ArchivesRe: To Mike C. – About the name Sacha.
in reply to a message by Mike C
It doesn't seem to be uncommon in Dutch, with 716 male and 2,527 female bearers in the Netherlands (source: https://nvb.meertens.knaw.nl/naam/is/Sacha).
Perhaps the page can say that Sacha is chiefly masculine in French and chiefly feminine in Dutch, and thus mark it as unisex.

Fair enough. I will seriously consider this.
To keep this in perspective, we should remember that those 2,500 bearers were born over 70 years. In roughly the same period in France there were over 58,000 boys given the name (though France does have 4x the population).

Thanks for helping me on this case. I agree that Dutch Feminine usage as a variant of Sascha is plausible.

It's also worth noting that I found Feminine bearers with this name.
