Help[Opinions] Re: Sasha for a boy?
in reply to a message by Kelly R.
I like all three forms of Sasha, according to heritage: Sasha (Russian), Sascha (German), and Sacha (French).
I think Sasha (in any form) can stand on its own or as a full given name. The latter is one of my rare exceptions of nns being given as full names, but Sasha doesn't sound very nny at all to my English ears.
As a full name, I prefer Sasha for a boy (though I don't see red when it's used on a girl). As a nn for Alexander or Alexandra, I don't mind it on either sex. But for your area, perhaps it'd be safer to use Alexander, nn Sasha, rather than Sasha alone.
