Love Sacha/Sasha

I know a Raphaela who goes by Raffie which is cute.

Aurelia is nice, but I know a thousand girls at the moment who all begin with A.
A names seem to be very, very popular and they all blend into one.

Not a fan of any of them. Aurelia reminds me of areola. Rafaella is a no. Sasha is kind of ok but I thought it was more a boy's name.

Sasha with that spelling.
The other two are too frilly.

Agree with this!

I don't like Aurelia because although it looks pretty, it doesn't sound very nice, regardless of the Ree/Ray bit in the middle.
Raffaella looks pretty but I wouldn't know how to spell it without asking or checking, and like Rafael/Raphael (and Naomi) it gets a y added.
Raffa-yella doesn't sound pretty, and it will end up being Raff or Ella.

Sasha I like, but I'd put Alexandra on the CV, and as others pp, Saskia is lovely.
