saskia

[zazA09Jane]

our last name begins with an s and is short

I'm clearly in the minority here (and I do admit it has a pleasant sound), but I'm not a fan. I get a brash, glamour model-type vibe from it too, for some reason.

I also once encountered a brayingly posh family on a flight whose baby daughter was called Saskia. The mother clearly hadn't a clue what to do with the baby, and kept protesting loudly about how noisy it was, then handing it over to the nanny to deal with crying/feeding/nappy changes. Obviously none of this little Saskia's fault, but it did put me off the name a bit!
