[Opinions] It's completely masculine IMO (m)

I find it very handsome and manly, not the least bit feminine. I only know one person by this name, a guy but he spells it Sacha. I think it definitely will rise in popularity, mainly because it's considered a unisex name now and those are trendy right now.

I've met 1 guy w/ the name and a couple gals and always thought it sounded more fem... like Tasha, Summer, etc.
Always thought it sounded more girlie than masculine... though not offensively girly on a guy like some others (have always thought Brendan sounded excessively girlie even though it's a boys' name)... The girl who sticks out in my mind right now with the name seemed very girlie to me and it suited her in that girlie way.

Ditto

I mean, I know that it's always been a nn for both Alexander and Alexandra, but it's still extremely masculine to me. I'd use Alexis nn Sasha on a boy. Both names are very manly and, well, Russian haha.

It's not just considered a unisex name now. It has always been unisex. It's a Russian nickname for both Alexander and Alexandra.

True, but I think recently it's been kicked higher into "unisex" mode. I just find it to be more masculine than feminine.

Okay :) I just think it's really feminine even though I grew up with a guy named Sascha. weird :P

Yeah, I think a lot of it has to do with me knowing a male Sacha. I just can't see it on a girl after knowing him :)
