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 son is Sachin nn Sacha mixed Indian heritage I love the name and it suits him well however I have had name regret over Xavier as in I regret not calling him that but I still do love Sacha it’s a very cool name no one forgets it and it means helper of mankind

Russian boy.

There was a famous Olympic skater from the US, Sasha Cohen, I remember watching her with admiration - so a positive association.

I cannot fathom a female Sasha.
Like calling a girl William or something equally masculine. For me at least.

If a boy, I'd think Russian. If a girl, bit Essex.

Lovely name and I really wouldn't speculate on sex u.til I met them

Girl Sasha I imagine a fiesty, intelligent girl with lots of confidence and a strong moral compass

Boy Sasha I imagine a booksmart, sensitive boy who likes nature and being outdoors, but not greatly into sport. Maybe a runner, musical talent :)

Alsatian

So a posh, working class, Russian male German Shepherd dog. Got it!

I didn't think that people would think it was like calling a girl Dave. As a pp said, I see it as more like Alex. Admittedly my main exposure to Russian names is following figure skating, but there are several female Russian Sashas (Alexandras) such as Sasha Trusova. I love it equally for a boy or a girl.

What do I think of?

One of my DDs. Actually she's Alexandra but its shortened to Sasha in the Russian place east of Poland-ish way.

Girls name for me. And agree with another poster who said ‘chavvy’. Sorry op!!

My pet dog I had as a child was called Sasha so it’s a dogs name to me.

Whenever I’ve heard it, it’s a girls name, but no reason it can’t be unisex.

Sasha Obama, President Obama daughter. Short for Natasha.

There’s a Sasha in my kids class, also a girl, short for Aleksandra (her parents are Russian).

I like the name, it’s very cool.

I know 4 dogs called Sasha. All girls. Do I associate it with doggos.

Definitely think of it as a girl's name. And all the Sasha's I've known have been rather beautiful and certainly not chavvy!

Girl - pretentious princess (sorry!)

Girl - beautiful and poised

My beautiful female cousin

I think it's unisex.
I like it.
Wasn't a Bratz doll called Sasha? Or did I imagine it?

Boy 100%

Beyonce's alias, Sasha Fierce
Obama's daughter.

I do actually like it!

Russian
Boy or girl

Went to an all girl's school with hundreds of Sasha's. Never liked any of them.

Girl. The only Sacha I know though was a bully at my secondary school in the 90s!

Next doors lab. Sorry!
