Isn't Sasha a boys name? Maybe for John in Russian or am I making that up? I think Saskia sounds like a cheap brand of car. Maya is my favourite but that might be because I love Maya Angelou.

Sasha

'Maija' is pronounced Mi-ya, might be worth mentioning if she likes Maya

BrutusMcDogface · 08/07/2019 20:29

I love Sasha. Was on my list but dp said no! I find Saskia a bit harsh sounding, though I do know one with the nickname Sassy which is pretty cool!

Carpetburns · 08/07/2019 20:26

Saskia is ok I really don’t like the rest sorry

Expressedways · 08/07/2019 19:32

Another vote for Saskia which is beautiful. I really dislike the others.

Natasha has been ruled out! It's now between Sasha, Saskia and India!!!

Saskia is my favourite.

Sasha - I always think of it as a male name but it's nice enough.

Natasha seems a bit dated, but other than that nothing wrong with it. All the ones I knew growing up ended up being called Tash though, which isn't a great nickname.

India - I love the nickname Indi but am not a fan of place-names for names....they make me wonder if thats where they were conceived.

Saskia
