Re: Saskia?
in reply to a message by Leah_9
I love Saskia, but I prefer it with a soft S and I'm not sure if that's legitimate or not...
I like the nn Saski. Actually, the main reason I like Saskia is because of a book character named Saski (or was it Saaski?) Something like that. Anyway, a shorter nn to sit in with Ace and Jed could be Kia.
I like Saskia Isabel, and Saskia Maren.

A soft 'S' would be exactly the right way to pronounce it (ZAHZ-kee-ah)! In German most 'S' sounds are pronounced like the English 'Z' :)

I mixed up hard and soft, maybe... I meant to say that it's supposed to be ZAHZ-kee-ah but I always waht to say SAHS-kee-ah.
Well, you'd get away with it in the US ;)
