My DD is 20 now.

When I was around 30 weeks, I was admitted to hospital over night with complications. The lovely doctor who treated me was called Saskia, She saved my baby's life. I thought it was a fab name and I vowed to call my daughter that, if I had a girl. I told my sister, and she laughed at me saying I must be joking as it was a ridiculous name. It put me off, and I named DD something different. At about the time, Saskia Duncan shot Steve Owen in Eastenders, so I was glad I avoided it.
If I had a little girl now, I would call her Saskia. I think it is an absolutely lovely name.

Saskia is lovely! As others have said, probably wouldn't pair it with Asia though. Feel like it looks like one of those cryptic crossword anagram clues...
Ivy and Noelle are great. 👍🏼

Saskia Holly?

Moominfan · 27/07/2018 23:20

Saskia is just beautiful

yorkshireyummymummy · 27/07/2018 23:22

All I can think of is the ashtray too..............
I like Ivy Noelle.

Berniethecrabisthebest · 27/07/2018 23:29

Think they both sound like pornstar names tbh

didyouseetheflaresinthesky · 27/07/2018 23:30

Saskia Noelle

Pretty and reminds me of a tv program I loved as a child.

Pudding01 · 28/07/2018 08:53

Saskia or Ivy Noelle 🙂

Sessy19 · 28/07/2018 16:12

@Berniethecrabisthebest Why say that, you asshat.

I think Saskia is cool, edgy, strong. Goes really well with Noelle, too. Saskia Noelle.

Ivy Noelle ! Personal reasons of not liking the name saskia however just go with what you love !

Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar · 28/07/2018 16:27

Saskia Ivy. Asia is bloody awful.

haribosmarties · 28/07/2018 16:28

I absolutely LOVE Saskia but I dislike Asia... Like the other names very much tho, could you put Saskia with one of them?

Saskia Noelle sounds very pretty

Berniethecrabisthebest · 28/07/2018 17:29

sessy19 because in my opinion that’s what I think they sound like.

Sessy19 · 28/07/2018 18:21

@berniethecrabisthebest If that’s the company you keep...🤷‍♀️

Still an asshat.

Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar · 28/07/2018 18:32

Op asked for opinions on these names, and that’s what she got...

Berniethecrabisthebest · 28/07/2018 20:06

sessy19 it’s not snd I don’t even no what an asshat is Confused

yikesanotherbooboo · 28/07/2018 20:11

Saskia is a nice name; it's classical, no preconceptions, easy to spell, international and not over used. Jackpot!
Pretty imho but avoid Asia which seems a very different type of name although if you have a good reason for it that's fine as , as its a middle name it dorsn't matter too much
