Sasha is a great name for a guy, and it would definitely work in North America. My friend Alex's (Alexey) dad is Alexander nn Sasha, and though he's originally from Russia it really has no bearing on how why the nn takes. I think it's handsome, though I prefer Sascha (it's a difference in sound when said in Russian, the tranliteration is different) but in any case more and more people know about Sasha as a Russian nn for Alexander and so they probably wouldn't even hesitate when they hear it.
