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?

@BiscuitLover3678

Russian boy

Any girl

This

A bar in Shanghai. Had some great nights in Sasha's!

Also, albeit the different spelling: Sacha Baron Cohen (or however you spell his name). Borat.

I only know it as a girl's name, but it seems a bit dated imo....

Friends dog

@TheYearOfSmallThings, interesting,I'm from Dublin and was in primary school in the mid 80s

If you were in the Blackrock-Booterstown area maybe you were in my class - there weren't all that many Sashas in those days!

Sasha Banks WWE wrestler I like the name

I think girls as the only one I’ve met is a little girl called Sasha, parents are Polish.

Russia/Alexander/Alex is initial thought but due to a Russian ballet teacher of my brother's many moons ago.
But I think it's ok a girls name too.

Sasha is a girl to me but I know it's like Nicola and a male name in other European countries

Bull terriers.

German shepherd dog

Love Sasha for a girl.

Russian boy - short for Alexander

Same here. Russian, short for Alexander.

In America I would love it m but in England not so much.

I knew a female Sasha as a child and always thought it was a girl's name, until I met a male one. I think it's a lovely name for a girl, for me it's sounds too feminine for a boy's name.

I only know one Sasha - a guy in his 20s with two British parents and no Russian heritage. He suits it very well but apparently was teased as a kid for having a “girl’s name”.

As a child my gran’s neighbour had a female German shepherd called Sasha.

Sasha = Russian man for me.

I know it's a different spelling but Sacha Levy from Holby springs to mind

@bellalou1234

That should say saskia

I did wonder wtf? 🤔 😂

@Ourlady

Distel

Wow the most handsome man ever. 💕💕💕

Colleague is called Sasha, (female) and its a beautiful name. One of my favourites.

I think of Sasha Obama.

Baron Cohen is my first association. Second association is an American lady I know who was very lovely and effortlessly glamorous. Definitely unisex in my mind

I'd only ever heard of Sasha Distel - a French singer who was well known in the 1970's I think.

But I do know of a young girl called Sasha who lives around the corner from me.
