Mischa for a boy?

[Jordana]

what do you think of Mischa for a boys name.

[girliefriend]

terrible def sounds like a girls name (and a rubbish one at that!)

[Carrotsandcelery]

How do you pronounce it? I like how I think it sounds but wonder how easy it would be to go through life with it as a name.

[MarionCole]

I know a male Mischa. I like it but agree it could confuse people.

[PepsiPopcorn]

Sounds feminine to me.

[meditrina]

Lovely!

But I would assume Slav roots (and Mikhail as the full name).

[clarkland]

I taught a male Mischa, lovely lad.

[QueenBathsheba]

It's Russian! I love it.

[RightUpMyRue]

Think I'd prob go for Myka/Mika instead.

[Popbiscuit]

We have a lovely Russian family next door with a little boy called Mischa--he's BRILLIANT. Love it.

[JemimaMop]

I went to school with a male Mischa so I always think of it as a boys name.

[Edmundo]

I know a few male Mishcas (pn Meesh-ka) so it's all male to me. I like it.

[squeak2392]

If it's pronounced Mee-sha, I'd definitely think it was a girl, but I've seen this name on a thread elsewhere and EVERYONE said it would be weird on a girl =/

I'd probably accept it on someone from Eastern Europe, but otherwise I'd just think it was weird.

There's a little girl at my school called Mischa. Also there's the actress Mischa Barton. Just to be aware that it may be considered a girls name... (even if originally a boys).
