[Opinions] Re: Does Anouk sound weird to most American's?
in reply to a message by babyZsazsa
It sounds totally weird in South Africa. I taught a very quiet, conventional Anouk once, and this seemed incongruous - Anouks should fizz with originality!
Also, I can't think of another -ouk fn. Chinook and, as you say, Nanook aren't really part of the naming heritage we're most familiar with, and so many actress (and actor) names are made up that people assume the worst. Right now, the assumption might well be that it's a shortened form of Anneka, which it probably was originally.
