Current thoughts on Saskia?

[Daisychain66]

Saskia is under serious consideration so I’ve been trying to do a bit of research on it. I’ve read all the mn threads on Saskia- the eastenders and big brother connections keeps coming up and general consensus was that they made the name appear ‘chavvy’ (I wasn’t aware of either association as have never watched either of the programmes). However some of these threads are up to 10 years old- do you think those associations still exist in 2019? Or do they lessen the further away we move?
Any and all thoughts on the name welcome please!
(Bonus q: what do you think about it as a sister name to Isadora?)

I think it's a beautiful sounding name. I can't remember any BB or EastEnders connections to the name and I'm over 40. Never met any in real life so it's certainly never been popular enough to be 'dated' unlike some names that become over saturated.

I think it's the loveliest out of your three choices.

It’s lovely, but will inevitably be shortened to ‘ Sass ‘.

I think Saskia is lovely. Much nicer than than Hermione and Genevieve.
She'll get called Sass though.

@Daisychain66 I love the name. She’s my second DD and I really struggled for ages to find a name that DH didn’t veto (I even appealed to Mumsnet for help!). People have been very positive but I think they generally are once the baby is actually here (at least to your face!). A few people have never heard the name though and I’ve had to spell it!

She’s got approx 1 million different nicknames, including my elder DD’s mispronunciations! But we still use Saskia as well. I have the odd moment of doubt that it’s a bit 90s but I still think it’s a great name and suits her.

Love Saskia and like Genevieve but not so keen on Jenny which I assume people would shorten to.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of sass

Seems very Made in Chelsea nouveau riche.

I like it. Also like Anouska, which has a similar vibe.

Love it.
There's s poster on here and her username is SaskiaRembrandtwasframed which is brilliant.

Love this name. It sounds so swishy! Perfect with Isadora. Both really elegant.

I LOVE this name, was on my list for dd. I think it's very pretty, timeless but still cool

I like Saskia.
