Which name do you prefer? We are considering these two names for our beautiful baby girl. (Sister to Hugo)

Saskia, it's more unusual.

LettuceLaughton · 23/06/2015 13:23

Saskia.

manicinsomniac · 23/06/2015 13:25

Love both but probably Saskia as it's more unusual.

MitzyLeFrouf · 23/06/2015 13:26

Saskia. Beautiful name.

FernGullysWoollyPully · 23/06/2015 13:27

Love Saskia.

NadiaWadia · 23/06/2015 13:30

Annabel is lovely, but I do like Saskia as well.

ashesandfire · 23/06/2015 15:28

Saskia is gorgeous, much nicer and less common than Annabel imo

BasicBetty · 23/06/2015 15:30

Saskia - really lovely.

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 23/06/2015 16:04

Obviously I might be a little bit partial, but I'd go for Saskia.

CakeRattleandRoll · 23/06/2015 16:30

Another vote for Saskia.

Lunastarfish · 23/06/2015 16:59

Saskia. I know a couple of baby Annabel's but not any Saskia

camsie · 23/06/2015 17:06

Saskia.

2boys2girls · 23/06/2015 17:11

Annabel

2boys2girls · 23/06/2015 17:12

Hugo and Annabel sound lovely

ApocalypseNowt · 23/06/2015 17:13

Saskia. I really like it and i had it on my list.

I reallly dislike the name Annabel - sounds a bit drippy to me. I know 3 little Annabels though so obviously others think differently! I think it's going to become quite popular.

Usernamer · 23/06/2015 17:43

I know lots of little Annabel's, Saskia is lovely...very sophisticated.

FunkyPeacock · 23/06/2015 17:44

Saskia definely

Floggingmolly · 23/06/2015 17:45

Saskia.

reuset · 25/06/2015 12:34

Annabel 'goes' better with Hugo, but I don't place much importance on that. Saskia is more uncommon, both names are fine. I prefer Annabel, the shortenings (e.g. Sassy or Kia) for Saskia I do not like

MuddyWellyNelly · 25/06/2015 12:37

Have loved the name Saskia since I was at school with a girl called that. She was known as Saskie most often. She was cool and edgy even at 14! Also German hence the name.

Much better than Annabel - they are very different names I think.

Athenaviolet · 25/06/2015 13:05

Saskia it's such a cool name

Laquila · 25/06/2015 13:13

I know a kick-ass Annabel who's a Major in the military and definitely isn't a drippy girl, and personally I prefer it to Saskia.

MitzyLeFrouf · 25/06/2015 13:15

Saskia is so elegant. Annabel is a doll's name.

scribblegirl · 25/06/2015 13:20

See, I know a Saskia who's a total bitch, so I hate the name! But I accept that this may be my own problem... Wink

Oh yes, a name is tainted forever once you've met a horrible person bearing it.
