Alexander or just Sasha

[Nocturnaradish]

Older child has longer name for b/c which we use daily along with various shortenings.

Sasha would literally only be Sasha wouldn’t ever want to use a different shorter form. Love the name Sasha/ Sacha so much and would be disappointed that it wouldn’t be “official” anywhere. But

a) it’s traditionally never a standalone name and I’m a traditionalist

b) life is long; trends change and if he wants to ever use the full name or a different diminutive he could.

only other thing to consider is that we always introduce older child in full name and use it. But would only want to introduce him as Sasha and use that so that might feel a bit unbalanced. And I much prefer Sasha to Alexander

Noa is a girls name.

I have taught a female and a male Sasha. The girl was definitely just Sasha but I think the boy was Alexander. It was never ever used by anyone though, even on official certificates.

I think I would use Alexander though, just to give options. And might consider spelling it Sacha as that clues people in to him being a boy whereas Sasha, while used fo boys, makes you think girl until you meet him.

Alexander. They are both great names, but having the "proper" name will give him much more flexibility/be more appropriate when he is a 40 year old barrister or a 50 year old bank manager 😂

Definitely Alexander and use Sasha. I always think Sasha is very girly.

I’d use Alexander. Sasha Will usually be assumed to be a female name

My Sasha loves his name, suits it. Also doesn’t wish to be known as Alex

Alexander.

He likes to catch people out, show off when they don’t know his actual proper name is Aleksander 🤣🤣

He really suit his name though, I wasn’t sure actually to start off with as hubby picked his name as we wanted a Ukrainian name. But when he was born he was deffo a Sasha.

He also discovered recently that Gerard Piqué’s son, (footballer) is also Sasha and the same age as him. He loves this fact!
