There’s something about [name_f]Saskia[/name_f], isn’t there. [name_f]Saskia[/name_f] registers a bit differently to most of the list. I love it myself and have it on my long list, but I place it further on the unusual end of the spectrum along with [name_f]Amity[/name_f], [name_f]Lucine[/name_f], [name_f]Ismay[/name_f] and [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]It gives off strong international vibes – I suspect most people in Australian would be either unfamiliar with the name or just vaguely aware of it. If I met an adult [name_f]Saskia[/name_f] I would probably assume [name_m]Dutch[/name_m] heritage, although a child I’d be unsure. But someone unfamiliar with the name might not know what part of the world it’s from since it sounds cross-cultural.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Saskia[/name_f] is high energy, feisty and feminine. Reminds me of a bit of [name_f]Sasha[/name_f], [name_f]Annika[/name_f] and [name_f]Viveca[/name_f] but doesn’t have many close similarities. A name that could typify an eclectic style if there ever was one. It also carries a certain magnetism, at least for me. I think [name_f]Saskia[/name_f] is a real stand-out, but it’s one of those names I’d only truly consider if our family had Dutch/German heritage.
[name_f][/name_f]By the way, I do think [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and [name_m]Dylan[/name_m] could be done. I recall you mentioning that [name_f]Willa[/name_f] has an assortment of nicknames. It makes me think, wouldn’t [name_f]Billie[/name_f] and [name_m]Dylan[/name_m] be a spunky pair! So working backwards, what nickname could
[name_f][/name_f]soften [name_m]Dylan[/name_m]? Perhaps something like [name_f]Didi[/name_f], [name_f]Deenie[/name_f], [name_f]Dodie[/name_f], Lyddie? [name_m]Just[/name_m] thought I’d put it out there.
