Honest thoughts please on Saskia?

DD2 arriving next week, it hasn’t even been on our radar until last week but I keep thinking about it now and it’s growing on me.

I love it. It's my favourite girls name.

Poorolddaddypig · 15/12/2019 17:32

I love it!

OverByYer · 15/12/2019 17:33

I love it. Was on my list of girls names. Strong yet feminine

TipseyTorvey · 15/12/2019 17:33

Love it. Envy you having a girl to give it to. She'll be ceo one day with that name.

Rainbowqueeen · 15/12/2019 17:34

Also love it.

Poppyfields21 · 15/12/2019 17:35

I really love it too. Not my usual style but there’s something about it

Ohyesiam · 15/12/2019 17:36

Very very pretty. I met an adult called saskia the other day and was almost envious of her lovely name!

DramaAlpaca · 15/12/2019 17:37

Gorgeous name.

Gigia · 15/12/2019 17:37

Nice.

SquigglePigs · 15/12/2019 18:05

Lovely name! An uncommon without being too out-there.

daisypond · 15/12/2019 18:06

I like it

PrincessHoneysuckle · 15/12/2019 18:09

A bit try hard "posh"

Lidlfix · 15/12/2019 18:11

Lovely. As a secondary teacher I can be put off names for life. Unusual (but not in a trying too hard way) as I have only taught one in many years . She was also clever, humble, resilient and kind. So Saskias will always have positive associations for me.

Love it. DS2 would’ve been Saskia if he’d been a girl

MerryGrinch · 15/12/2019 19:01

It was on my shortlist of 3. It didn't make the cut as I didn't think it worked with my other dcs name so go for it!

MrsNoMopp · 15/12/2019 19:24

To me it sounds breezy and confident.

tamarisk44 · 15/12/2019 19:30

Really nice!

Omashu · 15/12/2019 20:29

Love it! I’ve noticed it always gets a great reception on here. I’d love to use it but it sounds too similar to my dd’s name!

PlantPotting · 15/12/2019 20:32

Great name

Bobbiepin · 15/12/2019 20:32

I knew an absolutely awful Saskia once but I love the name so much I would use it if it didn't rhyme with DD1's name

peardrops1 · 15/12/2019 20:48

V posh!
