Baby names

Saskia or Savannah

We keep coming back to both Saskia and Savannah but neither name seems to ‘stick’. Any thoughts? Is Saskia a bit harsh? Is Savannah too much of a long name?
Any other names that spring to mind when you hear these?

Savannah is much nicer. Saskia reminds of a couple of irritating Big Brother contestants from a long time ago.

Kids are funny! Would be pronounced Savan-ah rather than Savarna

Saskia. It’s a lovely elegant name that would suit a child and a woman.

I love savannah. Would have had for my girl if my friend didn't name her girl that. She beat me 😂

Saskia all the way, great sassy name.

Savannah always seems a bit Hello mag to me

Sabrina, Serena, Selina, Sanchia, Susannah and Shoshanna are all also very nice

I love Saskia to be honest as it’s a unusual name and a name that you won’t forget.

I think Savannah is more classic sounding
Saskia is a bit harsher to my ear

I like both but I think I prefer Saskia

If neither feel quite right then don't force it, keep looking or wait to see what you feel is right once you see her ☺️

Love Savannah, find Saskia a bit harsh.

Saskia is beautiful and classy. Savannah has a nice sound but is often called chavvy on name boards (although I disagree with this)

Saskia of the two, much classier.
Susannah springs to mind of course, similar sound to Savannah but nicer and more classic, makes a lot of great short names too.
