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?

The only sasha I've known personally was female, an extremely nice person who got a first in her degree and went on to be a very successful lawyer. I'm familiar enough with it as a boys name as well though that I'd probably consider it unisex and not make any assumptions if I heard it used out of context. I think it's a lovely name for either a girl or a boy.

Russian NN for Alexander.

Also a bratz doll which made me think it was a girl's name.

Not sure why people say it's a boy's name in eastern europe, it's not. It's a diminutive for either Alexander or Alexandra and as such one of few russian names (well, nicknames really) that are unisex. Shura is also unisex as far as I know.
I like it OP.

@Marty13, possibly because they know a Sascha and associate it with a man

Boys name

Sasha Fierce for me

I love it, and it's one of the few names that I think is equally nice for a girl or a boy. I know both. Obviously, there is a Russian connection and I really like it as a diminutive for Alexander, but I have also known a couple of (male) South Asian Sashas, so it's fairly international. It's a great name!

I love it.

Russians and dogs.

It's a girls name. I went to school with a Sasha (in the 80's).

I like it. Sassy, confident gregarious.

In Germany it's a boy's name.
