My name is Saskia, and I quite like it. It's quite uncommon where I live, and I have never met another Saskia, but I enjoy having a somewhat uncommon name. It's feminine enough to be pretty without being sickly sweet or babyish, and nicknames are easy (Sass, Sassy, Kia...) The only problem I ever face is some people struggle to pronounce my name. I've had many amusing mispronunciations as well as being mistakenly called Sasha a lot. Otherwise, I love it.
