Annushka / Anushka / Anoushka / Annoushka (did I get all the variants?) is a fun name, but it doesn't sound
real. It very much sounds like the Russian affectionate diminutive that it is.
Anya is becoming one of those nicknames that is accepted as a full name (like Sadie, Sally, Jamie, etc.), but it still is too nickname-y for me. On the other hand, Anouk sounds like an independent name to me, and I've liked it ever since I first heard it in the movie
Chocolat.
