[Opinions] Re: Sasha
in reply to a message by glaucous
I guess it could work on a boy, but it would ve very strange if his last name wasn't Russian. Doubly strange if his last name wasn't Russian and he claimed Sasha was a nn for Alexander. Most non-Russians are not going to understand how you get Sasha from Alexander and will think of the name as a girls' name.
I too am used to Sasha as a name for female cats. Phillip and I adopted a cat a lady had rescued from the side of the road and raised on a bottle, and we called her Sasha. She grew up to be HUGE and also very mean, we think now she was really a feral cat who couldn't be tamed. She became so aggressive we had to find a new home for her, on a farm owned by some people we know. There she could have plenty of runing-around room and hunting, but she'd be near people if she needed them but wasn't expected to be a lap cat. lol
