Saskia every time

PaddleBoardingMomma · 22/05/2022 18:06

Saskia 100%

Saskia

Saskia

Saskia.

kaia will be pronounced differently all the time.

ladygindiva · 22/05/2022 18:10

Difficult because they're both lovely! I'm erring towards Kaia slightly but saskia is beautiful too.

IncompleteSenten · 22/05/2022 18:13

Kaia.

If I had had a daughter I would have called her Keziah. I love that name. It was my auntie's name and she went by Kaia. Don't think it was spelled that way though. Can't remember.

Definitely prefer Saskia, it’s strong and stylish in my opinion. K names are just ruined for me by the Rooneys and Kardashians, sorry.

I quite like Kaia tbh, a real Californian surfer girl name, but I prefer Saskia of the two.

Reminds me of Rembrandt's wife.

(And on a different cultural note, there was a Saskia in Eastenders back in the day. I think she clobbered Martin Kemp to death.)

Saskia

User0610134049 · 22/05/2022 19:29

I wouldn’t be sure how to pronounce Kaia (kye-er? Kay-er?)

PoemBeatrice · 22/05/2022 20:17

I like both, but if I have to choose it would be Saskia

MissPocket · 22/05/2022 20:21

Saskia. Love that name!

ElenaSt · 22/05/2022 20:23

Saskia.

Penguinsaregreat · 22/05/2022 20:25

Saskia by a mile.

Greatoutdoors · 22/05/2022 20:26

Saskia- lovely name

Musmerian · 22/05/2022 20:27

Saskia - gorgeous name and not overused.

midsomermurderess · 22/05/2022 20:30

Saskia. It’s lovely.

Gooseberryberry · 22/05/2022 20:38

Saskia. Classic. Good name for cute child, a grown woman who means business and a sweet older lady.

Kaia. Pretty, but too try-hard to be cool.

JemimaTiggywinkle · 22/05/2022 20:41

Saskia is a great name.
Kaia is a bit meh, lacking substance. Kaia, Gaia, Maya. Think it could date badly too.

bluespottyladybird · 22/05/2022 20:46

Saskia

jacquettalux · 22/05/2022 22:43

Kaia. Simple, beautiful and strong. Saskia feels fussy to me. Also makes me think Sassy Saskia, which may not be a bad thing. It just feels like a big name to carry somehow. Overall though, both are nice!

Pixilicious1 · 22/05/2022 22:46

Saskia 100%

I seem to remember something about a glass ashtray.

Saskia, Kaia is a not nice slang term where I live.
