Anoushka Anjali - first name & middle name too similar?

I had a thread a while back where we were trying to decide between these two names. We are considering using Anjali as a middle name because we love both names, do they work together or is it too much?

To me they sound great together. It doesn't trip my tongue up to say them and they flow well. I love the name Anoushka . It's beautiful.

Agree, they sound lovely. Beautiful names.

Sounds nice 👍🏻

Although the first two sounds are the same, they do not sound too similar. They sounds great together.

Perfect

Love it op! Anoushka was my first choice of the names you've mentioned on here. It's lovely and Anjali is a lovely middle name with it Smile

VenusClapTrap · 16/02/2021 18:06

Lovely

TinyCake · 16/02/2021 18:07

Perfect :)

I prefer Anjali Anoushka - but I think that could just be because I love the name Anjali... the alliteration is great.

Thanks everyone!
@Sauvignonblanket It has been so hard for us to choose which name to go for as a first name, we like both! Went for Anoushka because it’s a bit more international and easier to pronounce.

Yay! I remember your thread. I think Anoushka Anjali is perfect, what a lovely name to give your DD.

I remember your thread, so pleased you went for Anoushka.

Anoushka Anjali sounds lovely!

Anouska is such a pretty name - suits a baby, little girl, young woman and older woman too. Super cute with Anjali too.
