sasha is unisex and for that reason alone id go for eliza. they're both lovely.

chancelloroftheexCHEQUERS · 10/01/2009 15:31

Prefer Eliza but not keen on either tbh.

ronaldoswife · 10/01/2009 15:38

Hi
I think Sasha is a beautiful name not to fussed on Eliza!

cariboo · 10/01/2009 15:41

Would that be short for Elizabeth and Natasha? Prefer Sasha/Natasha by a mile, fwiw

silverfairy · 10/01/2009 15:53

I think Sasha is more of a boy's name so definitely Eliza.

Heated · 10/01/2009 15:54

Sacha is either a boy's name or an alsation's imo.

Eliza is lovely.

cariboo · 10/01/2009 16:05

Sasha also short for Alexandra/Alexander.

Horton · 10/01/2009 16:33

Eliza is gorgeous.

LoveMyLapTop · 10/01/2009 16:34

Sasha
Eliza sounds like s cowgirl

DeborahBorr · 10/01/2009 16:35

I like Sasha for a boy but don't like it at all for a girl. In the Tracy/Kelly/Samantha zone for me.

Eliza is classy

CoteDAzur · 10/01/2009 16:36

Sasha is a boy's name. It is short form of Alexander in Russia.

WinkyWinkola · 10/01/2009 16:38

I had a Sasha doll when I was a girl and have always liked that name.

Eliza is ok. Quite starchy though, I think.

tumtumtetum · 10/01/2009 16:38

Prefer Eliza. Reminds me of My Fair Lady.

Why not name her Elizabeth officially and call her Eliza - that way when she is older she will have loads of other options to call herself if she wants.

ThornyRose · 10/01/2009 16:39

Sacha was my GSD

DonutMum · 10/01/2009 16:40

Sasha is an alsatian. Eliza is lovely.

ohdearwhatamess · 10/01/2009 16:54

Eliza is lovely.

Sasha is a GSD name.

DeborahBorr · 10/01/2009 16:59

GSD?

MilkMonitor · 10/01/2009 16:59

What's GSD?

german shepherd dog - they're always called sasha

LiffeyOink · 10/01/2009 17:03

Elizabeth Sasha with Eliza for short.

Love Sasha too though. Dog names comments silly because polly, molly bruno sadie etc all popular names

xxhunnyxx · 10/01/2009 17:34

I don't really like either but if I had to pick i'd chose Sasha.
Eliza sounds like an old woman's name. My Great Grandma was named Eliza but hated it so called herself Dorothy instead!

atowncalledalice · 10/01/2009 17:39

I love Eliza. Sasha is a bit 70s to my mind.

treacletart · 10/01/2009 17:46

I ADORE Eliza!
Sasha's ok , but it reminds me of my childhood doll.

othersideofchannel · 10/01/2009 22:21

I've only known boys (Alexanders) as Sashas, so wouldn't chose it for a girl.

Eliza is pretty.

Mammina · 10/01/2009 23:24

Sasha
