Misha is short for Mikhail, so it's like Mike. I think there might be some character that's a bear named "Misha," but I don't think the name means bear.

Sasha can be short for Alexander or Alexandra, so it's more unisex.

It just makes me think of that awful anorexic woman from the TV.

It's quite pretty though. And that awful anorexic woman won't be on the TV forever.

Love Mimi. Hate Mischa. Miranda would make a nice Mimi.

My sister is called Mesha (well actually Melisha, but no one calls her that) and it seems quite feminine to me. Think it goes with Saskia too as both those names are simple yet not too common. Not that having a common name should make a difference to what you want to call your own child

I know a Michaela who is called Mischa by friends, in Germany. It is quite a common nickname there, but slightly dated.

My Polish relatives use Misa (Misha) as a term of affection, like teddy bear. The Google translator says that mis (mish) can mean bear, which might be where it comes from.

I think it's a nice name, and you should go for it if you both really like it.

Love Saskia too, BTW

I like Mali, Maud, Manon and Mischa / Mica
