I love Shasta and Sasha!
I've now added all of these to my name lists. Thanks :)Shasta / Chesney / Charlaine - not familiar with these, but I like them. Shasta is my favourite of the threeSidonie - pretty, this is what I would choose any day over Sydney for girls. I find it more beautiful. Casilda - pretty, "Cas" or "Casi" would be a cute nickname Sasha - I like it for both girls and boys. Not bad at all.
Love Sidonie and Casilda's medieval grandeur.
Sidonie is ok, don't like most of the others, although Charlaine is interesting
Shasta - I prefer Daisy.Chesney - never seen it, and I hope my luck holds.Charlaine - not a successful mash-up. Charline or Charlene would be fine.Sidonie - unlikely to attract the French pronunciation; people could easily assume it was an elaboration of Sidney.Casilda - wasn't she the female lead in one of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas? Maybe The Gondoliers? It's a lovely show and actually quite a stylish name, though not to my taste.Sasha - much less boring than all the other nns for Alexander/Alexandra, but it's strictly male to me because of Sasha Distel.
I had a Polish friend in school called Charlaine (this spelling). Another was called Ola and I'm frustrated to find out I've forgotten the name of the third girl. Can't say I like the name myself, I mean its okay just not my styleChesney and Shasta I don't like I generally don't like or not keen on names too similar to my own name (Charlotte aka Lotty aka Shaz to some people, chosen by them generally. I briefly chose to go by Lotty, but while I do count this as my preferred nickname, I generally don't unless I need to. Shaz / Shazza / Shazzo is more of a comedic name used by a particular person in my past). Not sure why other than I might find it obnoxious for myself somehow? So, Charlaine and Shasta really do fall into that category, I struggle to be objective.I like Casilda and SashaSidonie I've never come across before, but I kinda like it
