Thanks!

I like Kia and Sasha, not Saskia.

I think Saskia is a really nice name although I hear it a bit too often here. And what about Saskia Katharina as a combo?

I'm not a huge fan of it.

Ooh, I love it.

The funny thing is, I made a quadrupletset the other day using Saskia as a middle name for one of the girls. That combo was Autumn Saskia.

I actually like it better as a middle name.

I find it incredibly ugly sounding, I'm afraid. Saskia and Anouk both strike me as painfully Euro-chic without a lot to offer.

On the other hand, I do like Saaski, as in the main character of The Moorchild, but that'd work best as a middle name.

Saskia Violet
Saskia Primrose
Saskia Thisbe
Saskia Florence
Saskia Jean
Saskia Quinn
Saskia Lyric
Saskia Julianne
Saskia Elspeth
Saskia Nicolette
Saskia Edith
Saskia Winifred
Saskia Rosemary
Saskia June
Saskia Heidi
Saskia Olive
Saskia Ianthe
Saskia Cleo
Saskia July
Saskia Winter
Saskia Ginger
Saskia Truth
Saskia Carole
Saskia Lilac
Saskia Peronel
Saskia Gwenyth
Saskia Louisa
Saskia Diane
Saskia Penelope

Saskia Winter sounds the most balanced of those, IMO. Do you like any of them?

hm...

I guess you're right about the Euro thing, they're both quite normal here. I quite like both, I didn't know some people felt that about those name. It surprises me.

I actually kind of like Saskia, though it's a little difficult to say (though I'm not crazy about possible nn's Sassy or Kia :-/), but I definitely feel the same way you do about Anouk.

dittoing disdain for Saskia and Anouk

Me too . . . can't fathom the attraction at all.

I adore Saskia Winter

Saskia Ianthe and Saskia Quinn off of your list as well.

I am really liking Saskia Igraine or Saskia Morgaine... but that might be a bit much.

I love it

It's very high on my list, though not probably something I'll end up using. On another name board I used to belong to, one of the members had a daughter named Saskia who was seriously the most beautiful child. It always makes me think of her.

Please make them Lily free? Thats amusing. Do you already have a child called Lily or do you just dislike it?

Saskia Eve
Saskia Grace
Saskia Joan
Saskia June
Saskia Orla
Saskia Mira
Saskia Laine
Saskia Paige
Saskia Ruth
Saskia Mary
Saskia Lucy

I think it works with a short mn.
