I think it's awful and ugly. Sorry!

Ive known two anoushkas. I like the name. Both were known as 'nooey'

Anoushka Sharma - Bollywood actress and Virat Kohli wife...lovely name

brizzlewizzle · 14/07/2021 07:22

In Russian it is the short form of Anna - so 'little Anna'

It makes me think of the evil twin in Jane the Virgin!

It sounds more of an adults name than a small child or baby but better that way round than some adults who are lumbered with cutesy sounding baby names their whole lives!

I’m an adult Anoushka. It was very unusual when I was young (born 1960s) but I know of quite a few now.

Go for it!

Chachachawoo · 14/07/2021 08:49

I love it.
The one is I know is super smart, very poised and elegant

I also thought inmediately that this is a Russian name, because the ending "shka" is used in Russian a lot

daisypond · 14/07/2021 10:38

I quite like it.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 14/07/2021 16:09

Anouska's a nice name - I think it has quite a fun, quirky sound to the English ear. I think I do slightly prefer similar (imo) Anya and Saskia though - but that's personal taste.

Love it, always been a favourite of mine.

I know of it being shortened to Anouk

I like it
it’s not racist @neondisco 🤦‍♀️

Gubanc · 14/07/2021 16:36

Anoushka Shankar comes to mind straight away, she's inspiring, I like the name.

Seesawmummadaw · 14/07/2021 16:37

Beautiful. I also really like Anouk.

Seesawmummadaw · 14/07/2021 16:38

@Neondisco how embarrassing for you
