Beautiful name, and, yes, the one Saskia I have ever met was very beautiful herself. To answer a few questions, the German pronunciation is 'ZAH-ski-a'.

Saskia is a very spirited antiquated name. It's really cool, I like it lots! Something kinda kickass about a girl with a name that means 'knife'... would definitely suit a dragon slayer type.

A very striking ancient Germanic name meaning 'The Saxon People' or 'Saxon woman' used in Europe since the Middle Ages, and is probably a metathesis of 'Saxa' or 'Saxia'. If I was German and had a little girl I would probably call her Saskia.

My name is Saskia, and I quite like it. It's quite uncommon where I live, and I have never met another Saskia, but I enjoy having a somewhat uncommon name. It's feminine enough to be pretty without being sickly sweet or babyish, and nicknames are easy (Sass, Sassy, Kia...) The only problem I ever face is some people struggle to pronounce my name. I've had many amusing mispronunciations as well as being mistakenly called Sasha a lot. Otherwise, I love it.

My daughter is named is Saskia, after a dear friend. Highly uncommon in France, now a young woman, she likes her name. The paediatrician commented it was a name with strength, for a strong baby. What perspicacity. She does have great energy, fortitude and an outgoing personality.

Saying a name is exotic makes me CRINGE. The world is a giant place with 7 billion people, a majority of whom live in "third world" or "developing countries". The world is so much bigger than the west.

Saskia is a new love of mine. I must say, the name sounds very... purple. Not just in a royal sense, but in that Saskia makes me think of a long stretch of purple silk. That must be why I like the combo Saskia Violet so much.

This is my name =) and as a little girl I hated it! People called me Sasha, Sashkia, Sassya, and so on. But I have grown to love my name and am so happy that it's not a common name and that rarely anyone has it. It's beautiful, feminine, and is unique. It matches my personality because it's a different and creative name. Just like me. =)
