That's it really. Sasha's full name would be Alexander.

I also like Wlliam but DH won't consider it!

Sasha makes me think of a girl...

Ruprekt · 27/01/2013 22:29

Max

My Max says it is the best name in the world. Short and easy to spell and not too many nicknames for it.

doodledoodoo · 27/01/2013 22:28

Daniel

Reuben and Max make me think of dogs.

Snazzynewyear · 27/01/2013 22:28

Alexander for Sasha

Daniel

PenelopePisstop · 27/01/2013 22:26

Daniel.

Don't saddle him with Sacha it's far too effeminate. Think of him as teenager, they are self conscious enough.

Reuben

Are you in the uk? If so, I do think Sasha is very feminine.

MarianForrester · 27/01/2013 22:23

Max

TheDoctrineOfSciAndNatureClub · 27/01/2013 22:22

Daniel.

JammySplodger · 27/01/2013 22:22

Daniel, but then I'm biased.

Devora · 27/01/2013 22:21

Reuben

AntimonySalts · 27/01/2013 22:19

Reuben. Not Ethan.

blondieminx · 27/01/2013 22:19

Daniel

All the others quite popular atm and Daniel is classic, lovely name.

QueenOfCats · 27/01/2013 22:17

Sasha - love it!

Jellykat · 27/01/2013 22:11

Max.

AlwaysHoldingOnToStarbug · 27/01/2013 21:54

Reuben.

Greenwing · 27/01/2013 21:38

Daniel - by a mile.

Alexander would also get my vote so long as you DO NOT give him sas/cha as a nick name. I have known two - both girls. Not easy for a boy to have a girly name when he is growing up.

dancingted · 27/01/2013 20:31

Alexander would be first choice but not Sacha
And Daniel.

Wildwaterfalls · 27/01/2013 20:00

Daniel

Shybairns · 27/01/2013 19:57

Rueben

3monkeys3 · 27/01/2013 19:57

I love Sacha, but wasn't brave enough to use it. We still went with Alexander and call him Alexi. Assuming you're braver than me, I vote Sasha.

In Germany it's illegal to register a female Sacha. In Russua and the Slavic countries is predominantly male and always a nn for Alexander. In the US it's predominantly female. I can think of 2 famous bearers of the name: Sacha Baron Cohen (male) and Sasha Obama (female). So hard, I don't want to saddle him with a name he will think is too feminine.

Daniel is the safest option isn't it?
