Sacha for a boy?

I like it, but only as a nickname for Alexander.

I see it very much as a boys name.

I'd spell it Sasha; Sacha is the normal French spelling.

Lovely for a boy imo. Sasha in English, Sacha in French and Sascha in German. Normally short for Alexander.

Yes its definitely still on our short list! Thanks everyone.

My nana constantly tells me my parents named me the wrong gender (I'm Alexandra and everyone calls me Sacha). I love my name and hate the 'sasha' spelling but people always seem to spell my name wrong. I've met a German lad called Sascha and we had a whole conversation about the name and it's spelling. I am fully aware my name is the boy version but I still love it and I get a little excited whenever I find people who spell their name my way regardless of gender (although I have only found guys so far!)...
What did you decide in the end?

WARNING OLD THREAD

Loads of boys called Sasha in London, btw. All my DC have classmates with that name. Haven't come across a girl, and I think they'd think it a bit odd if they did.

I think of it as a traditional European boys name and I like it. It has a nice swing to it sound wise and a bit of distinctiveness.

I love it! I would use Alexander though on the bc but just refer to him as Sasha from birth...

Lovely name! I also like it for a girl but prefer it for a boy..

Definitely a girl's name - in UK English the final 'a' sound is used to denote it's female.

By what if it's not an English name, Talbot?

President Obama's youngest daughter is a Sasha.

I think it's too much of a girl's name, tbh.

In most European countries It's a boys name.

It's a boy's name right across Europe, and in the more diverse parts of UK.

Post-Brexit, that might change, of course.

Not only is it a boys name across most of Europe and Russia but the spelling depends on the country, so
Sascha in Germany
Sacha in France
Sasha in Russia

I find it strange as a girls name personally.
