 An interesting name I came across today that I hadn't heard before:

Saskia

It was on a girl in her mid-20s I'd say. Average North American lastname. ThinkBabyNames says it's of Danish/Old German descent, referring to the Saxon people. It was Rembrandt's wife's name. I like it visually, not so much when spoken.

I've always thought it was Eastern European.

I know many saskia´s !

I dont like the name ,sorry :(

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

It used to be one of my favourite names, but I've really gone off it in recent years. It sounds a bit chavvy to me now.

It looks very pretty...it would make a nice name for a fantasy heroine.

How is it pronouced?

[memorymaze.livejournal.com]

No worries. I don't like it either :P
Just never heard it before.

[memorymaze.livejournal.com]

She pronounces it Sas-kia. I think...

[butterflyishida.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't work too well where I live, my province starts with Sask.

If I did not live where I did, I would quite like it! :)

i had a teacher named saskia once.
ia with you. i like the look, but not the sound.

[memorymaze.livejournal.com]

I thought of Saskatchewan when I heard it!

[raptorgirl.livejournal.com]

I agree with you--I like the look, but not the sound so much.

I know two Saskia's. I think it's an ok name. Maybe it's because the Saskia's are both really nice people ;)

For some reason, I'm thinking it sounds like a skin disease...

[bluekoala.livejournal.com]

gross! now that you say it though...totally true haha

[mystickiwi.livejournal.com]

I like both how it sounds and is spelled

There's a book by the same name, I think it retells the Rumplestiltskin story...

It reminds me too much of the bad character Saskia from the Australian show, Neighbours. D:
