Saskia Song, Saskia Smith, Saskia Sutton?

It works!

ralinax294 · 24/08/2014 19:07

I absolutely love Saskia!

aubreye · 24/08/2014 19:18

So beautiful and unique. Unfortunately it was already taken by DNeice but I love it.

magicalmrmistofelees · 24/08/2014 19:18

I'm not a fan, it sounds really harsh to my ears.

iklboo · 24/08/2014 19:19

I love Saskia!

MirandaGoshawk · 24/08/2014 19:20

Gorgeous name. I love Sacha/Sasha too [irrelevant]

Lunastarfish · 24/08/2014 20:32

Wonderful name. In my top 10! I also like alliterative names.

Umbrellasandladders · 24/08/2014 20:53

Love it. Really unusual

SomethingAboutNothing · 24/08/2014 20:55

Love this name, and think it would work nicely with an 'S' surname.

Muskey · 24/08/2014 21:07

Lovely name also the name of rembrants wife

vinoandbrie · 24/08/2014 21:09

Love it! A very cool girl at school was a Saskia. She moved to California with her family, which just added to the glamour!

Blueberrybaby · 24/08/2014 21:10

I love Saskia. DH thought it was ridiculous though and said it couldn't possibly be an actual name. He was convinced I had made it up. Even when I told him it was Danish he still said it was silly. I'll never get to use it. :-(

SilveryMoon · 24/08/2014 21:13

Love it.

ladybirdandsnails · 24/08/2014 21:14

Love it. If DS was a girl I would have used it. Had a friend called saskia school Grin

Floggingmolly · 24/08/2014 21:16

It's gorgeous.

itsnothingoriginal · 24/08/2014 22:54

I love it! Was a contender for DD but didn't work with our surname, sadly.

curiousgeorgie · 25/08/2014 00:19

Love this name, especially alliterated!

KoalaDownUnder · 25/08/2014 06:19

I LOVE it!

I met a little Saskia the other day; her sister was called Tatiana. Gorgeous!

Teeb · 25/08/2014 06:59

Sorry, I'm not so keen. Think it's a bit glamour model/ big brother contestant of a name.

diggerdigsdogs · 25/08/2014 07:01

Love it!

whiteblossom · 25/08/2014 15:51

This was our girls name...we are having another boy...I bloody love this name and goes perfectly with DS1 name.

Difficult to say but Id say go with it Grin

manicinsomniac · 27/08/2014 12:37

I think I like it. I knew a very unpleasant one at school and I sometimes find it hard to separate more unusual names from individual associations so that spoils it slightly for me. But I also knew a beautiful, elegant and lovely one at university.

But anyway, my associations mean nothing to you! It's a pretty name.

BreeVDKamp · 27/08/2014 12:53

Knew one nn Sassy. She was quiiiite sassy in a bad way. Nevertheless I still like the name!

rachel234 · 31/08/2014 20:31

Love Saskia!

AmITwirly · 03/09/2014 13:07

Love the name Saskia. I suppose the only problem with the alliterative surname is that it will give your baby the initials SS. So probably best to make sure she has a middle name too.
