- Which do you prefer?

- Possible sibsets?
Thanks so much.
Alaska and [name]Saskia[/name] aye? Hmmmm adventurous…
- Which do you prefer?
Well when I see Alaska all I can think of is a baked Alaska and icy state Alaska, I don’t see it as a name. [name]Saskia[/name] is a legit name so on that basis alone I will have to say I prefer [name]Saskia[/name]. I couldn’t find a meaning for [name]Saskia[/name] but I did discover that it was the name of [name]Rembrandt[/name]'s wife. Alaska does have a more pleasant, melodic sound and more nn options though.
- Any ideas for combos?
I would go with more recognized names or classics as mns for either. Some suggestions:

I love the name [name]Saskia[/name], it’s not common in the UK but it’s definitely familiar and well-used, and not considered weird or crazy…can’t say the same about Alaska!
Please don’t name a poor child Alaska lol.
- I prefer [name]Saskia[/name], it’s a great name and very pretty. It is unique but not as out there as Alaska (no pun intended).
- [name]Saskia[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name].
- I think [name]Saskia[/name] would work great in a sibset with [name]Imogen[/name], [name]Carina[/name] and [name]Freya[/name] (or [name]Frida[/name]). For brothers, I like [name]Ezra[/name] and [name]Archer[/name] with [name]Saskia[/name].
I prefer [name]Saskia[/name] - it has a similar feel as Alaska but isn’t as blatantly out there, its unique but recognizable as a name whereas Alaska, to me, is like naming a child [name]Florida[/name] or [name]Texas[/name] (I suppose that connection is obvious, I just wouldn’t personally name my child after a state). Although, come to think of it, [name]Alabama[/name], [name]Georgia[/name], and [name]Arizona[/name] are all names - however I would choose [name]Saskia[/name] over all of those too.
- Which do you prefer?
I prefer [name]Saskia[/name] much more. When I think of Alaska, I think of the state, and only the state whereas [name]Saskia[/name] definitely a name. Does [name]Cassia[/name] (ca-see-ah or cash-uh) appeal to you?

[name]Hope[/name] I helped! 
Definitely [name]Saskia[/name] for me I’ve actually been thinking about [name]Saskia[/name] a lot lately and I think I love it! A bit like [name]Sasha[/name] but with even more sass, and with great history. [name]Saskia[/name] feels much more substantial to me than Alaska. And unfortunately, at least for the time being, Alaska reminds me of [name]Sarah[/name] [name]Palin[/name] (although obviously that state has so much more to offer!).
Alaska is not a name; sorry. It’s pretty bad, even as non-names go. I adore [name]Saskia[/name], though!

definitely [name]Saskia[/name]. Alaska is a horrid baby name. sorry ):
I have never heard the name [name]Saskia[/name] before but I think I like it. I also somewhat like Alaska, but it may be a little wierd as a first name. Cool as a middle name though! I spent three summers in Alaska so I have a nice association with Alaska, but it maybe a stretch as a first name. Why do you like it? Are you from there? [name]How[/name] about a town or river name from Alaska or [name]Brook[/name]/[name]Brooke[/name]/[name]Brooks[/name] like the [name]Brooks[/name] Mountain [name]Range[/name]?

Good luck!
[name]Saskia[/name] [name]May[/name] sounds beautiful. The name [name]May[/name] goes great for a middle name alot, in my opinion
Alaska–too strange I think.
[name]Saskia[/name]–had a high school neighbor with this name, they called her Sucksia. Too bad though, because the name was kind of cool/unusual.
Alaska!?! Nope no no way
saskia! Great name. It is a
Dutch name! And the name
of my aunt ( I am dutch)
great choice
[name]Saskia[/name], I guess, is preferable if you had to choose. I sort of deeply dislike them both.
[name]Saskia[/name] is one of my favourite names! I went to school with a girl named [name]Saskia[/name] and she fitted the name perfectly…she was artistic, unique, funny and friendly. I would love to use the name one day.
As for brothers and sisters, she had two brothers, [name]Casper[/name] and [name]Max[/name].
I don’t really like questions like this. That is, I don’t consider these names comparable. [name]Saskia[/name] is a name that doesn’t feel as unusual to me as it actually is in English-speaking countries. Alaska is a word, a place name that happens to sound similar. I love place names, but if I wanted an Alaska, I wouldn’t be considering non-place names that only sounded similar. I have to like a word name for more than its sound to want it as a name.
So, which of these names is your first choice, and which is the alternative? Go with your first choice, because the other will be unsatisfyingly unlike it.
I’m certainly projecting my attitudes onto you, so do tell me if my assumptions are wrong.
Unpopular opinion: I adore Alaska. But after reading the book “Looking for Alaska” by [name]John[/name] [name]Green[/name], I fell more in love with it. Actually, I’ll just use a quote from the book to show people that there’s an actual meaning behind the name and not just a place.
“It’s from an Aleut word, ‘Alyeska.’ It means ‘that which the sea breaks against,’ and I love that.”
So yeah, after reading that, I liked it even more. Plus, Alaska is a very beautiful state. I know a lot of people think it’s too weird or “out there,” but I truly think it’s a gorgeous name (and I’m admittedly more attracted to non-conventional and eccentric things). To each their own. 
Would I ever name my kid that? If I could get away with it. x) I also love [name]Saskia[/name]. Very pretty.
The only combo’s I can come up with is Alaska [name]Leigh[/name] and [name]Saskia[/name] [name]May[/name], as one person suggested. I also move the sibset [name]Saskia[/name] and [name]Roksana[/name]. As for Alaska…maybe Alaska and [name]Marina[/name], since they’re both “water” names, or Alaska and [name]Britain[/name], place names. I knew a girl named [name]Britain[/name], too.

- Sorry, can’t really think of any… [name]Saskia[/name] seems very exotic and unusual, I have trouble finding a match for it.

MY NAME IS ALASKA. My birth name. And all I hear when i go out is “wow that’s so beautiful” “that’s unique who named you?” “what an interesting and pretty name” and “I love your name!” is the most common. I like my name now, I used to be very indifferent. I’ve had no nicknames or shortening of it at all. I’m happy to have a Russian name of a beautiful place that has a neat meaning.
