How would you spell...

[NotRicksWife]

Expecting DS in two weeks. We have decided on the name but not the spelling. For a boy do you prefer Sacha or Sasha?

For a boy, I think Sacha.

Sacha for a boy, or Sascha.

This might help OP www.mumsnet.com/Talk/baby_names/a1458064-Sasha-or-Sacha

Sacha is more obviously male. A lot of people might assume that Sasha was a girl if they aren't familiar with Russian names.

I prefer Sascha but if I had to choose one of your spellings then it would be Sacha.

Sacha = boy to me and Sasha = girl.

I know that's not right but just what my mind gets when it sees the name written.

I prefer the spelling Sascha. I like both Sasha and Sacha equally.

As far as I know, Sascha is the German spelling, Sacha is the French spelling, and Sasha is the usual Russian transliteration. If I had any ties to any of those, I'd probably choose based on that.

I would go with the more German spelling.

I think Sacha might end up losing the SH sound in favour of the CH of CHeese, whereas Sasha looks to my eye more like a girl's name (and I think this is the spelling used by Sasha Obama).

Sacha

Stat Sacha is the french spelling for boys, Sasha for girls
I don't tink it matters in english

Sascha = German boys name

Sacha = French boys name ( French say ch as sh like chat). Wouldn't use this in English.

Sasha = English spelling.

Lovely name btw! Really like it for a boy.

Thank you for your advice. Now debating Sacha and Sascha. 40+1 and no sign of the little one yet so we still have time.

I would use Sacha as a boy.

I have a son we call Sasha. It is a diminutive or nickname of Alexander ( which is his birth name). By calling a child Alexander you have lots of possibilties- Alex, Xander, Zander, Aleandro, Sasha or Sacha, Sandy.

If you name him Alexander you can keep your - and his options open. I think it's a lovely strong name.

Sacha for a boy i think, though personally I see this as a girls name, maybe because in my experiance have only heard it for female dogs. It is a nice name though

I know two - a British boy called Sacha and a Ukrainian (with Russian-speaking parents) called Sasha. So I think either would be fine, and neither is more obviously "male" than the other.

There are three boys with this name in classes with my DC. All are of Russian background and all spell it Sasha.

Got a boy, Sacha.

Sasha definitately. Sacha is the French spelling.

In Germany it is spellt Sascha and is only a boys name.
