I spent too many years and too much money studying Russian to ever think of Misha as anything but a boy's name. If it worked the other way around; if feminine names were used for boys, then I might not be so adamant about it. But it's a one way street. Once it gets used for girls a name is usually lost for parents of little boys to use. It's not fair.

For a boy, I love Misha / Mischa, as a nn for Mikhail or even Michael. I prefer the Misha spelling.
