What do you think of Saskia?

[cyongaze]

What do you think of Saskia as a girl's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

It is a horrible word anyway. And one too easy to fall into the trap of using. Actually the fact that she was a racist was the issue, not whether she was from Essex, or whatever.

Saskia has lots of black friends including my husband & she is not from Essex but Kingston upon Thames surrey.

"who is going to remember Saskia From Big Brother in ten (or five for that matter) years?"

I will. I wouldn't use the name because I wouldn't like to have a child with a name that reminded me of BB Saskia.

It's not that I'd worry about other people having that association. There are names I just don't like because I mainly associate them with people I didn't like. That's how I feel about Saskia.

I have a friend who went on a reality TV dating show. She and the guy got on pretty well but there was no spark, end of story. I've never seen the programme but I believe it made her out to be a crazy psycho who basically stalked the guy.

I'm sure Saskia from BB is very nice. As I remember she was very beautiful. But how she was portrayed is how I remember her and that was not pleasant - she came across as a thick bully.
