I’ve always loved this name. Its so spunky and it does have a particular allure. I love the Z pronunciation. Ultimately, both pronunciations are quite fantastic.

Read about her in the novel “Sakiad” She thirteen, intelligent, and in my mind Lovely. Perhaps I would find even find her to be Mysteriously beautiful.

I thought Saskia would be popular – and yes, Sass and Sassy are almost inevitable pet names, and very cute ones, too!

Lola, you are absolutely a star – I swear you know someone by every name in the book!

When I was first introduced to this name, I was dubious. SASKIA? What kind of name is that? I don’t know if I thought it was a recent invention or what, but I have since come around. I like it quite a bit now, and I love its fitting-in-yet-standing-out balance.

And if she didn’t love her name, she could always go by Sassy.

I have a co-worker named Saskia (that’s where I got the name from, hehe). I really love this name; I think it’s fun, quirky and different, yet like you said it fits in nicely with the Arianna’s and Brianna’s. It’s easy to spell and easy to pronouce, and I think Saskia is one sassy name

& What about Sass as a quick name? – very sassy!

Saskia is pretty awesome. I agree, it’s just about the perfect choice for people who want something different yet easy to wear. everyone else pretty much summed it up, so. Nice one for today.

I know a Saskia too, but it’s her middle name. Her first, Pandora! (My MIL) I think it’s an awesome name and I adore the Rembrandt connection. Actually, if I could name a daughter Pandora Saskia, I would be thrilled to do so but she hates her name, & goes by Sue, I feel a bit funny thinking about it. The problem with my family is that there are no normal names, they’re all odd!

I think Saskia makes an awesome name, short, simpple sounds, easy to spell, crisp, clear and above all, memorable. The lack of obvious nicknames is a bonus for some (not me but I know lots of them). Saskia would definitely stand out nicely in a crowd. As long as her surname isn’t Sachs (I know a few) too, I see absolutely nothing wrong with Saskia! I think it’s gorgeous!

I’ve actually know a Saskia. She was born in Germany, but is a US Navy wife now! It’s a really nice name, but I could never use it. It’s too exotic for me and hubby. I can picture younger, hipper mothers than I using it, though. Them, or maybe immigrants to the US who don’t feel like giving their children Anglicized names.
