Help[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on Sasha?
in reply to a message by Schuyler
hmmmmm Sascha is a popular boys name where I live, or at least it was popular in the 80s, so it seems dated. All the Saschas I know are actually named Sascha, not Alexander.
Even though I grew up with several boys named Sascha I always preferred it on a girl (spelled Sasha), it just seems very feminine to me. I also prefer it on its own and don't really like it as just a nickname for Aleksandr or Aleksandra. You could compare it to Natasha or Sonia, both Russian nicknames but they aren't nicknamey at all so I would rather use them on their own and not as nicknames for Natalia and Sofia.
I also think that Sasha will become quite popular for girls.
So yeah. I don't like it on a boy but I like it on a girl and it isn't nicknamey to me so I really prefer it on its own. I mean Sasha isn't short or cutesy like Alfie or Tim so it works fine on its own and if you never call him Alexander anyway, why name him Alexander ?
