Imogen or Saskia?

Our baby girl is due in a few months and DH and I are going round and round in circles between the names Saskia and Imogen. I have a little boy called Leo and think they both sound okay with his name.

The middle name will be Ruby Rose after both mine and DH's grandmothers.

So, which do you prefer? Many thanks for any opinions.

I think both names are lovely! Saskia is the less used one here (I've come across several little Imogens recently).

Sasha can be tricky as it is normally a boy's name across mainland Europe, and is also taken as such by many people in UK.

Yep but I don't know the other one though so god knows what she's got up to!

Montsti - I guess that makes her the most repulsive!

Imogen is the Welsh one that allegedly had a fling with Giggs..wouldn't let that put you off though!

Both remind me of big brother!

It's funny you say that because Sasha was on our favourites list and the only names we preferred to it were Imogen and Saskia. Now I'm having second thoughts!

I prefer Imogen. Not a fan of Saskia but love Sasha!
