If I like Anoushka…

What other names will I like?

I’m not 100% sold on Anoushka/Anouska although I do love it! Are there other girl names with a similar vibe?

Not keen on anything “classic”, old fashioned or cutesy. Thanks!

I really like Anoushka, nothing else to suggest sorry! It's not a name you hear often but it's also classic. What are you not sure about?

What about Tanith?

We also have a fortune teller in town when I was a kid called Mishka which I always liked.

It’s probably silly but I prefer the Anouska spelling and worry about spelling and pronunciation.

Oh Athena and Anouk are lovely.

Mishka is super cute but feels more like a nickname.
