Do you think girl or boy when you see this name....

[MrsLukaKovac]

Sacha....

Sorry not sure where to post this thread! I know I thought about names constantly for the last nine months so I thought I'd get most response here! DS2 born last Sunday, and as dh is Croatian we need a name that works in both english and europe. DS1 called Luka.

Sacha is known as a boys name in Europe but I don't want people constantly seeing his name and thinking he's a girl.

I'd really like to know if people's first impressions are that it is a girl's name, or if you knew it was a boys name.

Thanks!

boy. makes me think of sacha baron cohen.

I love this name and would choose it if I ever have a boy

Sacha definitely looks like a boys' name written down. No doubt in speech you'd be extra enthusiastic with the masculine pronouns for the first few months, just to make suer everyone gets the message.

Sacha - would think boy
Sasha - would think girl

A lovely name, by the way!

boy

Seeing it written down boy

But if you were shouting it in a park then girl

boy

boy

Ds's middle name is Sacha

I love it and sometimes wish we had saved it for a first name if we have another child

Either - it's like Leslie, Ashley & Hilary

I know 2 girl Sashas & 1 boy Sascha (Brazilian)

id thimk it was a girls name but i like names that can be for boys or girls and this is one

I've known 1 male and 1 female calld Sacha (and my sister's female dog, who is just gorgeous). Sorry this isn't much help for you.

I love that name, MrsLuka. And it really doesn't matter whether it's for a girl or a boy. It works well either way.

Personally, I always think of a boy when I hear Sacha, because of Sacha Distel.

Tamdin, the name I wanted to use for a girl was Avery, but I was sort of highjacking the thread.

Both. I've known both a man and a woman names Sacha, and it's pretty firmly either-or in my mind.

First instinct is bot but can definatly be used for either sex. I had a boy in my class at school and his name was Sacha.

boy

Boy!

I know a little boy called Sacha.

boy

isn't it short for alexander?

Boy

Boy. My girl cousin has the same name but spelt Sasha.

Lots of people would think girl as it's more commonly used for a girl - people will generally hear it before they see it written down. But I think you can get over that hurdle. It's a lovely name and reflects his heritage.
