Famous namesake was Rembrandt's wife, Saskia van Uylenburgh.

It's a wonderful name. If I ever have a girl, her name will be Saskia.

Someone I know says they have yet to know a Saskia that isn't extremely beautiful.

A famous bearer is Czech moderator Saskia Burešová.
Saskia´s nicknames are Sassy, Saska, Sasin(k)a, Sissy.

It is a very beautiful name and I have always quite liked it. The only anynoying thing about this name is how to pronounce it! A lot of people get it wrong!

A very pretty name - all the Saskias I know are beautiful - if I had a daughter I would name her Saskia.

Pure class.

British actress Saskia Reeves, starred in Close My Eyes with Clive Owen and Alan Rickman. I liked the name so much I gave it to my daughter (Saskia Lucy).

Slovak hockey player Žigmund Pálffy and his wife Andrea have a daughter Saskia, born 2007.

In Dutch, this name is pronounced SAHS-key-uh.

This is my daughter's middle name. I think her name suits her perfectly because it is beautiful, unusual, and traditional.

Saskia is such a beautiful and special name. Every person I've ever met named Saskia is absolutely incredible and brings starshine to my life. I wish I were named Saskia.

Saskia is a beautiful name and is elegant on both young and old people. It also has some pretty nicknames like Sassy, Sasi, Sas and Saski.

Pronounced "sahs-kya".

My name is Saskia and it's pronounced Sass-key-ah. I really love my name, and the nicknames that come with it, Sass, Sassy, Saski, are nice too.

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. =)

Saskia may mean "a Saxon woman," and at some point was spelled Saxia.

How cute! When I first heard this name I thought it was gorgeous.

In Belgium, Saskia de Coster is a fairly highly regarded novelist.

This is probably my most favorite name. It is too gorgeous for words.

I think this is a wonderful name, and it sounds great too. :)

I have yet to meet a Saskia, but it's so beautiful. I love it.

I know a German girl named this. I love this name. She doesn't pronounce it ZAH-skee-ah, but SAH-skee-ah. I like both pronunciations!

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.

Saskia Burmeister is an Australian actress known for her roles in Hating Alison Ashley and Sea Patrol.

My overall impression is it's a very nice name. It's a really cute name for a young adult. Saskia to me is very 60s.

Really lovely name. Sounds artistic without being pretentious.

"Saskia Hamilton" is a song by singer/songwriter Ben Folds and novelist Nick Hornby from their 2010 album Lonely Avenue. The song is about the name of a poet, which Folds and Hornby 'thought she had a fantastic name for her line of work'. Very original, just like the name. :)

Funny, I always thought Saskia was pronounced 'Sass-kah' or 'Shass-kah'. But now that I know how it's actually pronounced, I like it better. :)

American actress Anne Dudek has a daughter named Saskia (born 2012).
