Both v nice but like Eliza better.

love both (sigh my DH loves neither)

Would choose Eliza over Sasha. My friend shortens her daughter's Eliza to Lila, very pretty

Love love love Eliza!
Agree totally with DeborahBorr - Sasha is in the same category as Tracy/Samantha/Crystal! Don't like it at all. Eliza is classy and sweet, without being too popular yet as all the old lady names are now becoming.

I'd go for Eliza as Sasha seems to be becoming over popular - I know quite a few aged under 4.

MrsSeanBean · 16/01/2009 11:24

Eliza definitely!

I love them both. I think Eliza is a stand-alone name, but I would probably go with Alexandra and call her Sasha if I chose that one.

Hersetta · 16/01/2009 12:24

Love Eliza. Sasha sounds like it should belong to a labrador.

Barack Obama's girl's name is Sasha, so may get more popular?

Then again, not sure there was a surge of 'Chelseas' when Bill Clinton was in office

poppydaisy · 16/01/2009 12:44

Barack Obama's daughter is Natasha (nicknamed Sasha).

MrsMattie · 16/01/2009 12:45

Love Eliza. A beautiful name. really don't like Sasha at all - it has a harsh sound to my ears.

Squirdle · 16/01/2009 13:17

I love the name Sasha, don't like Eliza. I think Eliza is a sharp sounding name!

Sputnik · 16/01/2009 13:22

Eliza

MyDDisaSasha · 16/01/2009 13:27

DD is actually Sasha Elizabeth. I wanted Eliza but we went for the long version so she could shorten it later if she wanted. I call her Sasha Eliza quite often! As far as I'm concerned it has NO Tracey/Samantha/Crystal connotations - WTF?!

cuddlemum · 16/01/2009 15:16

Love Eliza. Dislike Sasha I'm afraid.

chisigirl · 16/01/2009 15:34

I LOVE the name Sasha.
Eliza sounds really harsh, imho.

belgo · 16/01/2009 15:35

Love Eliza. Sasha is ok.

MyDDisaSasha · 16/01/2009 18:38

I think Liza is harsh - the E softens it, I reckon.

Karamazov · 16/01/2009 21:42

Agree with most of the other posters - Eliza is lovely, Sasha is a bit naff imho. Go with Eliza.

jeanjeannie · 16/01/2009 21:56

Like Eliza - lovely.

My DP's name is Sasha - short for Alexsandar - so I associate it with boys!

nappyaddict · 17/01/2009 18:56

Eliza definitely. It is classic and timeless.

Sasha is very now.
