100% Saskia

EmiliaRuusuvuori · 26/04/2025 23:24

Definitely Saskia

BeatrizBoniface · 26/04/2025 23:27

17caterpillars1mouse · 26/04/2025 22:43

Saskatoon or Delphie

Not Saskatoon, that's a bit out there.

CalliopePlantain · 26/04/2025 23:27

saskia.

If Delphie was Daphne I’d choose that

BeatrizBoniface · 26/04/2025 23:27

Saskia or Delphine.
Not Indigo, it'll really date, and please not Lumie..

Pemba · 26/04/2025 23:30

Saskia is the only usual one imo, it's nice.

Delphie is cutesie, Delphine is OK. Lumie is cutesy and odd. Indigo is odd.

Artemis is passable, but quite pretentious.

Pemba · 26/04/2025 23:31

Only USEABLE one I meant, not usual!

theunbreakablecleopatrajones · 27/04/2025 00:17

Artemis and Saskia are great - I’d just pick whatever goes best with your surname

Indigo is a bit naff, and indie is a v naff nickname. But it’s not terrible

Lumie sounds like a brand of SAD lamp, and is terrible.

Delphie is just v naff.

DramaAlpaca · 27/04/2025 00:47

Saskia is fine.

LilyJosephine · 27/04/2025 00:52

Saskia is relatively unusual in the UK but pretty and seems perfectly useable. Artemis is elegant and would also be fine dependant on your social circle/public school (as it’s not nearly as well used generally as similar Athena).

Lumie and Delphie are just odd and will likely be regularly misspelt or misheard so I wouldn’t pick those. Indigo is cool if she does grow up to be the arty/bohemian sort but I suspect she’ll dislike it if not.

BottleBlondeMachiavelli · 27/04/2025 00:57

Brutally honest reactions:

Saskia - nice, unusual but known, elegant.
Artemis - beautiful, strong, classical
Lumie - awful, artificial, wake-up light brand.
Delphie - pretty, better as diminutive of Delphine.
Indigo - try hard and over used.

AusBoundDD · 27/04/2025 01:01

Indigo!!

SnowFrogJelly · 27/04/2025 01:24

Are you having a laugh?!

I vote for a normal name

Viviennemary · 27/04/2025 01:26

Don't like any of them.

Daffodilsarefading · 27/04/2025 01:29

Saskia

CatsWhiskerz · 27/04/2025 01:47

Saskia would be my choice

MarchionessVonSausage · 27/04/2025 03:53

Phoebepeeby · 26/04/2025 21:00

Delphie although prefer Delphine.

Not a fan of any of those but this if forced to choose

Ab1ga1L3 · 27/04/2025 05:41

Saskia

stopringingme · 27/04/2025 06:25

Sorry, not keen on any of them, but at a push Saskia is okay.

As others have suggested Delphine is better than Delphie.

Sleepnplay · 27/04/2025 08:21

Saskia is lovely imo

BunnyRuddington · 27/04/2025 08:38

DD dodged being Indigo with Indi for short. Looking back I’m really glad we didn’t name her this and chose something else.

Out of your list I like Saskia the best. I’ve only met one and she’s absolutely lovely Smile

breakfastdinnerandtea · 27/04/2025 08:56

Artemis is one of my all time favourite girls names, but I just haven’t got the balls to use it. I think it sounds lovely but comes across as pretentious

alcoholnightmare · 27/04/2025 08:58

Nope. Not a single one.

HugoYorway · 30/04/2025 20:17

Saskia - nice
Artemis - not sure
Lumie - lightbulb vibes
Delphie - Adelphi vibes
Indigo - with Jean as a middle name?

Only Saskia and Artemis are not awful, and Saskia is the better of the 2.

SilverButton · 30/04/2025 20:19

Indigo
