Anjali vs Anoushka, how do we decide?!

We were all set on the name Anoushka but now the name Anjali has really started growing on us and the meaning of Anjali is delightful, whereas I don’t think Anoushka has a meaning in Sanskrit.. Please help clear our confusion!

Not weird at or frumpy, all but just old fashioned. And tbh it might have a resurgence anyway by the time she's older. If when she's born she looks an Anjali don't let that stop you!

@BibbityBobbety Thank you! I’m really glad to know this because it will help making the final decision. From what I’ve heard so far based on everyone’s opinions, Anjali = old & classic, lively, bubbly and Anoushka = strong, modern and international. They are very different names, I’m starting to understand the nature/ associations behind each name - which makes things so much easier than them both being as good as each other in my mind.
