Sasha is a cool name.

jkklpu · 01/08/2008 22:19

Sasha is boy or girl - affectionate form of Alexander/Alexandra in Russian

frazzle, I had a lhasa apso called Sasha as a child.

Other than that I think it's a nice name. I picked it for the dog after watching the Neighbours credits, it was the real name of the actress who played Lucy Robinson#2.

I used to have a dachshund called Sasha.
(It was a boy)

Quite like it for a girl though - although would be slightly concerned about the Bratz connotations (as mentioned previously).

What are your other choices?

Oblomov · 01/08/2008 19:12

Didn't know you were thinking of any other name.
Boy, it is Russian derivative of Alexander.
Girls name also Russian, not sure of meaning.
If mixed with nice middle name, I think it is lovely ofr a girl.

I have a friend called Sasha - we call her Splash.

I thin Sasha Suzanne is great.
We are having a Susannah if we have another girl.

FrannyandZooey · 01/08/2008 17:31

ds1's middle name is Sacha
we love it

belgo · 01/08/2008 17:30

I wouldn't worry about it being a Russian boy's name. i think it's common and well known enough in Britain for it to be a girl's name. It's far too pretty to keep it exclusively for boys.

CuckooClockWorkShy · 01/08/2008 17:29

I'm not a bugger, and I'm not in Russia.

CuckooClockWorkShy · 01/08/2008 17:28

I like it. Maybe it could be a nn for Saskia, which is very elegant but a little harsher than Sasha which is very soft and pretty. Would avoid any long term bratz problems too.

nowirehangers · 01/08/2008 17:16

I think it's gorgeous
Have a friend with a dd called Sasha Scarlett

Every other bugger in Russia is called Sasha y'know.

pucca · 01/08/2008 17:04

No

Do you know that one of the BRATZ dolls/things is called Sasha?

mamalovesmojitos · 01/08/2008 16:56

i like it.

nickeldime · 01/08/2008 16:47

Sasha is more of a boy's name as seen here: www.babynamespedia.com/meaning/Sasha/f
It's a nice name nevertheless!

belgo · 01/08/2008 16:35
