girl. We would spell it Anoushka but is pronounced the same without the ‘h’

It's a lovely name.

Flamingo - we did and she gets many compliments on her name but has never been teased about it. She likes it herself and prefers the full name to any shortenings. She’s 9. HTH.

It's a lovely name OP. Good choice.

We preferred the spelling of Anouska but knew she’d get a lifetime of mis-spellings and mispronunciations.
Anushka and Annushka are also acceptable. I remember there being several ways of spelling it when we chose it. We went with the most obvious for ease.

It’s a lovely name. Ignore Flamingo.

Each to their own

Nice name but I love anouk. Sometime I call dd1 it!

Very pretty name, that's how I'd spell it.

I have only seen is as Anoushka

I know 3 people with this name. They all spell it Anouska.

I love this name! Very Russian. Ignore any silly people. Anoushka is a normal name in lots of parts of the world and not even that unusual here (in that most people would have heard of it).

Yes, and it's pretty.

Thanks all :) Kitty I love Anouk too but sadly it doesn't flow into our surname very well.

ANNA is the proper name, Anoushka is a pet name.

Yes I believe Anoushka means 'little Anna'.
But so what? It's just a gorgeous name whatever.

its very cute for a little girl, but might be embarrassing for a grown up woman (think work, etc.)
Just my opinion - keep pet names for the family, give proper names at least for documents.
