Struggling to decide between these two names for DD4. Other daughters are Imogen, Eliza and Lara.

Which do you prefer - Claudia Eloise or Saskia Rose?

Many thanks

Saskia was Rembrandt wife. It's a very popular name in the Netherlands.

Vixxfacee · 21/10/2016 11:50

Eloise

MotherDuckSaid · 21/10/2016 09:52

A million times not saskia, its like a strippers name!! 🙈
Ur other children's names r lovely, Claudia goes very well

Midsummer, the op wants our opinions on the names. And in my opinion the Latin meaning of Claudia puts me off. What on earth is tedious about that ?

KittensWithWeapons · 18/10/2016 22:16

Claudia. I absolutely love it. Though I do think Claudia Eloise is a bit of a mouthful. Claudia Rose is just beautiful.

Showgirl109 · 18/10/2016 19:36

Hate saskia, but I knew one at school who was a twat.

Claudia rose is beautiful

Hayls17 · 18/10/2016 19:32

Saskia is lovely

There is always someone banging on about the 'unfortunate' meaning of Claudia on these threads, it's only a matter of time and so tedious.

RebelandaStunner · 18/10/2016 14:34

Saskia.

minipie · 18/10/2016 14:29

Saskia definitely

Stokey · 18/10/2016 14:19

Saskia is Dutch - Rembrandt's mistress I believe. Definitely not made up.

Claudia has different a pronunciation in Europe - Clow-dia - instead of Claw -dia in the UK. May be a consideration?

Pipilangstrumpf · 18/10/2016 08:59

Saskia is lovely.

Claudia has an unfortunate meaning (Latin)

Claudia. Fits right in.

Normandy144 · 16/10/2016 23:10

Claudia, but I'm biased as I have one. I love Saskia too but DH said I'd made it up. I showed him evidence that it was Danish (I think) and then he saw the bottled water in Lidl and it was vetoed.

Coey2016 · 16/10/2016 23:06

Claudia

WitchesGlove · 16/10/2016 22:31

Claudia Rise

Optimist3 · 16/10/2016 05:43

Saskia is seems super Nordic next to your other names and a bit sexy.

Claudia is stunning. I'd imagine a Claudia to be a sweet polite bright creative girl.

Joinourclub · 16/10/2016 05:23

Love Saskia

FuzzyDiamond · 16/10/2016 02:16

Claudia is a beautiful name and I agree with Claudia Rose, it's stunning

needaplanjan · 16/10/2016 01:58

Saskia is a gorgeous name.

Buntysoven · 16/10/2016 01:50

Saskia is much prettier

MrsGsnow18 · 15/10/2016 20:12

Claudia.
I've seen Saskia mentioned so many times on MN but it just reminds me of the bottled water sold in Lidl.
