Help[Opinions] Sasha (m)
in reply to a message by Lily8
Here, Sasha is used both for boys and girls, personally I prefer Sasha for a boy and Shura for a girl.
I only like Sasha spelling, because in Russian and other Slavic languages (including mine), 'sh' is one letter and 'ch' is a different letter and sh is always like shoes and ch is always pronounced like in church.
You get Sasha, because -sha is a Russian diminutive ending added to the middle syllable of Alek-SA-nder. You also have MA-ria = MA-SHA, DA-ria = DA-SHA, MI-hael = MI-SHA, etc.
