Too many K's?!!

6 replies

I really like the name Saskia for a girl - only thing is that our surname begins with a 'K' and we have decided on Kathryn as a middle name as it's a family tradition.

I can't decide if Saskia Kathryn with a 'K' surname has a good flow to it or whether it's just too many 'K's?!

Would love your thoughts.

Is your surname a silent K - eg Knowles or Knight? or a hard K - eg Kilburn or Kumar?

Saskia Kathryn is lovely by the way - I hope it works out for you.

Thank you, it's a hard 'K'.

Still quite tricky to say without hearing the whole name.

The number of syllables might make a difference.

I think the longer the surname, the less intense the K sound will be.

TBH I think it's a rather K-heavy name, yes. I like the individual names though.

It's a short 2 syllable 'K' name, similar to common Irish surname!
