Sasha or Saskia

Owlbert · 08/07/2019 20:28

LOVE Saskia, Sasha is ok but India just mKes me think of that horrible Katie Hopkins woman!

I love Sasha. Was on my list but dp said no! I find Saskia a bit harsh sounding, though I do know one with the nickname Sassy which is pretty cool!

Amelia910 · 08/07/2019 20:30

'Maija' is pronounced Mi-ya, might be worth mentioning if she likes Maya

sqeakywheel · 08/07/2019 20:35

Sasha

SlowMoFuckingToes · 08/07/2019 20:39

Isn't Sasha a boys name? Maybe for John in Russian or am I making that up? I think Saskia sounds like a cheap brand of car. Maya is my favourite but that might be because I love Maya Angelou.

I like Saskia and India probably prefer India but only by a little.

thisisthetime · 08/07/2019 20:52

Love Saskia

DickZillaofTheVilla · 08/07/2019 20:59

I like Natasha best then Sasha

MrsBobDylan · 08/07/2019 21:02

Sasha is such a beautiful and under used name. Definitely my fav!

TheRedBarrows · 08/07/2019 21:07

Good, Saskia is best.
Sasha is a boys name Confused

  • Maya - yeah, agree with others it's a bit ubiquitous
  • Sasha - Is quite nice
  • Saskia - Yes, also nice. Can depend quite heavily on what surname it goes with though
  • India - I quite like it
  • Natasha - this is my favourite. Not that popular right now, so won't date so much, but is a classic and nice name
PantTwizzler · 08/07/2019 21:40

Natasha

MollyHuaCha · 08/07/2019 22:28

Saskia

Owlbert · 08/07/2019 22:34

Great choice!

Teapot13 · 09/07/2019 04:51

I like Saskia.

Sasha and Natasha are nicknames, for Alexander/Alexandra and Natalia. So Sasha is a unisex nickname, not a boy's name.

Astronica · 09/07/2019 06:54

I see you've decided on Saskia - gorgeous and definitely my favourite!

userabcname · 09/07/2019 06:57

Ah I was just going to comment Saskia! Great choice OP!

AdaColeman · 09/07/2019 07:07

Great choice kitty! Saskia is a gorgeous name.

cakesandphotos · 09/07/2019 07:10

Sasha, Natasha are Russian. Sasha is a boys name

Lydia55y · 09/07/2019 07:12

India is beautiful.

Sasha/saskia remind me of try hard...see also saffron.

Maya is just a bit common at the mo...will be the next lily/evie
