Sasha with that spelling.
The other two are too frilly.

Sacha is my favourite. I used to think Sacha with a c was for a boy and Sasha with an S was for a boy but now I work with a female Sacha so I guess the two spellings are interchangeable.

Aurelia is nice but very frilly. I think it would really suit some people but not at all for others and there's no way of predicting whether it will suit your daughter. But then there's always Rory if she turns out not to be a 'frilly' person. I like that as a funky, more androgynous shortening.

I like Rafaella but would only use if you have Spanish/Portuguese/Central or South American heritage.

Sasha with an s if a baby girl.
Rafaella - hard pass - it's a lovely white chocolate and coconut balls of a name.

Aurelia but with an accent : Aurélia cos I'm posh! Wink Grin
