I have just read on another thread that this name is considered "chavvy".

Now, I'm not a categoriser, but wondered what other people's perception of the name is.

Thanks.

Love the name.
Most names on here are considered 'chavvy' at some point or another.

And, I know of an Arthur, William and a George, all of whom have what are known as 'chav' parents.

Hate the word chav being used to describe things tbh.

I think its a lovely name and would never think it chavvy - god I hate that word.

I know a lovely Saskia (nn Sasquatch, incidentally) who is lovely - in her late 30s, anything but 'chavvy'. I was quite surprised to hear that opinion, too.

I have an aunt who lives in the Netherlands - she said every other female is called Saskia there.

I was talking to a friend when I was expecting one of my DCs - She's a teacher. She said, for her, the name had connotations of a spiteful, naughty little girl - and I was surprise about that, too.

I don't think it's at all chavvy.
I've only known one Saskia and she was a posh ballerina-type.

I love it. Don't worry, anything that is not from the royal family is considered chavvy by someone on mn

I love it, and have never, ever thought of it as a chavvy name - I was a bit to read that on the other thread, too. The only Saskia I know is anything but chavvy.

My immediate thought is Sasquatch.

I quite like it. I've only ever met one Saskia, who was a university student.
