Saskia or Scarlett

DH & I still have 4 months to go until first DC. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing given how wildly our liked names are changing.

We think we like Saskia and Scarlett but not sure if they sound too harsh. Also, (and could be an obvious reason to rule it out) we’re debating whether Saskia is pronounced Sah-skia or Sas-kia (hope this isn’t too ridiculous a question).

Grateful for any thoughts on these two names

I’ve got a Scarlett, it’s never been shortened by anyone. Although frequently misspelt.

Saskia - only know this as Sass-kia.

I know a few Scarletts.

Love both. Only thing worth noting with Scarlett is that she may get nicknamed Scar and you might not like that

Saskia. I've only ever heard it pronounced Saskia never Sarskia.

Scarlett.
(Have only ever heard Saskia pronounced with a short ‘a’ though.)
