Saskia really stood out as the "wow" name from your list

Kanga83 · 08/07/2019 18:22

Maya - loads of them around

  • Sasha - it's ok. Not a wow.
  • Saskia - quite like this. Would suit as an adult.
  • India - hate it.
  • Natasha - it's ok, quite a few Natasha's when I was at school but not heard recently. Depends how you feel about 'Nat' and 'tasha' as nn's which she'll get at school

Looooooove Saskia!

Janleverton · 08/07/2019 18:24

I like Sasha from your list. Dd has a 16year old friend called Sasha and she’s lovely so that’s influenced me.

  • Maya yes pretty
  • Sasha I’ve never liked this much but can’t think why
  • Saskia - dislike, it’s in the same vein as Scarlett sienna and savannah and too try hard
  • India i like this
  • Natasha yes
2littleninjas · 08/07/2019 18:25

Saskia or India

AdaColeman · 08/07/2019 18:27

Saskia is my favourite by a very long way.

Natasha is also pretty.

Not keen on any of the others, Maya is my least favourite, I always thought Sasha was a male name but perhaps it's more unisex these days.

Etino · 08/07/2019 18:29

Another Saskia fan here!

SyrilSneer · 08/07/2019 18:32

Maya or Natasha.

Shadow1234 · 08/07/2019 18:33

Natasha or Saskia

Clownfish123 · 08/07/2019 18:49

Maya - nice but overused
Sasha - its ok
Saskia - hate this. Dont know why it's so popular on mumsnet.
India - love (my fave) especially with nn Indie
Natasha - hate, dated and not a nice sound

Have ruled out Maya as it's so popular, so at least that's progress :)

  • Natasha - dated

Saskia

ClashCityRocker · 08/07/2019 19:29

Saskia is my favourite.

Sasha - I always think of it as a male name but it's nice enough.

Natasha seems a bit dated, but other than that nothing wrong with it. All the ones I knew growing up ended up being called Tash though, which isn't a great nickname.

India - I love the nickname Indi but am not a fan of place-names for names....they make me wonder if thats where they were conceived.

Expressedways · 08/07/2019 19:32

Another vote for Saskia which is beautiful. I really dislike the others.

AverageMummy · 08/07/2019 20:23

Saskia is ok I really don’t like the rest sorry

Carpetburns · 08/07/2019 20:26
