I like Saskia. (fun fact: Rembrandt(you know the painter)'s wife was also called Saskia!). Of your choices I particularly like the combo Saskia Rose

I love Saskia. Although I dislike the name Pauline, it complements Saskia wonderfully. I'd avoid Rose and Grace, because there are already a lot of "s" sounds in Saskia and it can begin to sound hissy.

I really like Saskia Madoline, or Saskia Madelyn.

I love Saskia but always think of the whole ashtray thing :) Eastenders ...

I like Saskia Rose and Saskia Juliet

Personally, I have replaced Saskia with Siaska (see-AS-kah) which I think is South American (can't remember which country!)

I love Saskia, very pretty! I think that the choices for mn you have here, are not very exciting or very original.

I really like this name, like the actress Saskia Burmeister from Hating Allison Ashley. I agree with Justina, the middle names you chose Im afraid sound a bit plain, compared to Saskia its a bit :| Anyway Im not sure what you could pick maybe not something that upstages the fn but isnt so plain like the others and NEVER i repeat NEVER name ur child Pauline in any part of its name ew... :)

Pauline is my grandmother's name, so I'd love to honour her. She was a second mother to me and I miss her every day.

I admit I'm not crazy about the name- I prefer Paulina. But Saskia Paulina doesn't sound that good.

Because Saskia is so unusual, I'd pair it with a simpler name.

But thanks for your input:)

I think it sounds very pretty. Unfortunately I went to school with a girl by that name (she was Dutch) and she ruined the name for me. It's annoying, when a name is uncommon, and you only know one person with that name, you strongly associate the name with that person. I went to school with lots of Maries and Sarahs and I never think of them when I hear those names.

But if I didn't have that association (she was nasty) then I would think it was a very pretty name. Particularly Saskia Rose.

Saskia Juliet sounds pretty. I also like Saskia Rose and Saskia Grace. Pauline is okay.

I think it's pretty and uncommon, which is always good. I like Saskia Rose and Saskia Juliet best.
