What do you think of when you hear Sasha?

[BlueberryMacaron]

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

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

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

I like it like saskatoon too

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

That should say saskia

Boy.

Shura for girl.

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

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

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

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

My friend is called Sascha beautiful woman

I think of it as a girl's name first. My DD had a Sasha in her class.

Sasha to me is a girls name. I've only known one and she was in DD's class lovely girl from mc background.

Russian boy

Any girl

I love that name for a boy :)

A hansome man or a dog.

Firstly Baron Cohen

Secondly our old neighbours Alsatian

If you live in a diverse area, it'll be mainly a boys name, because that's the dominant usage in mainland especially eastern Europe

It can be used for girls, but that's less common. If you call him Alexander in full, there's loads of lovely short forms, including this one

I know a boy and a girl called Sasha. The boy is short for Alexander but the family call him Sasha. Girl is just Sasha. I don't think of it as "chavvy" or either of them. Both nice kids - they don't know each other - both suit it.

Girls name to me. And I think Russian.

It makes me think girls name.

I always think of girls. But apparently there’s a boy in my daughters class called Sascha.

I know little girls in my DC's class with that name ( 20 years ago ) 10 years ago I wanted 'Sacha' for my male dog, but was out voted.

The obsession with class on this thread is a bit icky.
