Ffs autocorrect! Saskia not Saskatoon

SquigglePigs · 14/11/2020 19:45

Both lovely but if I had to pick one I'd go for Saskia.

Firebird83 · 14/11/2020 22:18

Saskia

Chilldonaldchill · 14/11/2020 22:52

I like them both. I think Eliza feels more classic whereas Saskia feels more feisty. I don't think either are trendy or faddy and don't think either will date badly.
I think Eliza will always be significantly more popular if that bothers you.
I don't even know which I'd choose if I had to because they're both lovely.

Love both! And Cassia pp has suggested. Which works best with your surname OP?

Gherkin32 · 14/11/2020 23:36

Eliza 🙌🙌🙌

AlwaysLatte · 14/11/2020 23:42

Both lovely bit definitely Saskatoon

AlwaysLatte · 14/11/2020 23:42

So sorry! Stupid auto correct. Saskia

pinkpanther84 · 14/11/2020 23:43

Eliza

Kanaloa · 15/11/2020 00:03

Both are nice but I prefer Eliza.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 15/11/2020 00:13

Saskia. Although Eliza is gorgeous

username1724 · 15/11/2020 01:25

Saskia definitely!

BigSaltyPeanut · 15/11/2020 01:31

If it helps:
Eliza is number 38, Ella is number 13, Ellie is number 63, Elsie is number 21, Eloise looks like it's heading into the top 100.

firesong · 15/11/2020 01:36

I prefer Saskia.

RoseMartha · 15/11/2020 01:47

Eliza

frenchfancy81 · 15/11/2020 01:48

Saskia is cool

MercyBodle · 15/11/2020 03:53

I love both but would pick Saskia as it's less used.

Whatsyourflava · 15/11/2020 10:12

Eliza definitely

cloverbug · 15/11/2020 11:03

I'd choose Saskia but Eliza is also lovely! Great choices. Smile

AllTheUserNamesAreTaken · 15/11/2020 11:08

Saskia definitely, I love it. That was our girl’s name 7 years ago but we had a DS instead

EspressoPatronum · 15/11/2020 11:11

Saskia ♥️

DoTheMaccaroni · 15/11/2020 11:51

Saskia!!!!

elp30 · 15/11/2020 14:34

I love Eliza.

My favorite aunt is called Eliza and in a few days, she will be celebrating her 90th birthday.
Her name is classic and definitely does not date!

She pronounces her name, Eh-lisa. My family are Mexican so it's the Spanish pronunciation, if you wanted a variation on the sound.

LionBrodie · 15/11/2020 15:46

Thank you all SO much for these responses. Initially, Eliza looked like a clear winner, but Saskia made a late comeback! I had not thought of quite a few of these points, especially "shortening" of Eliza to Ellie. I thought on Saskia someone might say "Are you pretending you are Dutch?!" - I'm glad nobody did!
