[Opinions] Andorada and Nanouschka
I once had a classmate who was Polish on her father's side and Indian/Pakistani on her mother's side. Her first name is a name that sounds good in both Swedish and Polish, but then she was gonna choose an Indian middle name for herself. As I remember it, she was gonna choose Andorada. I remember thinking this was so beautiful.
Anyway, it seems she never chose Andorada, because according to statistics there aren't any Andoradas in Sweden (and she still lives here). Plus, I read a lot about names (duh) and I've never seen Andorada. Maybe it was really Annuradha and became Andorada in my memory. Anyway, I still think Andorada is beautiful.When I got older and studied in Stockholm, I met a woman called Nanouschka. I think she was Indian. I never really got the chance to learn to know her, so I don't know anything about her name, but I think it's very beautiful.WDYT about Andorada and Nanouschka?Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?

I like Nanouschka. (I'm a big fan of -ushka names.) Not so keen on Andorada.

Hi Caprice !!!Andorada is too weird imo...Nanouschka instead is so fascinating!!!!
I love names with -ska/shka/schka ending.
They are informal yes but also mysterious and wit.But...not on an Indian TT
I can see them on a Central-Eastern European person.

There's more than one Bollywood actress named Anushka, so it might also be a thing there? Not sure.It reminds me of Nahnatchka Khan, and I've always loved her name.
