Saskia or Paloma

Hi :)

Due with a baby girl this August and struggling to decide between Saskia and Paloma…

I have always loved Saskia but many family and friends aren’t as in love with it. It’s still my favourite as looking for something less common and beautiful for a girl.

Thoughts on which to go with?

Really like Saskia

Saskia is sweetest to my ears.

Saskia. Paloma sounds a bit like a disease.

I used to know a kick-ass Saskia, so I'm for that one!

Paloma is lovely - MUCH prefer it to Saskia

Saskia was the name of Rembrandt’s wife and has a long history. I think it’s great and well enough known yet not too popular. Paloma is nice, too, but not quite as strong. I think the 2 would go well together as Saskia Paloma

I think Saskia is prettier. Paloma might be a bit odd if you don't have spanish connections.

Saskia is fab. Sort of sassy, spiky and cool, yet very Dutch traditional.

I don't like Paloma at all, sorry.
