Octavia Vs Saskia

[Sugaspice]

Hi lovely MN,
My husband likes Octavia and I like Saskia.

We like the unusual aspect of these 2 names. Both work well with our surname (by the way we are not posh at all )
Just curious to know which out of the two you'd pick?

What’s the correct pronunciation? Im trying to imagine a different way to say it and can’t but I’m crap at languages so it’s probably me [/quote]
In Dutch (where the name originates) it is pronounced Sar-ski-a. The first syllable isn't pronounced as "sass" and the name doesn't shorten to "sassy".
