I'm not a fan, it sounds really harsh to my ears.

Love this name, and think it would work nicely with an 'S' surname.

Love it! A very cool girl at school was a Saskia. She moved to California with her family, which just added to the glamour!

I love Saskia. DH thought it was ridiculous though and said it couldn't possibly be an actual name. He was convinced I had made it up. Even when I told him it was Danish he still said it was silly. I'll never get to use it. :-(

I love it! Was a contender for DD but didn't work with our surname, sadly.

I met a little Saskia the other day; her sister was called Tatiana. Gorgeous!

Sorry, I'm not so keen. Think it's a bit glamour model/ big brother contestant of a name.

I think I like it. I knew a very unpleasant one at school and I sometimes find it hard to separate more unusual names from individual associations so that spoils it slightly for me. But I also knew a beautiful, elegant and lovely one at university.

But anyway, my associations mean nothing to you! It's a pretty name.

Love the name Saskia. I suppose the only problem with the alliterative surname is that it will give your baby the initials SS. So probably best to make sure she has a middle name too.
