[kittytiggy]

• Maya
• Sasha
• Saskia
• India
• Natasha

I have finally let go of Acacia! It has been hard haha. Thanks in advance

• Maya OK
• Sasha it’s a boy’s name
• Saskia - nice
• India - it’s a country
• Natasha - very 1970s

• Maya OK
• Sasha id say a girls name but I know many people think boy
• Saskia - love
• India - eugh so popular can’t bear it
• Natasha classic, a bit dull

Oh, you’ve chosen! Good choice

Great choice. I have a Saskia. We pronounce it closer to ‘Suskia’ as that is the way the Dutch pronounce it. We are of Dutch origin.

I'm on my 3rd glass of wine and you sound like you wanted honesty so...

Maya- a recent fad, doesn't seem like it has much backbone, will date

• Sasha- this is traditionally short for Alexandra. Use the proper full name?
• Saskia- a good strong name but people will ask if you have Russian heritage. Maybe you do.
• India- bit dated. Ok
• Natasha- Ok

Congratulations on your wonderful dd x

Saskia is great

We have very similar taste! I had
Acacia
Saskia
Maya (but also ruled this out due to popularity)
And some others were Cleo, Kaia Marley and Soraya.

So Saskia is my favorite on your list.

chacha
It’s a Dutch name not Russian. When DD meets Dutch people they comment on it and ask why she has a Dutch name - no one else.

Oh I only like Natasha. Love it.

• Maya - LOVE this name. In-fact is definitely use it, however some people would pronounce it like 'me-ah' and that would bug me.

• Sasha - lets name.

• Saskia - a bit pretentious sounding to me.

• India - prefer Indie...unless you have some connection to India that'd make it special for you to use it.

• Natasha - love it, it's a bit dated now, as it was popular 10-20 years ago, however I think it still works today. It's familiar but won't be over popular and people would likely know how to say and spell it.

Natasha, then Saskia. Both are sparky-sounding names. Stella and Larissa have a similar vibe to these IMO.

Maya is overused
India is a country
Sasha is wet-sounding to me.
