I love the name Sasha and wondered what other people thought of it. Would you think a Sasha was a boy or a girl? Do you associate Sasha with anyone in particular?

My friend is called Sascha beautiful woman

Sasha Baron Cohen always my first thought when I hear this name

Sasha is to me ALWAYS a girls name, and a bit of a chavvy one, sorry OP. I'm London if that helps.

Unless it’s to do with those godawful Sasha dolls.

A boy…..but it would be fine for a girl too.
My next door neighbour’s cat was Sasha.

ThymePoultice · 03/03/2022 17:46

Boy.

Shura for girl.

That should say saskia

Wicker73 · 03/03/2022 17:46

I think of it as short for Alexander- so a boy’s name. I associate it with Slavic languages.

bellalou1234 · 03/03/2022 17:45

I like it like saskatoon too

TheTempest · 03/03/2022 17:45

Yeah I think of a dog. Particularly a lovely staffie I know!

AuntieStella · 03/03/2022 17:45

Sasha is definitely a boy. Probably tall and handsome with chiselled cheekbones

My old rottweiler Sasha. Sorry. I associate it with dogs now because of her.
