I like Sasha but sounds too nnish on its own.

Suggestions?

Definitely Alexandra or Alexander!

-asha is a typical Russian suffix for nicknames / endearments (Maria / Masha, Natalia / Natasha, Daria / Dasha, Alexei / Aliosha etc.)

I would have said Alexandra as well, but Natasha does make sense!

Natasha makes much more sense! Go with that

I knew a Sashareen once, shortened to Sasha

Normally it is a boys' nickname for Alexander. I guess it could be used for Alexandra as well?

I thought Alexandra as well but I know someone called Natasha who goes by Sasha

I think it's actually short for Alexandra, but i know someone called Saskia who pronounces it Sasha
