Saskia or Savannah

We keep coming back to both Saskia and Savannah but neither name seems to ‘stick’. Any thoughts? Is Saskia a bit harsh? Is Savannah too much of a long name?
Any other names that spring to mind when you hear these?

Saskia is much better.

Saskia definitely. Actually on our list

Saskia is lovely

Saskia for definite.

Savannah, Sienna, Sierra, India - all sound like 90s minor actresses/It Girls to me.

I asked ds who he played with at preschool one day a few weeks ago and he responded “Banana.” He was adamant.

It was only when I was looking through the class list at the nativity play that I realised her name was actually Savannah.

Savannah Banana is cute! Not a teasing concern IMO

Both lovely names but Saskia wins for me.
