Love both!

Overoptimistix · 14/11/2020 12:26

Both are lovely. I think Saskia is a little less popular so I might choose that. It has a good balance of being easy for all to pronounce and spell while still being a pretty name.

formerbabe · 14/11/2020 12:27

Prefer Eliza but like both

unmarkedbythat · 14/11/2020 12:35

Eliza.

Never0000 · 14/11/2020 12:36

Saskia

RuthW · 14/11/2020 12:37

Both nice but I prefer Eliza slightly.

Swingometer · 14/11/2020 12:37

Love both but prefer Eliza

DepuisToujours · 14/11/2020 12:52

I really like both!

I prefer Eliza, but it's popular. Depends if that bothers you or not.

confusedpombear · 14/11/2020 12:57

Both lovely. Sorry that doesn't help Grin Saskia probably just wins for me

RoseHarper · 14/11/2020 12:58

Eliza, depends on surname though.

ChildOfTheNineties · 14/11/2020 12:58

I'd have to vote Eliza - but am a huge 'Hamilton' fan so maybe I'm biased.

Ellmau · 14/11/2020 14:15

Saskia.

PastaAndPizzaPlease · 14/11/2020 14:17

Saskia absolutely

campion · 14/11/2020 14:21

Eliza

SenorFrog · 14/11/2020 14:27

Eliza by a mile.

TheChristmasPrincess · 14/11/2020 14:59

Eliza is more classic, Saskia feels more trendy and so more likely to sound dated in the near future.

I’d personally go for Eliza. It’s classic and elegant but also sweet.

elfran · 14/11/2020 15:29

Tough because they are both great names. I'd go with whatever sounds better with the surname and middle.

Beamur · 14/11/2020 15:30

Both good. Marginally prefer Eliza.

steppemum · 14/11/2020 15:36

Both lovely, would look at which one goes with your surname.

Saskia has a scandinavian vibe to me, if that makes any difference either way

becca3210 · 14/11/2020 15:37

Saskia

IckleBear · 14/11/2020 15:38

Eliza!!

RebeccaNoodles · 14/11/2020 15:41

Saskia! Love it but I've never met one.

mangothoughts · 14/11/2020 15:46

Saskia much nicer. Have always hated the name Eliza

CupcakesK · 14/11/2020 15:49

Love both, would say Eliza is very popular at the moment though, two friends have recently had babies and called them Eliza!

MimiDaisy11 · 14/11/2020 15:55

Eliza is in at number 38 in England and Wales so it's "popular" but not Olivia, Isabella, Isla popular. It's quite likely she'll be the only girl in her class with the name. I think there's a big difference between the top 10-20 and names further out from that.
